Anna Levens Comes Out of Hibernation

After a very cold and miserable spring we finally seem to be into summer weather, and that means hand stitching on the deck, which also means that Anna Levens has resurfaced. I think the last time I posted about her was the August long weekend of 2024, so it's been a while.


I had picked it up very briefly over the winter and recently managed to get enough hexies together to sew another 42 to one long edge, so I'm hoping to keep the mojo going. I'm loving revisiting all these prints!







I still get a kick out of the basting papers that I use and the messages that they seem to send me. I punch my own papers from business reply cards that come in magazines and mailings so there's some interesting reading...

And some I take as prompts. There's still rhubarb in the garden so me thinks that it's time to bake a little something from them - scones, muffins, cake?....M

  1. I love this! Where did you get your stamp from and how big are your hexagons? I'm trying to build up the courage to try a large hexie project!

  2. Hi Marie, I love the palette you have chosen for these sweet hexies. Yes, I use those mail items too and some of the messages are funny. Happy Stitching, J

  3. Ahhh, the joys of a summer stitching project! It's like the camping themed cross stitch that I only work on when we go camping, LOL! I love the "messages" your templates are sending and the lovely fabrics geting stitched together. All you need is something baked with that rhubarb and a tall glass of ice tea. Summer Heaven!!
