Back in October I was lucky enough to win a give away from Martina and chose this as the piece to stitch on at the last Nimble Thimble meet-up. I finished all the stitching whilst I was away that following week and made it into a little pillow last week.
Welcome Autumn by Primrose Cottage Stitches
I really enjoyed this one and so I'd like to pass the kindness on and offer the CHART as a give away.
So, If you fancy stitching this for yourself and would like to win the chart please say so in your comment and I will draw a name at the end of May.

After what seems like weeks of rain we are finally getting some sunny days at last, Saturday afternoon was spent in the garden tidying things up and today I've planted up the last of the bedding plants in the pots. Everything is filling out and the garden looks a lot fuller than it did just a few weeks ago.
I know I post a photo every year but I'm just so proud of my Hosta It has to be done :-)
Just to give you an idea how big it is, that gap is about 5 foot across.
I've never had a problem with slugs and snails because of the copper tape around the pot, it really does work, there is no need to change it every year, it's been on this pot for years.
That's me all caught up for now, I hope you enjoy what's left of the week.

What a cute little pillow! Would love to win it.
I love your Hosta,It's so big and beautiful. I love your pillow too and would like to me in the draw. Love your kitty. big hugs Lynda Ruth
Hosts in pots are good, but you can't let the leaves touch anything, your plant is stunning, so big. It's worthy to be seen every year. Marlene, Poppypatchwork
What a gorgeous hosta.
I would love the stitchery pattern and after making it would pass it on just like you did.
God bless.
As pretty as your little pillow looks, a nice finish, you'll have a nice new decoration right away in the fall.
I also had a Hosta once, but it was totally bitten by snails and then didn't come back.
I wish you a nice week,
Hugs, Martina
Love your pillow .
Your garden is looking wonderful.
Have a fun week hugs June.
Never tire of looking at your hosta, ours is surviving so far this year. Lovely pic of the cat too. Would love to be in the draw for the chart. Sue x

Such a sweet pillow.
I love hostas, and that is a beauty!
Wow!
Love your Hosta, it looks amazing.
All the best Jan
Your little pillow is so cute, Maggie! And, wow! Your gardens are looking wonderful. I've never thought about growing hostas in pots, but will definitely consider it--that copper tape idea is wonderful. Have a relaxing weekend ♥
Wow that hosta is stunning. I use copper tape on some of my pots and it really does help keep the pesky molluscs away. Your primrose cottage pillow looks lovely as do all the real plants in the garden. The month of May is a wonderful month. Have a great week x
