Stitching along this Memorial Day

I'm getting restless once again and need a change from the black threads of the Hocuspocusville quilt embroidery something with a bit more color so while I work along on the seventh block later today I am going to trace out the patterns for a few summer stitchery patterns, more about that later in my post. First here is the progress I made yesterday on the seventh block, not too much was done but its progress
block seven 
I will link up at Supermom No Cape for the Monday link up party.  If you are curious click the link and take a look what other bloggers are working on.

The arrival of Memorial Day for many signifies the start of summer even though we have a few weeks of spring remaining. Every where I look lately I see an abundance of color popping up not just in gardens, there is our clothing, fabrics and home decor.
Since I need a project or two to divert my eyes from all the black threads I have chosen these three patterns to put on the light box today.  All Crab-apple Hill Studio, I may be just a little obsessesed with the patterns.http://www.crabapplehillstudio.com/
My fingers have been aching terribly from the numbness and tingling so a change from needle to pen should give some relief.
I have all the required embroidery threads for each pattern, the fabrics too, so all I need to do is press the fabrics, trace the embroidery patterns and then decide which one I will begin first.  Having three projects ready will make taking short breaks from the black embroidery easier.  I plan to work on the rest of the area shown in the photo of block seven done later today.

I wish all of you a safe  Memorial Day

  1. I can see how black can become tiresome. Your Hocuspocusville is looking great, though! Have fun with the new projects and I hope your fingers find some relief.

  3. You are moving right along on your Hocuspocusville blocks.

    You have some nice projects to work on during your breaks from the black & white.

  4. What pretty projects you have in the future. Hocuspocusville is looking wonderful. I hope your tingling and numbness gets better soon. I know how frustrating that can be.
