I had a new start this week. Diann at Little Penguin Quilts started this new stitch last week and I was smitten.
It’s a free pattern from Primrose Cottage Stitches, designed by Lindsey Weight. Diann has hers on her blog today, and here’s mine.

As I linked up to Kathy’s Quilts,I noticed Vicki @ Vicki’s Crafts and Quilting is also stitching Hello Summer. 😊
I had a piece of pink 14 count Aida in my stash. There was enough left to do this fun Hello Summer stitch. The pattern calls for Weeks Dye Works floss, but LiAnd I had all the cross over DMC colors except one #3832. Luckily Hobby Lobby had it. 🙂
Weeks Dye Works calls it Aztec Red, this conversion color looks pink to me. It looks fine however.I’m still working on the Octopus biscornu, but I’m to the place that I need to work on it at home. Here my only distraction is the ever present TV. And I’m learning to tune it out.
I’m linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching this morning.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful.



Hello Summer is a perfect seasonal project! Love those octopuses too! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, Judy! I thought that was a funny name for that color of floss, too - DMC calls it medium raspberry which seems just right. So glad I could entice you to start a new project! 🥰
ReplyDeleteA couple of fun cross stitches!!! Love those octopuses!!!
