"See You In September" is our latest hop. We were to use gingham in at least one project this summer, and show what else we did. It all started when Madame Samm found out that Riley Blake was going to discontinue their gingham line. She started a campaign to make sewers aware of gingham! (It has now been found out that they are not going to let all of it go.) Shari of Living with Purpose has been our cheerleader. She and Madame Samm have done an outstanding job on keeping us on task for this hop. Here is today's lineup that I am pleased to share with.
Please don't forget to give them all a shout out. There has been an amazing group of quilters showing us what they can do with gingham during this hop.

| This how I used some of my gingham. I thought a new hat was in order. |
 |
| Some of you know I love to make cards. Here are two gingham cards using the iris folding method. |
 |
| I loved making these. |
 |
| While I was on the retreat this past week, I made this apron. It is a gingham background with cherries all over it. |
 |
| We did a bit of traveling to this summer. While in the car, I like to have handwork to do. I made all of these dime sized yo yos. for this miniature quilt. It is a " Little Red Button " pattern. |
 |
| Also, finished this little runner. |
 |
| Can you tell I was into small this summer. Here is a little hexie quilt. It is part of a seasonal series that was created by one of the local quilt shops. |
 |
| As I said, I finished up 7 small projects. I think I have all the seasons covered here. |
 |
| Here is some of the gingham I have collected. I have several more ideas for uses of these great gingham's. You can never have too much! It has been a great summer for sewing and handwork. I hope you had a great summer as well. Mary |

Your projects are all adorable...really LOVE YOUR HAT!
I love small! Your hat is perfect. Thank you for sharing.
So many fun projects! I'm with the others - the hat is the best! :)
Great projects; love the hat!
I love small projects and of yours are just so fun and bright - oh, the tiney yo-yo's, bless you!!
Love your hat and those cards and that apron and those yo-yos, well I really like every little project you made. A summer of traveling requires a bunch of little projects. You finished a whole bunch of them!
some great projects here you have been busy. I steer away from gingham, have enough problems trying to keep stripes straight gingham would be a nightmare for me, hopefully I will improve with practise and them maybe the gingham will have a go with me!
LOVE the hat! It is incredible! All your projects are great. You did a lot this summer! I cannot understand how people can sew in the car....I can't get a stitch right. Well, unless we are at a traffic light! Thank you for sharing.
Oh what wonderful projects! I love your mini with the dime size yo yos. I can't imagine stitching something that small. What a gorgeous array of ginghams!
Mary, I think you do have all the seasons covered as well as your head. I adore all your projects. When I had a spouse, I loved to do projects in the car - particularly cross stitching or knitting. My second husband loved to see me craft anywhere. My first husband was such a controller that he wanted to control what I did. He thought I should be changing the CD in the car at the instant it went around and he thought I should be looking at the scenery even though we had been over that same route many, many times. I wanted to stitch and enjoy that. It was a constant battle and I couldn't enjoy whatever I did in the car. I am elated that you accomplished so much this summer. Thank you for participating in the hop and sharing your wonderful accomplishments. You brightened my day.
Lovely projects especially the hat. I am amazed at how many wonderful things I have seen on this Blog Hop.
Your hat is so cute! Love your little projects especially the yoyos they look teeny.

Luv the snowman runner...I have that pattern...it's on my 'to do list'. I have Red Button's 'Snowball Bunch'...a mini and it is shouting...make me!!! Yes, it looks like you covered all seasons.
I luv to stitch in the car too, but can do it only if I am sitting in the front. I can stitch, knit or crochet in the car with no problem...but give me something to read I am struck with the 'motion bug'. Thanks for sharing and your inspiration. Enjoy your day!! Happy stitching, Pauline

How CUTE are you in your hat !! Your cards are so cool ! All your projects mini, small or large are awesome Mary !
Great projects. Love the hat, and your cards are lovely.
Well done, my friend. I love the little yo-yo's, and definitely see that project in my future.
What wonderful projects you have. I love doing little projects, it kinda breaks things up a bit. Looks to me like you sure hit all the holidays. Oh and your cards...are they cards to mail? They are sweet!
You sure have been busy! I love the hat and it looks wonderful on you. I sure wish I looked good in hats, but I just don't have the right face/head for them. :-( I love your winter runner. How fun is that! Thanks for sharing your creations and talents with us today! :-)
Beautiful work, I like the min quilt for halloween. The hat is too cute
You have been one busy bee! I love all your projects and the gingham hat is fantastic! Nice Work! ~Chelsey
Love the hat!
Oh That Hat!! It almost looks like houndstooth which is SO popular in the state of Alabama due to the late Coach Bear Bryant who wore a houndstooth hat similar to your hat. Men & women wear these hats to the game. Your retreat looked so relaxing and I must say that picture with the grasshopper in the air is pretty spectacular. You should enter that in a photo contest...such as your local paper. I know we have a photo contest in our local paper plus the local TV channels ask for pictures such as this. You MUST enter this somewhere!

You look soooo lovely in you Gingham hat. And my favorite "little" project is the red buttons. Truly I am amazed at the high level of productivity of all the bloggers. I think I need to find out what vitamins you all are on! Thanks for sharing. It has been fun seeing everyone's projects. Janita
I wish your cute snowmen could bring us some cool weather. They are darling. The tiny yo yos are tough to get so perfect but you did it. Lots of pretties for us to look at.
Great projects--I love the hat!
Oh, Mary, that hat!! Oh, and all your little projects - I love them all!
Love the hat and all your project, you have really been working up a storm. Thank you for sharing all your projects.
Well, of course, the hat is the best and the coolest!! How inventive! The cards are really sweet and the apron is lovely. Little Red Button is waaaay tooo tiny for me! :)
Look at you in your new hat! Love it and all of your colorful projects. Right up my alley.
Mary I'm loving that hat....really and truly you made it? I must learn to do that! And the yo yos...oh my goodness, one of my best friends would swoon over that. blessings, marlene
Wow! You've had a busy summer!! I love your little hat as well as all your projects.
I really enjoy your festive photo at the end! I am loving that tumbler flag, I have a number of red, white, and blue scraps and a mini tumbler that may work great for that project. Thank you for the inspiration!

Woderful projects but the best project is your gingham hat.
Looks great and you too *smile*
Love that Hat and all the many projects you completed. Hugs, Susie x
As a HUGE hat lover, I immediately felt in love with yours, beautiful, and it fits you perfectly, such a nice lady!
Don't you look cute in your new hat, Mary! Since I am so delayed getting around to comment I also had the pleasure of seeing your post from your retreat in Racine. Very nice! Love the apron and the other card projects. Gingham is just plain classic and cheerful!
Great projects. That gingham hat is so cute.
Your hat is just too cute! I love it! Along with your other projects. Who wouldn't love to get one of those cards in the mail. ;)
I am relieved to hear that RBD will not be discontinuing all their gingham. The hat is really cute. Reminds me of all the matching hats I made years ago for my daughter and me.
