Summer Plans while I get ready to SEE you in SEPTEMBER....

Hello Peeps Gosh I hope you are staying cool or warm as the other side of our earth is experiencing winter .....I have a lot of things planned this summer....
I am working on a DOLL pattern for you all for a future blog hop called '"You're a DOLL" What you may like about this doll is her clothes are parts of her body... As expected from any patterns I have created there will be plenty of photos...
Can you think of some people in your life whom you would like to make a doll for?

Meanwhile.. we were out today and we kept slowing down to our neighbouring farmers for natures candy.... Now of course our dear herd here were only sweet in nature... but they did slow us down so we could stop and pick up some berries..

These will be for shortcake dessert tonight...

And while supper is marinating and potatoes are getting ready for a salad... I will keep stitching my Gingham Heart ...I chose this lovely yellow merino and silk wool to do the background...This will be a new top of a foot stool for SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER hop...
Details on side bar... Shari tells me we have quite a line up.. so if you are interested, let her know soon before she finalizes the schedule...

*I'm also working on my Gingham Quilt...because Gingham Matters to me...because I need something to warm my lap in my sewing studio during the cooler months ahead...and it is possible I have a realllll issue with the thought RBD could possibly stop producing some... I just can't go there...lol
I still had some trim from a bed skirt that my Nanny had on her bed... I thought why not incorporate it into my gingham quilt.. it is looking soooooo fine....

And I had some company of course...I took this shot while I was sipping some ice tea. Funny thing, is I left the room for just a second to shut the timer off for the potatoes Sumatra was sipping my tea too lol GUILTY !

AND
* I am working on a WEAVE tote that will also be a future hop and it will be filled with many coloured photos....... " La Belle Sac" -pretty bag. ohhhh I just know some of you will be thrilled for this wee adventure in weaving .....wink...

AND for those few hundred who have been waiting for the TUTORIAL on the Gingham WALLS...

*I have completed the tutorial on all the steps on how to paint Gingham Walls...( that will be available really soon) The paint company is even looking at some gift certificates for some of the actual paint.

AND
I plan on learning my new Cameo Silhouette. I will be designing some appliques that I have sketched over the years....
And because I don't think that will be enough to keep me busy while travelling this summer....
I have this in mind....

Have you ever been in a JAM when it comes to finessing your applique...?
Do you want to be a a Stitching QUEEN? I certainly do and I don't think there is anyone out there but Cori from Chitter Chatter Designs... who can lead us onto the thrown with such class and finesse...
She is providing us all the tutorials and patterns for FREE, and upon closer look of her tutorials she shows us every step to get the same results as her FINE PIECES OF STITCHING ART!
So from the comfort of your home, you will have all the lessons and patterns to create a lovely runner or border for a FOODIE quilt....So if you are wanting to learn something new this summer...
Join me with Cori ......and we will see you in SEPTEMBER...
