Summer Vacation has arrived here at last and with it the Basket of Cherries SAL that I'm co-hosting with Deborah @canopiedstitches on Instagram! It's been loads of fun so far and we are absolutely loving all the wonderful baskets popping up on social media!
The SAL started back on June 1st, using the hashtag #bbcherrybasket. The SAL is open to anyone who wants to join in, anytime you'd like to start it! It's a forever kind of SAL! I stitched my Basket of Cherries on 32 count Amber/Toasted Almond with all the called for GAST threads.
This was my progress after day one! or evening one ;)
Then on June 10th, I had a finish! It took me a little longer to stitch up than normal...we had a lot of things going on during the first two weeks of June! But every stitch was a joy and now the hunt begins for the perfect frame!
If you'd like to join the SAL, please do! Using the hashtag #bbcherrybasket and tag both myself @pumpkinhollowquilts and Deborah @canopiedstitches on IG..let us know your stitching it, so we can cheer you on!
Last week I decided to pop in a few FFO times, just so I could get a few things finish that have been waiting. If you follow me on Instagram/Facebook page or my Youtube aka Flosstube channel, than you've probably already seen my finish of this one. But I just have to make it all official here on my blog! This is my Boo Bee Wordplay by Hinzeit that my husband bought for me a few months back. I stitched it with the called for DMC Threads with 32 count linen that I tea/coffee dyed. I then framed it in a clearance frame that my hubby found at Michaels. Because Boo Bee is longer than it is wider, I added a black gingham ribbon and bow to the bottom, just to kinda make it more even to my critical eye..teehee!
Now the hubby just has to figure out where he wants it to hang, because he claims it needs to be an everyday fixture...it'll be interesting to see where he decides to put it;)
