INSPIRATION

What inspires most of us when it comes to doing something creative in our house, whether that’s redecorating a whole room or just adding  “something” special – a splash of color or accent piece? for Summer time? I personally enjoy updating my living room with lighter, brighter colors. Longer day-time hours, more leisure time, fewer demands from loved ones, will allow more time for yourself. Stitching a cross-point™ kit is a perfect way to spend some time sitting comfortably in the shade because cross-point™ is still fast, fun and easy! Need a lift? Have a quick delicious cucumber soup from one of my recipes.  What is your favorite way to spend a summer afternoon stitching?

CHOOSING COLORS

Inspiration for colors can come from many different sources. One way I choose colors for summer stitching a pillow may be based on a painting hanging on my wall.  Or, I may want to zero in on memories of a perfect beach vacation. Or mountain hike. I have written on that subject previously under Color Schemes :  Sea & Sky colors,   Mountain & Woods colors, Meadow & Field colors.

Patterns above are Morocco Stripe, Balouch Stripe, Shalimar, Celtic Knot, Oahu, Greek Border, Game Board, Moghul, Berber Stripe and Bergama) – just a few patterns from the website. Each design on the website includes a listing of  a multitude of companion kits in the same or coordinated colors. You have 55 patterns and over 400 color combinations available during this SPECIAL OFFER. What are your summer memories that inspire you to stitch a cushion in those remembered colors? I love your comments and read and reply to everyone.

Please try one of the summer soups too and tell me what you think of my cucumber soups. Which one do you prefer?
