Summer Nine Patch finish

Life has gotten in the way of much stitching lately, but I have managed to finish the Summer Nine Patch. I'm doing a happy dance about the finish, but I need my next project to be on linen!! I generally prefer linen, but these little tuck pillows come with Aida so I generally use what comes with the kit. The palm kit came with Aida and I was so anxious to start it I went ahead and did it on the Aida instead of waiting to get out to my LNS and pick up the linen. I'm kicking myself now, because I have so much done I don't want to start over yet I'm loathe to pick it up at the moment because I don't enjoy the feel of the cloth. I picked up the Irish tabletopper by Dutch treat to work on. This has been in my WIP pile for about a year now. I like working on the table toppers and it seems appropriate for the upcoming season.
I'm getting excited as this weekend is the first SNT retreat weekend. I need to decide what to bring to work on. Although I want to get Palms done by June, I don't think I'll bring it. (See rant above if you're wondering why) I've gotten an older Shepherd's Bush pattern for February that I'm contemplating along with the Lizzie Kate double flip piece. Summer Nine Patch
Pine Mountain
Well life is calling so I'd better get back to it. Happy stitching!

Very cute, I love the bright colors. I sooooo want summer to get here. All this winter/cold/snow is depressing.

Read your comment on my blog. I need to hear more about your weekend retreat with Stitches 'n Things. It is a little too far for me to travel there, but I would love hearing about it.
