Santa # 9 in the hoop

I started Santa# 9 this week, it's been moving along quite nicely.  I did have to unpick a few stitches.  But now I am back on track to add a few more slow stitches today!



This is what our weather forcast looks like for this week so staying inside and stitching sounds like the best way to deal with this heat wave.

Two finishes this week!

Well, with summer in full swing here in North Texas we are spending more time inside.  Covid is on a huge upswing here, another reason to stay close to home.  I am so happy that our govenor finally bit the bullet and ordered that masks are required in public places.    So I was able to get some great stitching time in this week.  First, I finished Santa number #8! He's quite jolly so there were a lot of stitches to make.  I had to count the finished Santa's to make sure he was number 8, so I laid them out on one of my quilt ladders.  I am really liking the variety and have found six more charts so I need to get them ordered!










Then on Wednesday the July motifs were released for the Linen and Threads SAL 2020.  It included a bird that I think is so cute so I couldn't wait to start stitching it.  I finished up yesterday afternoon so it is gonna be a long month waiting for the next release!




So hopefully today, I will be able to start Santa #9.  I also have a few embroideries I want to start so there will be plenty of stitches to do as we go thru July.
