Hi crafty people, I hope you are all having a good weekend. It’s another overcast day here but the first of my sunflowers made an appearance this morning (perfect SAL timing!) so here it is….
I don’t really know where the time has gone in the last three weeks but I only managed a little bit of stitching. So here is where I was last time….
This what it looks like now…
This SAL is organised by the lovely Avis. who keeps us all on track (it’s always a surprise to me when the email comes in and I think it cannot be 3 weeks already!!)
I’m looking forward to catching up with all the other blogs in this SAL group. Please give them a visit too, I’ve linked them here so you can easily find them.
Avis , Claire, Gun, Carole, Sue, Constanze ,Christina, Kathy , Margaret , Cindy , Heidi , Jackie , Sunny , Hayley ,Megan , Deborah , Mary Margaret, Renee, Carmela, Sharon, Daisy, Anne ,Connie , AJ, Laura, Cathie and Linda, and Helen
Stay safe and be gentle with yourself at this time.

Perfect timing indeed! The flower in your garden is stunning ❤ I think you made a lot of progress with all that center flower fill in and butterfly. Great job!

Thanks Christina, it’s amazing how little bits of time stitching do make a bit of progress even if at the time you don’t think it’s much. The SAL is a great way to notice it I think. x

That’s still progress, so hurrah! Love your sunflower! We had one volunteer, but the bud was damaged in the hail, so it is looking quite deformed, though I think it will still bloom.

Aw fingers crossed the flower can bloom, I’m amazed ours have survived the wind we’ve been having recently, I must tie them up better in case! x

You filled in a lot of the center of that flower. That is a lot of progress. It is a cloudy overcast day here today also. Hmmm, good day for some stitching.

Great stitching! I love the real sunflower too 🙂 Two of mine have just popped but they’re burnt orange colour. I think I prefer your yellow one. My yellow ones are only just getting buds.

Oo lovely, we had a deep red one year which were really striking, but I think I prefer the yellow ones too, they are such cheerful flowers. x

I love sunflowers, and your stitched ones are beautiful! It seems to me that you have done quite a lot! I always intend to grow sunflowers, but somehow get my timing wrong.

Both of your sunflowers are lovely — I walk near someone’s sunflowers most mornings and they always brighten my morning. Great progress!

Lots of great progress Jenny. I have lots of sunflowers in the garden this year but I haven’ t planted any, so I am assuming the birds have been throwing their food about.
