Jackie"s June and October ornie

Hello everyone.
Just wanted to post two ornaments I've finished.  I've been playing catchup all year, but really hope to get them all done.  So here are two more.

June (fruits)

October (pincone)

Hope you all like them.

Moving Right Along

I constructed this design using Quaker motifs from some Workbasket charts in my possession ... in keeping with my attempt to complete the entire SAL in the Quaker style. I am currently working on a design of a Fish using Quaker motifs as well. With any luck I shall have caught up to the October ornament by the end of the month.

June ornament

Here is my June "Fruit" ornament. It's not a "Fruit" stitch design but the finished shape is a strawberry, i.e. a "Fruit"! The design is from Aury's blog. Thanks Aury for sharing the pretty design! I stitched on 16ct Antique white aida with my chosen DMC threads.

Happy Stitching!

LEE'S JUNE PIECE

I have chosen  for the fruit for my June piece -a wreath of berries. This is a Danish Chart from Eva Rosenstand which I have had for many years and one I enjoy stitching. Have stitched it on 40 count permin linen using one strand of DMC eorked over 2 threads.

June Fruit

I stitched an apple for the June theme. It's a design of Russian company Riolis.

June Fruit

DS is at his band banquet, DH is on a camping trip, and after I went out to dinner with some friends, I came home to finish the stitching on my fruit themed ornament for June.

This is from the 1999 JCS Ornament issue; the designer is Theron Traditions/The Gentle Art.

I enjoyed stitching this one and it went pretty quickly.

My June Fruit

June Ornament

Hurray, my completed June Ornament! The design is from the Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs book. It's a small segment of Mother Nature inspirations.

Jill's June Ornament

Well, it seems I am running a little behind this month. I don't have the finishing done on my ornament, but I do have the stitching done.


This is the Strawberry Fob/Pinkeep pattern from Little Stitches. Instead of using the suggested DMC Flosses, I used 3 DMC Variations. I will be finishing this and then update this posting.

Okay, as promised, here is my finished ornament.

June Ornament

I have finished my June ornament. I came from 2007
Just Cross Stitch Ornament Magazine. (Gotta love
that magazine). It's from Cherished Stitches.
It's stitched on 28 count with DMC floss.
I really like the 3 sides to the ornament. I've had it
stitched up for about a week, but needed to put on
the tassel and take the pics.
Hard to believe that we are half way through the year!

May and June

I've certainly been negligent in posting on my blogs and here as well, but the urge is stonger to be doing other things right now -- stitching for one.

May/June Ornaments

Hi Everyone,

After being on holiday the first half of May then sick for the second half I got a bit behind. I have caught up and I have finished my May & June ornaments. Both designs are from the Christmas Miniatures Leaflet by The Prairie Schooler. Stitched on 27 count Linda Evenweave with DMC threads.

Happy Stitching, Sue in Australia.

Pineapple for June

Here's my June ornament. It's a freebie available as a PDF here, or go to the Rainbow Gallery's website and scroll down towards the bottom.

A Traditional Welcome by Erica Michaels
Stitched on a scrap of 14 count off-white Aida with the following substitutions:
S933 - DMC 743, S909 - DMC 728 , S971 - DMC 744
S847/848 - DMC 471 only, S848 - DMC 470, E899 - Ecru

You can't really see it well in the image, but the cross lines are couched down. I thought doing the couching was going to be really annoying, but it wasn't and it went quickly. The couching definitely gives the look of the little pineapple nubs more than I thought it would.
