Nantucket Summer Sampler








Happy Sunday morning. I finished framing "Nantucket Summer Sampler".
I thought a distressed white frame would be appropriate for such a beachy theme. Here are some close-ups and the complete picture. I am glad I finished it, I was stitching slowly lately, but I made it. It should be ready for distribution within a week or two. I started on "Summer Cove". I decided that I need to start a stitching group in this area. I really don't have anyone that cross stitches that I know of and it would sure be a treat to get together with other stitchers, so if you live in the York Maine area please email me and maybe we can get a group together. I think we are going to take my grandson to the beach today for a little bit of playing in the sand, it finally stopped raining. Have a great day and hope to hear from you. Donna

  5. I really like this. Love the frame you chose too. The little sailboats look like they are just drifting along here. Makes me want to go to the beach now!

    I love your Nantucket Summer Sampler and the Summer Cove is a very interesting one, too. The white frame is perfect for the piece.
    What I need to know is where can I get one of these? Or both?
    I love your part of the country as I had a boyfriend from upstate N. Y. It is so beautiful up there I wish I could join your stitch-in it sounds like a hoot!
    Please, if you have time come by and see my new blog it is theflyingitchesneedle.blogspot.com.
    Great designs ~ I love your trees, being a tree person.
    Take care ~
    God Bless ~

    I'd give anything to be in your stitching group - alas, it is a bit far for me :)
