I thought I would start the celebration with a pic of Santa number six of my 12 Santa Journey! He's not as jolly as some of the others but was still a lot of fun to stitch! Will you be displaying a flag today?
I also found enough stitching time to finish June's chart for the Linen and Threads 2020 SAL! So hopefully Santa # 8 will get started today!
What a gorgeous Santa!
ReplyDeleteWell done for finishing June so quickly - i'm still working on mine. Not too much more to do though
Yes the June motifs for the SAL didn't take too long! Really looking forward to July to get released!
DeleteThanks for the reminder! I'll go put my banner flag out. Love your Santa and great progress on your LT sampler.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the flag flying and we really need some unification these days. Covid is on the rise here, see your in the same boat! UGH
Deletelove your stitching!
ReplyDeleteoh Carla.. Santa looks awesome and definitely patriotic with that flag... perfect to head your post on this day! I love your initials with the swirls around it you are stitching too... Enjoy Santa #8!

Im glad this SAL had a place for my initials and the year!
DeleteBeautiful stitching, I love, love, love your Santa!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that stitch along is growing to be way larger than I thought it would be... such a masterpiece of stitchery!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a lot of fun Kathy and each month is really making me realize the same thing!
DeleteThat Linen and Threads piece is lovely, as is your "Patriot Santa". I'm collecting the charts for the LaT Quaker; I generally don't do mystery projects until I can see the finished piece - burned a couple of times with projects that I would not have started if I knew what it looked like in the end. But this one I am liking more and more each month.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about mysteries! But I always seem to love the Quaker type samplers, so glad I dove in!
DeleteI love how your SAL piece is looking. That patriotic Santa is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Great projects to have going while we live thru this pandemic!
DeleteI love your patriotic Santa - he looks like Uncle Sam! I have been thinking about making something red/white/and blue because it's that time of year - there are so many fun choices!
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for patriotic themed anything! I really am enjoying all these Santa's even though it's summertime.
DeleteWow!! You have been so productive! I love your Santa. I am behind on the Linen and Threads SAL -- kudos to you for being so on top of things,
ReplyDeleteIt's ok to get behind, sometimes we have too many other things to finish or that are calling our name.
DeleteThe patriotic Santa is one of my favorite designs from the Schoolhouse Santa series.
ReplyDeleteI agree and really need to order some more charts, I think I am addicted. Have you started any crossstitch projects? I know you were thinking about it.
DeleteBoth your recent Santas are wonderful! And I love these sampler motifs. You are on a stitching roll!
ReplyDeleteI think I needed a change of pace. Enough quilts in the house and it's fun to work on these little projects.
DeleteI've loved all your santas, such a wonderful collection! Your stitch a long is looking great. The initials and date looks good too. I'm not sure what colour to do my initials so I'm leaving them off for now.
ReplyDeleteI debated for a bit but that wreath needed something and using one color makes it easier to decide. I haven't added any of the other initials, and really like the one that was posted on the FB group that had added little animals and other little motifs to fill in those spaces. Wonder if there is a book of tiny motifs?????
