The Sheepish Needle Samplar Club Update...

From my collection of antique sheep goods.

I love collecting these kinds of beautiful old signs.  This one

was printed on heavy card stock with a stand up prop

attached to the back...so pretty!

From the days gone by when shop keepers gave out these

types of complimentary tokens.

The first Sheepish Needle Samplar design is well on its way!

The threads and linen have been carefully chosen,

and the stitching began on Thursday...yay!

This first project will have a very different finish, 

and will require some cotton batting.

 I was happy to find nice 100% natural cotton batting

at Hancocks.

I'm hoping to start the finishing over the weekend,

and will reveal the club model either the Friday before 

or the Monday after the 4th of July.

I have given several very subtle clues so far in this post!

The first club kits are scheduled to ship on July 20th.

It's not to late to join the Sheepish Needle if you 

haven't already!

With the lovely mild summer we are having so far, 

Wisconsin's roadsides and hills are bursting with green...

My personal favorite is the wild vines that grow up the 

power lines.

Just a little wider view...only a couple of miles from our

farmhouse!

The flowers just love the cool nights with the random

gentle rains...

So many pretty flowers this time of year!

Every time I pull out of our driveway and pass by our field

that's posted...I think of these words!

Hope you enjoy a relaxing weekend in your neighborhood!

Until Monday...take care and stay cool!
