Good day everyone ~
Question: how do you get sunshine on a cloudy day, mid-winter? I think that one "issue" {cloudy days} is one many of us face in our long winterish season here in Montana. Sunshine. So when I can't get enough sunshine from outside... this is how I do it ~ inside...
And enter the triple straight stitch. Almost every machine has one of these... have you used yours lately?
Tip: lengthen your triple straight stitch... you will get more 'bang for your buck' in your pretty stitching. I also love having a pretty, polyester type of thread, solid or variegated.
Just a few scraps, bright colors {I know ~ typical me}. Happy fabrics. Sparkly threads in unexpected places...
Just a fun little table topper... these are so much fun for me to give as 'sunshiney gifts' to my friends...
"These are a few of my favorite things..."
Thanks for stopping in! Blessings on your day~

I definitely have to get through my old backlog of cloudy projects. I like your sunshine WAY better!
Another wonderful piece Leslie! Very cute! I love those happy threads. My very favorite thread is the Coats and Clark trilobal polyester embroidery thread. I love the sheen, and use them ALL THE TIME!
When I read the title of this post my mind automatically went to singing The Temptations, "I've got sunshiiiiiine on a cloudy day. When it's cold outsiiiiiiide, I got the month of May..." but at the end of your post, I switched to Julie Andrews, "These are a few of my favorite things...". Thanks for the joy your posts bring.
Many Blessings to You,

Love the combination of colors and design in this one!!!
I'm with Donna. I'm singing The Temps song now. That project is a bit of sunshine, that's for sure.
Yes, I've actually used my triple stitch on my 440! When I make my snap bags I use it for closing up the pocket for the metal tape...gives a nice finish and is really secure! Love the colors in this sample!! You go girl!! As you always do!
I've been quiet lately because I haven't been blog reading! Having a cup of coffee and TRYING to catch up...which will never happen!
What a pretty piece, Leslie! I have to confess, though. I've never heard of the triple straight stitch. My machine is a manual one. I probably don't have it.
Love it!!!
ohh... that is my kinda sunshine on a winter day! love the pretty greens. gorgeous piece, leslie! xo
