Home Again & a Stitching Update

I’m back from a quick personal trip to Florida, as mentioned last week before I took off. Monday involved a bit of recovery time and some appointments, so I didn’t get back into the swing of things as quickly as hoped.

But here we are, and things are vigorously rolling along again in the Studio. My desk is remarkably cluttered with projects that need to be documented and supplies that need to be sorted! That’s today’s Big Plan.

We’ve got supplies arriving daily for our next Stitch Snippet kit! Our projected launch date for that is the week of September 9 – 13, somewhere in there. The precise date hinges on one little backorder. Sigh!

I’ll be sharing the details of that project with you over the next couple weeks. It’s a fun project, not too taxing, lots of colors and stitches, with some simple finishing and a whole lot of adaptability!

In the meantime, here’s an update on this simple stitching project that’s been developing during occasional down-time and after hours. I initially showed it to you last week, and there’s a bit more to share now.

This is part of a collection of vintage French floral sampler motifs that I adapted into a kind of “stamped” cross stitch pattern for a ready-to-stitch towel set.

Much like this Vinterfolk towel set, this pretty floral collection evokes a sense of vintage charm. In my mind, it conjures up the simplicity of bygone days, while providing an uncomplicated, relaxed approach to decorating home goods with a touch of hand stitching.

The photos above show two of the designs in the collection – a little wild rose posy and a little violet posy.

The third design is a slightly larger bouquet of three flowers with leaves and sprays.

Even though the designs are slightly different in size, the cross stitches in all three designs are all the same size – about 1/8″. They’re easy to see, which makes the projects nice and transportable.

Well, that’s a short midweek update on what’s up in the Studio. As our ongoing projects develop, I’ll be sharing them with you!

I hope you’re having a great week!
