ARE YOU A SPRING STITCHER?

March 23, 2022 By Cathy Habermann 2 Comments

Are you a Spring Stitcher?

I think a lot of stitchers work on their pumpkins & ornaments year round…but there seems to be a point in the year – right about now – when we put the snowmen stitches aside for something fresh! Birds, bees (we’re talking stitching remember), blooms…soft pastels or bright take your pick!

I was organizing the HOD model closet & nabbed a few items to give my upstairs decor a little refresh!

(side note here: we’ve had an incredibly dry winter here in NW IA & ever since I put the snowmen away…you guessed it – rain, sleet & snow!) We are grateful for any moisture since we’ve spent quit a few days under red flag warnings for field fires (thank you firemen for protecting us!)

Need some Spring Stitch ideas – discover a new-to-you design or maybe remember one that’s in your stash (time to start on it)!

The Hello Hoop design from the #chalktalk series – Let’s Talk Spring

 

 

Came the Spring – from the House on a Hill series (wool included for finishing) – side panel quote is ‘Came the Spring in all its Splendor’ – this mattress finish pincushion is perfect for the JABC Pin-Mini set.

Present Blessings – I chose this sweet sentiment because of its soft shades – hand dyed buttons are included (chart only (no buttons) is also available as a PDF)

 

 

Bloom from the Chalk Full series – I love the daisies & red ball jar from this fun series – based on the chalk artwork of Priscilla Blain (this entire series is now available as a download on the website)

Oh Bee Hive – say it in your best Austin Powers voice!! I do every time! Woolfelt Hexies are included with this sweet pillow!

 

Oh those sweet Penny Pillows – the flowers of Spring embody Harmony & Prosperity in Garden Duet – the penny’s are included – I love switching out these seasonal smalls!

 

Thank you for taking this Spring Stitching picture walk with me.

No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all weekend. Billy just got home from an amazing trip out west where he got to white water raft, ride a gondola, hike in a national park (where they saw all kinds of wildlife), swim, go to a real rodeo, go on an alpine rail, make new friends and so much more. 

I missed him so much (even though he doesn’t live with us every day…yep, the mom in me knew he was far away 😊) - we are so thankful to the Let’s Go West team for planning & documenting this trip. He’s staying on with us a few more days …I was even excited to do his laundry!?!?🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

It's World Emoji Day!! 🌼🤷🏼‍♀️🍅🪡😉❤️ 

Did you know that when I released Well Hello There - we called those adorable buttons that grace each stitch every month 'button-moji's'?? 

Button-moji packs are still available from my dear friends @justanotherbuttoncompany - I don't know that button-moji ever caught on as a word but they sure look cute

A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started Harvest Lilies from my good friend Tracy @inkcircles.xs - I switched up the linen for 32ct Rosewood @fabrics.by.steph & called for threads with Sulky 12wt. I do have a yellow pulled for the negative space that looks kinda quilty. I'm thinking about leaving it like it is...what do you think?
