That yellow house on Huckleberry Farm is everything!!!!! I love it! I was kitting up my stitch for the Strawberry Moon SAL this morning before work. I am doing the Strawberry Saltbox by Pinkernpunkinquilting. Congratulations on your daughter's graduation, how exciting. Have a great couple of weeks, Sarah.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Leslie! I love that house too, but I was really surprised when I got to it that the color is actually WDW Lichen which is more of a greenish-yellow. It works though and looks awesome! Can’t wait to see your Strawberry Saltbox progress on IG! ❤️🍓

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! ❤️

[@marygillmarten6758]

Sarah, thanks for sharing your work, the Robin Pickens piece is stunning! I'm on the fence on them -- I love all birds but not all bright things, but these are really gorgeous in person! Happy summer! We don't finish up until mid-June so my daughter (Sarah) is still at it although my husband, retired teacher but returned as a math resource teacher, is finished. I'm doing the Caterpillar SAL and also have not yet started, but boy did that kit come quickly! What a great company!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Robin! Glad to hear your Caterpillar Cross Stitch kit arrived quickly. I started mine a couple days ago and got that little taxi stitched. It’s so cute! ❤️

[@kimbowman13]

Your videos are so inspiring. I've been wanting to stitch the seasonal courier designs and love your idea in the Paisley & Polka Dot calender❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Kim! ❤️

[@marciadwyer1366]

See you at StitchCon! Love the summer blue jay pattern. I need a beach vacation. Have not been to the beach in many years!

[@sarahsstitchery]

It was great to see you Marcia! ❤️

[@dawnboseneiler3034]

Your Robins spring finish is perfect!’ Love it! I love stitching birds and have so many patterns, but those will definitely be in my future! Congratulations on your daughter’s graduation, what an accomplishment! Someday I’d love to attend Stitch Con, some gals in my local stitching group will be there. Looks like a blast! Speaking of strawberries, I recently finished Strawberry bird by Blue Flower, also one of my favorite designers. I cut a frame today so will have a finish this week! Have you stitched it? Love your channel!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Hi Dawn! I haven’t stitched Strawberry Bird yet, but it’s definitely on my list. I’m sure yours is stunning! ❤️

[@lizzythestitcher]

Every single thing you showed was stunning! I unfortunately don’t have Blackbird designs Strawberry sampler kitted otherwise I would jump in and join. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Congrats to your daughter as well!

[@sarahsstitchery]

For the SAL you can stitch on anything that has strawberries. Go check out Marjorie Made on Flosstube and Instagram for more details! ❤️

It's so wonderful to see the girls first thing!!!! They are just adorable!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! ❤️

[@stampincass]

You've made beautiful progress on your projects Sarah! I like how you are using your calendar and the bird seasonal stitches. Your robin is so pretty! We saw 3 blue jays the other day and I suspect that when you show that one off, it's going to inspire me to want to stitch it too!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Cass! I just love bluejays, and the colors in that chart are so vibrant. ❤️

[@sueb1828]

Your are way to young looking to have children graduating from college. Beautiful finishes. I will check out the strawberry SAL as I was planning on stitching strawberries myself. TFS.

[@sarahsstitchery]

You are too kind! 😊 Have fun stitching strawberries this summer! 🍓

[@rebeccathomas8126]

Love your videos and instagram posts. Congrats to your daughter on her graduation! Your huckleberry piece is lovely. I did the butterfly a couple of years ago and never moved on even though I love the pattern. I need to pick it up again. I hope to meet you at stitch con! Enjoy your summer vacay. (I love the Grand Canyon too-such a magical place.)

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Rebecca! See you at Stitch Con! ❤️

[@Handmadebysarahw]

Love that huckleberry progress! It’s going to be done in no time!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

I hope so!

Thanks Cathy! ❤️

Summer stitching is in full swing. Love seeing the pups. I enjoyed the video. Is Maggie going to be the next Vera Wang?

[@sarahsstitchery]

I knew you’d enjoy seeing the pups Fran! I can’t wait to see what direction Maggie goes with her creativity! ❤️

[@leighanneh1973]

Great video. By the way I love your hair lighter.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! ❤️

[@marybd123]

Your Petal Pusher WIP is beautiful. I bought a white Kobalt toolbox. Like you, not sure what to put in it yet. I like the needle minder idea.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Figuring out what to put in it is half the fun! ❤️

[@christinadanko6288]

❤❤❤

[@jeanneknight5297]

beautiful stitching! You are fast! How do you organize your floss in the drawers? I use bobbins in a tackle box but it’s a pain sometimes.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Jeanne! The smaller drawers are my extra DMC and they’re organized by number. The bigger drawers are my fancy flosses and each drawer holds a different brand.
