MJD's 2026 Summer Bucket List

This summer, I’m leaning into slower weekends down the shore, stitching projects tucked into my beach bag, and collecting canvases from needlepoint shops along the way.

Here’s a peek of everything on my list for this summer!

MJD’s Summer Bucket List

⛱️ Spend a weekend down the shore with a project in my beach bag. I’m so excited to explore more of the Jersey Shore this summer!

🪡 Finish the table numbers for my wedding in August. Stay tuned for the final reveal!

🧳 Find a needlepoint store while traveling and pick out a canvas as a souvenir. This is one of my favorite things to do when I travel!

✈️ Bring a small travel project on every single flight this summer. This keeps me off my phone and gives my brain a break.

🧵 Discover a new summer thread to become obsessed with. Tiny Starry thread is one of my current favorites!

I hope this inspired you to create your own summer bucket list! I’ll be chipping away at mine all summer and will share updates on social @morganjuliadesigns. Start your summer stitching with our MJD Summer favorites! Cheers to the summer season!

XO,
Morgan
