This is the last day of my vacation, and yesterday was the first day of autumn (even if it is still in the 80s). Figure I'd find the perfect summer vacation sampler. This is by Cross Eyed Cricket. I've recently bought the CEC Halloween sampler, Sleepy Hollow, and will probably wait until spring to stitch that. I will be headed for Cape Cod sometime next month, but by the time I get there, the summer cottages will be boarded up, there will be a chilly breeze and the water will be gray, most likely.
This is the fabric for the sheers I've been working on; I suspect I will not finish them during this vacation. Lack of focus. Note that I did not embroider all the little aqua leaves; that would be masochistic. Maybe in my next life.
I did focus on the Neighborhood RR though. Most of this progress occurred during this week, when I was supposed to be sewing curtains. I find I get a lot done if I bump one project with another.

I love this CEC design. It looks very good, as does your house for the Neighbourhood RR.
LOL at getting alot done when you bump one project for another. I do this, too. ;)
Love the CEC project - it does indeed put me in mind of Cape Cod. :D
Very sweet work on the RR! And the CEC design is lovely!!
Oh Glenna, I love the house you are stitching, the yellow is so cheerful! I too am working on window treatments (just ideas so far) I bought a very handy book for sewing around the home and I'm hoping to buy some sale fabric this weekend! I hope you show a finished picture of yours, the fabric is very nice!
I love that CEC design and have thought about getting it time and time again....it's colorful and whimsical and makes you want to smile :)
Love your RR :)
I love all the stitching. That chart is so cute! Those will be some lovely sheers when finished.
The CEC design is beautiful. And I love the new Sleepy Hollow piece! The RR is looking great - what a cute house!
Ooo, I cannot recall off the top of my head who's rr you have, but wow, what a cute house! I love that sampler at the top of your entry too!
Oh wow, I absolutely ADORE that CEC design - the colours are just exquisite. I've never really looked at their designs before, but you've just opened my eyes! Crikey, I think it might just extend my wishlist even further, if that's possible! ;) You did a beautiful job of stitching it :D
Love the Cape Codish CEC chart. It's perfect for a Cape reminder. My son and family live in Hingham and live lots on the Cape. You'll have such a relaxing time, as you know. Wish I were going with you to stitch and read!
Hugs,
Deb
