You can find the pattern over at "Creatin in the Sticks"

Stitching Sunshine Blog Hop

We all need a little sunshine in our lives these days.
2020 has been one for the records so far.
Covid, protests, crazy weather...
Have you ever heard of a Derecho?
We had one here a few weeks ago. 
Its a large powerful thunderstorm with straight line winds,
 that cause widespread destruction.
80 mph winds, ripped out 2 of our almost 100 year old trees.
Many old trees in town were destroyed, store windows were blown out,
 campers flipped, roofs blown off, oil tanks under construction collapsed. 
It was quick and crazy.
Power went out, but thankfully we were only effected for about 2 1/2 hours.
It took 2 1/2 days, for many to get theirs back.

I'm hoping in my heart of hearts that it blew away any signs of the Covid virus
and we can all get back to normal now.
With all this going on, it's hard to focus on the good in life some times.
So I turned to NPR (National Public Radio) one day 
and was listening to a psychologist talking about
ways to deal with all the stress.
Her recommendation was to  
What you ask???
See
Miracles
In
Life
Everyday

It was then, that I  knew what my Stitching Sunshine project had to be.
Yellow isn't a color I work with  much, but after searching stash, 
I found a piece, that I hand dyed a few years ago, that would work quite nicely...


...and I started stitching my sunshine.


This is my "Smile" quilt. 
A reminder, that it's the only thing we can do some days.


This little 23"x 33" quiltie with simple text 
and some straight line quilting, sends a message, 
I love seeing when I go into my quilt room every day.

...and if you need another reason to smile


With all the destruction from our "Derecho",
my toilet planter was untouched!


So thank you Carla, for helping get us out of our "funk"
 by stitching a little "Sunshine".
UPDATE:
Do you ever find yourself thinking the universe is telling you something?
Just after I finished writing the post, I treated myself to a dark chocolate
"Dove" bar.
You know how they always share words of wisdom on their sticks...
Yep, it's a sign I tell you.
And if "Dove Bars" tell you  so, you know it has to be the gospel!
LOL!!

Please visit my fellow bloggers and see what is sunny, 
in their neck of the woods.

Watermelon Time


Summer is here and this week Thermoweb is celebrating the outdoors.
We all love being able to picnic outdoors...and it's the safest way to go 
in our current Covid situation, too.

So lets dress up our tables with fun placemats.
Using 
HeatNBond®Lite
HeatNBond®Vinyl
you can create waterproof placemats, in a snap.
Visit me on the Thermoweb blog  HERE  for the free pattern.
As an added bonus, there is a pattern for the watermelon trivet top also.

Anyone want to join me by the ole car pond, for a slice of "Watermelon"?

til next time...
Keep on Stitchin'
