August 2022 - Mary Mary Quite Contrary

Welcome to August’s block! Mary Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow? We’ve had both a heatwave and thunder storms in these first few weeks of August, my garden has struggled a bit, but I am still out there most days pottering about on my way back and fourth to the workshop! I just love to be in the garden growing things, and I love to design redwork with floral themes. It’s a great way to play with different stitches and is something that will never go out of style. This month you’ve got a big block for embroidery, I hope you enjoy taking some time out to sit back, enjoy the summer and stitch!

Mary, Mary… your block for August
