I’d say it’s about tulip time

Stubborn Chicago weather disagrees. My daffodils still haven’t even started blooming. Luckily here are some tulips to tide me over a few more weeks. The Tulip Fairy Stitchette is up in the shop now.

Tulips or not, I’m taking my embroidery to the park today. I think we may have finally hit crafting outdoors temps!

  1. just adorable! isn’t it lovely to live in the midwest! i think today we might have pretty weather….but it could change by 5pm and snow….we never know!

  2. So cute and definitely inspiring for spring!

  3. oh i’m longing to sit on my porch and stitch!!

  4. I love the colors you chose here!! Very sweet patterns!

  5. Hillary, these are beautiful. That snail talks to me every time I see him!

  6. how very lovely!
    Minnesota weather is just about as disappointing as Chicago weather right now.
    Last thursday we had thunder, lightning and snow all at once.

  7. I love them!!
    you use the best colors-ALWAYS
    yes, finally I think it will be warming up.

  8. ok..I had to purchase just now! Love them. I will attempt to stitch my Avery the lovely tulip fairy {my first}
    Hope real flowers bloom for you soon =)

  9. Oh, payday is almost here and then I can buy this stitchette YAY!!! I love it! I need it since my pretty budding tulips were COVERED WITH SNOW today. Spring can be such a tease!

  10. BEAUTIFUL!

  11. Another beautiful design! Will you include the embroidery thread colours in your instructions though? This is an important part of design as you have such a good sense for colour but I noticed you don’t list them on your spring/summer/autumn/winter stitchettes – which is such a shame.

  12. That set looks great together! And I hear ya…I’m itching for spring too!

  13. I hope your tulips come up soon!
    But,like you said,in the meantime you have cute and springy things around you!

  14. These are precious! I especially love the sheep amongst the tulips!
    Enjoy the sunshine today!

  15. Too cute–order mine already! Summer stitchettes sound great too–picnic idea…sounds good. A picnic quilt/blanket would be fun to stitch up if you ask me (hint, hint) and of course a pitcher of lemonade… 🙂

  16. Hmmm, our daffodils are blooming here in Wheaton…of course, we only have three. They look a little lonely! Love the new stitchettes!

  17. I get that fluttery…i MUST HAVE THAT feeling here. This is a dangerous place.

  18. i just bought the stitchette. I can’t wait!

  19. These are just so lovely. You must be so very happy with them. They are on my wish list! – Jen

  20. I don’t even know how to embroider but I am inspired to learn! And it’s all your fault!

  21. sweet stitchettes! and the weather is a bummer indeed. just canceled my weekend visit to chicago to avoid the storms. oh, the midwest…
    i do love your work, nostalgic and sentimental. will visit again!

  22. These are unbelieveably adorable! I hope warm weather visits you soon.

  23. I think I need to order this!!! Just lovely!!!

  24. Adorable and so springy!
