First Day Of Stitching Sunshine Blog Hop

The "Stitching Sunshine" blog hop is a perfect way to start the summer and chase away some of the chaos that's been happening. Are you ready for some fun...I am!

I love being on the first day of a blog hop, especially one that's hosted by the amazing Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks. She rocks my world with all her talent and creations, plus she brings "Sunshine" to my life!

With all the packing, moving, unpacking, packing, moving...etc., etc., I realized I have a lot of fabric. Even with all the thinning out I've tried to do over the years, there's still plenty to keep me busy.

So with one of those "in my head" ideas, I grabbed this and that from my stash with the sole purpose of not buying new fabric and using what I had. What came out of my head and stash was a 30" x 30" wall hanging for my sewing room.

The wall unit has a bar that's there to hook a ladder on, but I don't have the ladder yet...someday, hopefully. It adds some brightness to the room and makes me smile.

It even looks cheery in my backyard by the lemon tree!

Of course, I used my favorite iron-on adhesive. I love Heat n Bond Lite Iron-on Adhesive! I also used 28wt Aurifil thread for more definition around each piece.

There will be a whole week full of "Stitching Sunshine" happening and I know you'll be inspired as much as I will by what you see. Check out who's hopping with us!
