Hi everyone, I have been doing lots of different things over the past few weeks, I have managed to stitch a little more on this Summer project, I have not much to do on this and then it will be ready for framing.
I am also waiting for three cross stitch projects to be ready from the framers, I am hoping to show that over the next few weeks.
As most of you will know by now, the Tour De France started the tour in England and I was lucky to see them go through a town near us. I started cycling last year but have always been interested in watching the tour on tv. We got up at 6am to see the tour go through at 11am, we were in position early to make sure we got a good view point, and I must say it was certainly worth the wait! The crowd were in good spirits and everyone had a lovely time.
I also received my mini quilt from Flo in France, she made me a gorgeous red quilt that was embroidered in the middle, Flo also sent me some chocolate and some needles with a lovely card.
Thanks Flo, I love it. There are photos below but you can see more photos of the quilt on Flo’s blog here.

Beautiful work Lynn! You always amaze me. I love the colors of your granny squares. How exciting to be so close to the Tour De France – wonderful experience I am sure.
Lynn, I love the summer sampler, such lovely colors.
Your gift is so sweet, the chocolate looks yummy.
I am in love with your crochet.
I have a question, which magazine were you published in? do you have an issue number?
I would like to get that magazine.

summer is fantastic…. your stitch is pretty!!!!
How fun to watch the Tour de France. My people are from Wakefield, so I was excited that Yorkshire was featured in 2 of the 3 legs. Your pastel crochet is truly lovely!
Love the granny squares Lynn. My all time very favorite things in the world to crochet. Your stitching is looking great. I just saw a finish of this one on another blog.

Beautiful stitching Lynn, but I just love granny squares. I have made a few myself very addictive but relaxing, like your colour choice.
