Stitch Stroll 804-808

 A few recent finishes....framed by me with no glass (I usually use glass but was avoiding going out in the heat to get pieces cut at the hardware store).

First up is Spooky Halloween by the Bright Needle. I had this chart for awhile and recently found the frame for sale on FB. I nabbed it and proceeded to stitch the design, over one on 32 ct. Vintage Country Mocha with GAST, and one, VMSS fibers. I think it's an old Hog River frame.

Next up is a four seasonal series by The Drawn Thread. I had chosen Spot of Summer as my June project for Cross Stitch Camp hosted by Sherri, the Colorado Stitcher. The prompt was to stitch something that reflected when you liked to stitch...day or night. I love to stitch any time of the day, but I stumbled across this chart in my stash and decided it was the one! Stitched on 36 ct. Light Sand Edinborough with Anchor floss.

So, when I came across this chart, I also found the other three seasons, all kitted up from when I bought them in the mid 90's!!!! I decided to get 'em done! They were quick stitches and I've always loved them. I had the perfect frame in my stash, so it all fell together nicely. Here are the four framed......

Spot of Winter   36 ct. Rue Green Edinborough with Anchor floss

Spot of Spring   36 ct.  Cream Edinborough with Anchor floss

Spot of Autumn  36 ct. Summer Khaki Edinborough with Anchor floss

So happy to have these framed and soon to be hanging on a wall !!! Thirty years was too long to wait!!!

Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

PS  For those of you who were following me during the time my older daughter was going through her adoption process, here is a photo of James at his high school graduation. We are so proud!!! 

PS. Two weeks later I am realizing that I still had May on my calendar!!!! I'll blame it on the heat!!!
