It's Julie's Birthday!

Today is Julie's birthday- Happy Birthday Julie!- so I can show what I stitched for her:) I wasn't sure what to stitch and I had several designs in mind before I eventually chose this one. It's a really sweet little design to stitch:)

The Sampler Girl A Little Bird's Tea

Stitched for Julie.

Earlier this week I decided to try Vonna's tutorial for basting and baking fabric. As I'm trying to use some of the fabric I have but didn't have the colour in the count I wanted I thought it was a good thing to do:) I am quite happy with the outcome. The smaller piece you see in the picture is a lighter colour as that is for Blackbird Designs Their Song and the larger piece I wanted a bit darker as that is for Carriage House Samplings Shores of Hawk Run Hollow. What do you think? Thank you Vonna for your tutorial. It is brilliant:)
Now onto my other stitching- all WIPS that I have to show for now:) First up is my little bit of progress on Blue Ribbon Designs Winter Wingding. This is so much fun to stitch and is coming along quite well.

Monday I decided to pick up Bea as it was my last chance before the end of July so that I could get a piccie on the BP blog. Since I started stitching this just a couple times a month I've started enjoying it more but I had to frog a little bit but, thankfully, it wasn't too much.

Oh I very nearly forgot to show my progress on HAED TT Purple Dragon from last week! So here she is. I didn't manage to stitch on this last night but I will tonight if I can get off Facebook! LOL!

I've also started my SB roll for this month which is English Christmas and I hope to have it finished for the end of the month:)

Not quite sure where the summer has gone to. We were woken early this morning by a storm then we had another one around 11am. The wind was really strong, the rain torrential and the thunder very loud!!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week:) Take care.

Hugs
