Punch needle Holstein cows~

'The Girls' copyright 2018 Michelle L. Palmer

Punch needle project currently in my hoop~
These grazing Holsteins are interpreted from one of my very early watercolor paintings.

Summer on a farm~
The Girls would talk to each other as they crossed over the hill and
headed out to pasture for the day~
They were still carrying on conversation at milking time
as they slowly made their way back to the barn.
I loved to hear our neighbor calling them home and
  the sound of their hoofs clopping across the paved road. 
The cows knew exactly which stanchion was theirs...
Each with their own name~
They're just perfect.

Hope your summer has been going great, Friends!

Happy Summer, Sweet Friends!
July has come in with heat!
Perfect time for some needlework projects~ keeping cool inside!

Cover to cover is filled with beautiful patterns & tutorials!
The Old Tattered Flag carries it in their charming shop~
Found it on the shelf at Barnes & Noble Bookstore and JoAnn Fabrics!




The weather map is painted so pretty in hot pink, red, orange...
The week ahead will be filled with Independence Day
celebrations and record breaking heat. 
Wishing you safe travels and relaxation with those you love!
