Scones, happy mail, and Octopus's Garden
I didn't get any quilting done last evening, but I was busy. I made a batch of scones and did dishes.
The phone rang and I spent almost an hour talking to my son. That was good since I hadn't talked to him for a while. I got some happy mail. There is a blog I read, and the lady was giving away charts that she decided she would never stitch. I threw my name in the hat for three of them and they came yesterday.
I haven't posted the two samplers I finished recently. The one on the left - no, I did not forget to finish the yellow border. I duplicated the original and the border was never finished. These are smaller pieces and I put a ruler in the picture to show the length.
I decided I would pick up Octopus's Garden that I had a small start on. I posted this picture June 18.
It now looks like this
Here is my set up for stitching. I did gray out much of the chart and I had made an enlarged working copy that I could mark off the completed stitches. I did change highlighters from the yellow to peach. I can see the peach better.
My plans for the weekend are to work on the t-shirt quilt and work a show for the band. The show is local so I will drive myself and they only play for 45 minutes. A drum set, bass gear, and a backline will be provided so the amount of equipment will have to unload and load will be minimum. I was told we are going to have a pared down merch booth too; not sure what that means but I will find out! If it is not too hot this weekend, I need to try and get some more weeding done. Have a great weekend!

Those are some great patterns you won! I’m hoping my upcoming eye surgery will allow me to cross stitch again :). Yours are inspiring. Glad you got to chat with your son.
I hope you get some of nice cool weather we are having. Only 63 but sunny so it's really pleasant out.
Your stitcheries are so pretty and Octopus Garden is going to be really cute! I hope you had a great weekend.
