Flip Flops Mill Hill Kit
2009 Spring Bouquet Collection
MH18-9104
Using Kit Materials
Stitched on Perforated Paper
Started Jul 13th. Took 3 Days.
4 Hours and 34 Minutes Start to Finished.
I used this one for the R on the July acrostic for the #24HOCS (finally a shorter way of writing the 24 hours of cross stitch monthly challenge thingy haha) Challenge since the flips flops have Red in them. Now 3 of the 10 letters are marked off. Next project up is Salt Water Taffy. I'm looking forward to working on it again.
Yesterday was the 15th so I'll also include a Gifted Gorgeousness update with this post. The idea of this fun blog SAL is for us to post things that we have received as gifts or are stitching as gifts. Stop over to Jo's post to see what everyone has shared this time.
Let me look back and see what I've been working on since the last time...
Adjust Your Sails was a gift from Bridgette my SAL partner. Here is where I am with it right now...
Here is what it will look like again...It will be back out sometime soon. I put it on my acrostic as well for this month. The letter A just demanded to have Adjust your Sails after it. Bridgette has made beautiful progress too. I seen it on her Instagram...
I worked on Embers which was on gifted fabric from Heather a blogger who doesn't blog any more I guess. I sure miss her and her beautiful pieces...
I finished up Mom's Nautical piece for July...
She also will be stealing the Flip Flops to display of course haha. Okay now I'm off to work on Salt Water Taffy. Have a great rest of your week everyone!

Wow, Katie, you have been a busy stitcher! I love your stitching, what wonderful gifts you received. I just love your Mom's nautical piece, as well as the flip flops, and I can see why both are heading her way, LOL.
Have a great week
Hugs
Adjust your sails looks so so beautiful. AriadnefromGreece!
All your pieces remind me of summer and the sea. So, you have someone who appreciates and appropriates your stitching as well.
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. You have some lovely projects to share, my favourite is the Seaside Sampler again. Just the perfect design for you!
Adjust your Sails has grown well, its lovely
LOL and there the flip flops! The picture makes perfect sense to me now! Adjust Your Sails is very pretty. I suppose when you finish it your Mom will steal it for her collection?
Those flip flops are cute. The colors in Adjust your Sails look better than the cover picture.
Lovely gifts (for your mom!) Looking forward t seeing more of Adjust Your Sails. I agree with others, your version is definitely better than the cover version! :)
Cute finishes!! I love the projects you do.
Fun flip flop finish! Your Adjust Your Sails is coming along beautifully, it looks more colourful than the finished picture.
