SUMMER IN MINIATURE

During the summer we have this on display in my house. It all started with a kit I bought, I changed the aida from 14-count to 18-count so it would fit in the box as a background. I’m also into miniatures (1:12 scale) and added some to the box to give it more depth. The sand is from a beach visit. I was really inspired by your summer alphabet in issue 295 (July 2020), the letters are lovely and cheerful so I stitched a beach towel for my sister. I added flowers from Durene Jones’ tropical picnic mats in the same issue to give that little bit of extra exotic atmosphere. I really enjoyed stitching so many designs out of just that one issue.
