Some Finishing and Tusal

Spent the day with Cheryl. Besides having a great lunch, good conversation and some stitching time, we finished Summer Garden into a pillow. Couldn't get a really good picture, but I am pleased with the finished product. The ribbon is great.

Not alot of progress on Sandcastle Bay but hopely this Sunday or Monday I can get in some quality stitching time. Lets hope.

I won a wonderful giveaway from Libby in Australia. Her blog is and this little pig. Hope on over, her blog is great. I loved this pattern and have wanted to do it, so I was thrilled to have won. She included the fibers which are silks and cottons. The really best part of the giveaway is the wonderful piece of fabric that she dyed herself. The color is beautiful and it smells divine. I believe that she tea dyed and baked the fabric. Can't wait to stitch on it. Click on any of the pics for a larger view.

Last but not least is my TUSAL for the month. I keep pushing the orts down. Think I am going to get a larger container. You can see the reds and blues from all the patriotic stitching I did.

Happy Canada Day to my Canadian followers. To all of us in the US....Have a great holiday week-end!


Until the next time....Happy Stitching! Deborah
