stitching friends summer blog hop . . .

Welcome!  I'm happily participating with the Stitching Friends Summer Blog Hop, put on by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching! Jo does several blog hops through the year, and I really enjoy participating.  The theme of this summer hop is . . .
That's right!  Stitching Friends Are Friends Who COUNT!  Love it!

My stitching friend is a very prolific stitcher.  And eclectic!  But it was the title of her blog that first caught my eye . . . it makes me smile *every* time I see it!

She does a lot (a LOT) of amazing cross stitch work . . . 

She also does some lovely, fun work with yarn!

And beading . . .

Just very accomplished!  To be honest, I wasn't sure what of my finishes would appeal to her . . . I don't do near the cross stitch she does!  I thought perhaps this blackwork piece (that I never finished):
Or maybe this embroidered pumpkin?!  I do know she likes to stitch for the holidays!

Have you figured it out yet?  It might have been easier if I'd shared some of her later finishes/projects . . . but I didn't want to make it too easy!  If you're still having a hard time figuring it out, check her out HERE!

And be sure to hop over to Jo's blog and check out all of the hop participants!!

Well hello Denise! I am so very glad to meet a fellow Christian blogger. I found you through the blog hop. :) I used to do all of Jo's blog hops. Honestly, I have slowed down on blogging. Less and less people visit my blog now. If you care to visit, my blog is: astitchersstory.blogspot.com

Oh I like the many stitches, in particular the blackwood that I've only recently discovered a love for.

Prima! I have recognized Leonore with the wool squirrel I saw on her blog recently and this lovely stitched guinea pig. It was great visiting you. Amitiés. xxx

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

Thanks for taking part in The Summer Postcard Blog Hop this year.
I am glad that you enjoyed Leonore's blog. Your blackwork is beautiful, you must finish it sometime! Love the pumpkin too.

I love the embroidered pumpkin. Do you know where the pattern is sold or it’s name? X

Well, I am still in the dark, but I am a bit slow on the uptake most of the time.
However, I enjoyed seeing the wonderful stitched pieces. Takes me back to my former life as a cross stitcher.
That blackwork is amazing. You need to get that finished, girlfriend! ;)

Thank you for your kind post - of course I recognized my own pictures immediatly :) I love your blackwork, really need to do more of that, and the pumpkin is fantastic!

Oh yes, Leonore has stitched some beautiful pieces, and the fox is adorable!
Your pumpkin is precious, perfect for our next season.

I feel I should have recognised Leonore’s stitching as I have joined in with many of Jo’s hops in the past and been paired with Leonore in photo swaps! And the first photo of her work now really says “ Leonore” to me!

I love your pumpkin embroidery and your beautiful blackwork!

I’m afraid, like Vickie, I haven’t blogged for a while as I’ve become mostly hooked on Instagram, but I am thinking I should do another blog post to say hello again. 😁
