A big thank you to all those who stitched along with us on the August 2012 stitch along, it was fantastic seeing all the different ways the pattern could be interpreted. 

Don't forget you can still find this fantastic pattern by Cate Anevski here.

I am absolutely loving the imagination going into everyone's interpretation of this design; this week we've seen fabric applique, elfin ears, bead work and some lovely fill stitches! 

August has gone by so quickly, I'll be doing a wrap up post for this stitch along next week but it's not too late to join in! You can find Cate's lovely pattern here.

What a good start! We've had a variety of citrus fruit, even a grapefruit (check out the grapefruit's cute little shoes)! Check out the links above to see the gorgeous stitching in greater detail (I love how everyone has done the hair)!

It's not too late to join in! You can find the Little Lemon Slice pattern from the oh so talented Cate Anevski here. Happy stitching everyone (and don't forget to add your pictures of Little Lemon / Lime / Orange / Grapefruit slice to the Embroidery pool, using the tag AugustStitchalong2012, so that we can find you)!

August Stitch Along!

We are very lucky to have the lovely and talented Cate Anevski design a pattern for us, for this month's Feeling Stitchy Stitch Along. Don't you think it's just perfect for stitching up in this hot weather, with a glass of ice cold something with a slice of lemon by your side? And in fact it doesn't have to be lemon, if that's not your thing, change the colour scheme and you've got a little lime slice or a little orange slice! You can download the pattern here (thank you Cate!).

I can't wait to see what everyone gets up to with this pattern! Don't forget to add pics of both your work in progress and your completed pieces to the Embroidery pool on Flickr and use the tag  AugustStitchalong2012 so that we can find you!

My start of Little Lemon Slice, I've picked some nice summery colours and I've blown the pattern up in Word, to make it slightly bigger, as I have plaaaaaaans.........
