I can't believe that it is already the 9th of July. The summer seems like it has hardly started and we are almost a third of the way through it. I have been stitching up a storm for myself lately. Now I need to do some finishing. With that being said I just finished this stitch.
This is a Prim Sisters Club stitch by The Pinkeep called Old Flag Station.
It was stitched on 30 count cocoa with DMC threads all included in the kit.
Started 7-7-2014
Finished 7-9-2014
Here is the back of the pillow with the fabric included in the kit.
I stuffed this pillow with sawdust. This is the first time I have used sawdust. I will have to say that I do like it. It is really quite light but firmly stuffed. I usually use crushed walnut shells which I also like but depending on the size of the pillow it can get a bit heavy.
One of the challenges of using sawdust is finding it. I went to a local lumberyard and they gave me a bag full. It can be hit or miss on whether they have it or not. But I will be using it again.
Here is Threadwork Primitives Beggar's 4th. I stitched it on 36 count coffee dyed/baked linen by myself using DMC threads.
Started 6-12-2014
Finished 6-19-2014
Should have gotten it finished before the 4th but it just didn't happen.

This is the frame I found in my stash that I think will work for this piece.
Well there is a bit of a catch up on what I have been doing since I last posted at least stitching wise. I have also been doing some sewing/quilting and taking care of grandkids plus trying to get to the gym 3 days a week along with walking and spending time with my hubby:)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the weather--it is gorgeous here today!!!
