The sheep's in the meadow.
After delaying a couple years because I could not find a suitable sampler for a little boy, I found the solution. Little Boy Blue from Country Cottage Needleworks is going to be the basis of a pillow. As an added feature, I plan to make a tooth fairy pocket on the back.
Yesterday was First Sunday Stitchers. Perhaps I should have worked on a patriotic design since FSS fell on the Fourth of July. It has taken me so long to decide what to make for our nephew's son that I thought it best to work on it. I filled in all of the light green background and feel like patting myself on the back.
I wonder if when we give the pillow to him I should tell him that the nursery rhyme is English and that the corn is really supposed to be wheat. Somehow, I think that the cow is much more charming standing in a field of maize than a wheat field.
During the PBS broadcast of the Fourth of July concert on The Mall in Washington, D.C, I stitched steadily. Just as the fireworks display began, I fastened off the thread. I know that fireworks on television is not nearly as spectacular as fireworks in person but there are no mosquitoes.

Its lovely Linda, the little cow is adorable, but you're right, that is NOT a cornfield
