Ahhh, summer! Is there any better time of the year? Spring allergies have settled, mosquitos are aplenty, the nights are short, and the days are fragrant with meadows and wildflowers. Truly, the most wonderful time to spend all your time outdoors. Unless, that is, you live in Furnace Creek; then summer might be a curse word for you. However, we believe that the majority of people can soak in the sun without shriveling to a dehydrated lump of hide, and if you’re looking for some summer activity ideas to make the most of this gorgeous season, this is our list dedicated to exactly that.
Have you ever heard of Big Stitch Quilting? Someone on instagram saw a quilt that I'm in the midst of working on and suggested I google "Big Stitch Quilting" and so I did! source It's a hand quilting technique that uses big stitches and there are lots of tutorials (and here) all over the internet. There are books, online classes, and entire websites dedicated to the topic. I have to say, I've done lots of Big Stitch Quilting before, but I didn't realize it had a name. I love the way the big stitches look: source source source source source...

I recently reconnected with a friend. I took some classes with lin back in the 80s (it amazes me how much time has passed!) Russian display towels and the goddess motif, a sampler of motifs from the eastern Mediterranean, a traditional Palestinian motif. In a bit of serendipity, I came across some of these pieces in my ufo pile around the same time lin found this blog and wrote me. She stitches and gardens, both with an intensity I admire. Her embroideries tend to be complex and fine counted thread designs based on traditional patterns she researches. (She likes it when the linen count is high and the stitches small!) Hare some of her lovely pieces that she is letting me share with you. The two samplers above are taken from traditional Latvian patterns. I'm going to let her words take it from here. Certainly you may put the Latvian sampler on your blog. It would be nice for others to see embroidery so unfamiliar outside of Latvia. The Baltic states are interesting. Lithuania, the southernmost, still has more weaving than embroidery. As you go north to Latvia, there is more embroidery done and further north to Estonia, even more. For this sampler I selected only the cross-stitch patterns from a book on Latvian costumes. Cross-stitch is actually a minor part of their embroidery tradition. Most of their embroideries feature several stitches in one piece, such as double running, counted satin stitch and counted stem stitch. I'll attach photos of 3 such pieces.Most of Latvia embroidery originates with ornamentation of the costumes. Long shawls were adorned with a wide band of embroidery on the narrow ends and thinner borders along the long sides. The cross-stitch designs of the sampler come from the white linen blouses and would have been stitched on collars (some standing, some folded over depending upon the cut of the blouse), cuffs and along the front opening (the narrow designs), and sometimes in bands at the shoulder or top of the sleeve. Men's shirts were also stitched, the most elegant in ornate whitework (all counted). The designs also appear on household items, such as table linens. I'd like nothing more than for other embroideries to see what is available "out there" in the rest of the world.Pretty cool, isn't it? Sometimes I feel no matter how much I see, there's always something new to be discovered.
