Stitching in the New England heat wave!

Spent the heat wave at the canal watching my husband fish!
The sun was brutally hot, we only lasted an hour in the sun,
thankfully there was a bit of shade which made the
six hours of fishing
(2 bites, 1 snapped line, no dinner!)
a bit more enjoyable!

I was prepared! Brought along my latest
embroidery project
"Sun and Sea"
 by Sandi Bard Designs.

A very cute design of small children at the beach!
Using a variegated Sulky 12 wt thread #4014
it runs from a medium blue to  aqua 
very pretty and reminds me of the ocean!


To beat the heat at home
(thank you central air conditioning)
worked on outlining my applique,
it's a work in progress,
I've never done this before so
there is a bit of a learning curve going on!

Enjoying the process!
