During the summer months I like squirreling myself away in the air conditioning to beat the heat. I've been busily stitching away. Hand Embroidery is such a "Sweet Retreat"!

Hi dear Carolyn,
your embroidery pieces are so sweet and beautifully done. Love those rabbits and their doings :-)
Thankyou for your so sweet comment, dear friend, -you are such a loving soul.
Hugs,Dorthe
Your work is really pretty. What are you going to do with the finished projects? xxx
I could do this all day every day. The colors of your cotton thread are amazing. Your little stitches are so beautiful. Keep them coming...smiles...Renee
Those greens...I swoon.
What sweet bunnies! I love the tilling bunny! So adorable! What gorgeous embroidery! :)

Oh Carolynn, where did you find these darling prints? Bunnies galore and so sweet....what nice work you do!! Sue K
Such wonderful colors! Happy stitching! ♥
Such talent and I love your pictures. The gradients of the yarn are wonderful!
Oh Carolyn! Your stitching is beautiful and I adore the patterns you've chosen. May I ask where the patterns are from? So cute and I think I need them :) And what is the thread you use, I've never seen it before and it's so very yummy. In another life, I used to be embroidery besotted - you may well get me started again! ;)
Happy stitching and Happy Rednesday!
What beautiful embroidery you do! I grew up embroidering everything in sight--and still love it! Great post!
Carolyn, I just love this whole post. I love the floss colors laid out in a row, and those stitchery bunnies are the cutest things ever.Your stitching is gorgeous. I've been doing some embroidery, too. It is a good thing to do when it's so hot outside!
I have some pillowcase that I hate to use because the embroidery was done by my grandmother and she even tatted the lace trim.
Nice to see the art of hand sticking is still alive. I'm afraid I have not known anyone who still does this lovely work in ages.
Are your dear bunnies tea towels...or are they quilt blocks...or??? I see so many possibilities! Lovely work, sweet friend. I am learning to paper piece hexagons...time to relearn some old skills and get new ones. =D
What talent you have! I think I need to give hand stitching a try. I'm going to be off my feet for quite awhile due to some surgery, and wouldn't it be great if I could become addicted to stitching? LOL
It's a bit intimidating, so I think I better look for a really simple pattern!
Thank you for the inspiration! :)
Erica
Oh my gosh how darling ad are you ever so talented. We share a love of the same color.
Carolynn, I love your beautifully stitched bunnies, and the threads are such glorious colors! Your work is always sheer perfection, thank you for sharing :)
I'm so glad you are enjoying these lovely summer days, even if it is sometimes too hot to be outdoors!
Every single one is adorable! I use to cross stitch and it is a relaxing retreat!
Carol
Oh my gosh, I am IN LOVE with this post. Those skeins of floss seriously touched my heart, and I started googling because I HAD to have some. I thought it was maybe a new floss you were making and I wanted to carry it in my shop for you! Then I realized they are vintage and I'm so sad. Bummer. Anyhow, I will just come back and look at your pictures and that will have to do! You do such a beautiful job, I love all your projects. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving the sweet comment, I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful weekend my friend, and keep on stitching! (and sharing pics so we can enjoy your talents)
Hugs,
Julie
Hello my lovely! I think I have have fallen in love with all your bunnies! I especially like 'A hare raising tale'! They are all so charming, and beautifully crafted. Just think how lovely it would be to sit over a cup of tea whilst stitching and chatting away! Who knows, maybe one day I'll pop over the pond and come and say 'hi'! Have a wonderfully, blessed weekend, and enjoy times of refreshing! Much love, Tania x
P.S. Thank you for stopping by my blog, and for your lovely, cheerful words. They mean the world to me! ♥
Hi Carolynn,
(Please forgive me for not seeing previously that you spell your name with two "l's"! Sheesh!)
You're a big sweetie. Thank you so much for answering my questions.
I am familiar with Bunny Hill, have always enjoyed oooohing and ahhhing over their darling things. Alas they don't have any embroidery patterns by themselves of bunnies that I could find. You have to buy a quilt kit. WAH! I'm going to think about it for a bit and decide whether I'll actually ever make them if I buy the kit - my eyes for projects are always bigger than my interest or time allows. ;)
I was able to find some of the floss online - although still fun, not as fun as yours since the array of colors wasn't as yummy or as large.
Yes! I sure do know about both Turkey Feathers and My Vintage Mending for patterns - thanks so very much, that's so sweet of you and it's always good to give my old middle aged memory a jiggle and a joggle!
Thanks again so much for all of your help,
Sally
I love embrodery! Such cute bunnies, so busy with carrots on the mind. Everytime I see a display of floss, I want it all. Wonderful post!
A Southern Hug!
Marcie
I am In Love with your embroidered bunnies! How darn cute can you get? I love the way you put your post together too.
Blessings,
Susie
Your blog is so adorable. I love the red teacup background. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your encouragement on my cherry post!
Oh my gosh, your embroidery truly is sweet! I love all those little bunnies. And I also love the scripture at the end of your post. Have a wonderful Sunday, Nan
Oh my gosh Carolynn these are absolutely darling. I love to embroider. I made some bunny dish towels from a vintage pattern a few years ago to hang in my laundry for Spring. Yours are so cute and I loved what you wrote about each one. What kind of floss is it? I like the looks of it. I usually always use DMC. Thanks for sharing these cuties with Share Your Cup.
Hugs,
Jann
p.s. Cute new header!
Carolynn, you have been one busy girl! I love your embroidered pieces!! Just too cute! Oh, and I recognize the fabric on your sidebars. I have some in my stash!
Stay cool - tis smokin' HOT here!!
xxooxxoo

I so want to learn to embroidery again! I got some thread at a thrift store so now I just need to figure out how to start! I love these precious designs!
You are so talented! What sweet images and nice workmanship...a treat to see~
Happy week ahead...and I'm with you. I become a mole when the heat is on. Ugh, don't like it.

My goodness, if I had this talent, I wouldn't mind so much being trapped in the air conditioning during this hot HOT summer! You do such beautiful work, Carolynn!
You have been busy! Very beautiful embroidery pics!
Hi
I had marked this site to favorites and came back to visit again today on my lunch break....was hoping to see if you'd posted where these cute patterns came from...my neice was just saying last week that she'd like to learn embroidery, and it's been ages since I have done any but these looked so cute I thought I might have a go at it again and do one or two with her...
Those bunny embroidery pieces are PRECIOUS. I've enjoyed browsing your blog. THANKS for the fun.
