Lima Beans Update

Lima Beans? Update?? I know, the beginning of this project was buried in another post, so it is unlikely anyone remembers it. But, it has been coming along this week:


This is the first of four seed packet patterns from June Grigg that I bought in the early 90s and am finally getting around to.  The stitching is on 18 ct aida, and the texture and coverage are really nice.  I remember now that the texture is what attracted me to the projects in the first place, when I saw the samples in June's booth so long ago. I wish you could all feel it through your screens!

Other than some cross stitch and a few more stars, I've mainly been waffling about some design ideas this past week.  I've been over to Fabricland three days in a row now.  Yesterday I had finished my shopping and was driving out the driveway, when I had another idea and turned around to go back again! Most of my plans have been for the RVQG BOM, but today I cracked and bought some Christmas fabric too.  It's hard to say no to $5 per metre! And we need new Christmas placemats...

    1. Thanks, Margaret! I think June's design manages the values very well.

  2. This made me smile. I went to my local Spotlight, a general sewing/craft chain, three times in three days this week to get thread! Every time I got home and finished off what I was doing I found another project that needed thread.

    I love the seed packet. Great idea and looking good.

    1. LOL, Jillian! I'm hoping that three times is the charm. Although, when I was looking over my purchases last night I thought that some light green Christmas fabric would be the final touch...

I'm told Blogger has been bouncing some comments, so if it happens to you I'm sorry! But the settings look right so I can't explain it. In any case, thanks for reading!
