April Rabbit

I am slow but here is my rabbit. The stitching has been completed for a while, I just haven't had the time to finish him of. This design was a freebie from the chart shop. I just love him. i am working on my May design and maybe with luck I will caught up by the end of June. thanks for looking.

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.

May ornament

This is my finish of Pam Kellogg's Christmas Cardinal from the 2000 issue of JCS Ornaments. We have cardinals at our feeders, and one comes to visit in the mornings, so this is stitched in honor of her.

June Fruit

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

May ornament

Here is my May "Bird" ornament. The design is from мои творилки. I stitched on 16ct Twilight blue aida with my chosen DMC threads and attached some small white beads on the top.

Happy Stitching!

February's Ornament????

"Joy"

from Dimensions, Christmas Folk

28 count cream linen

Here it is, JUNE, and I'm only on February's Ornament. I do hope there's not a time limit. Although, I hope to have them all done by the end of the year. If that is not doable, then at least by the end of next year. I love this little rustic country ornament. It is usually not my style, but I have this cute little booklet of about 20 or so of these little cuties. I am going to do a bunch more. Again, this ornament is not a finished one, I will wait and finish them when a few more are stitched.

May Birds

Hello!
I was undecided about which chart was better for May Bird theme, so I've stitched both!


This is from an old JCS Ornament issue, and was created by Lori Markovic of La D Da


This is a Blackbird Designs one taken from the "Joyeux Noel" book!



See you in June!

Little May Bird

Here is my little contur bird.

Pattern from Anja Rieger Design

This is the "bird in a nest" ornament, a freebie available on the Waxing Moons Website.

Spring Bluebird by Waxing Moon Designs
Stitched over 1 on 18 ct. fabric with DMC threads

I finished it with a pretty piece of floral fabric on the back and a bit of store bought satin cording.

I'm Slow

I am getting a little slow-- need to catch up. April's Rabbit is stitched but not finished yet. I have everything together to stitch my bird for May but haven't started him yet. DH has been unwell and caring for him and work has taken up a lot of my time but I will catch up.

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.

May Bird

For a May theme, I stitched a bird, holding a stick with berries in her mouth. The work is made as a pinkeep and is fully completed with beads but the back side is made of felt. I took the design from Ann Benson's book "Beadpoint: Beautiful Bead Stitching on Canvas".

Pinecones

Here's my pinecone ornament.

Sweetheart Tree
Snowflakes in the Pines
Platinum Cashel linen

I used the DMC brown that the pattern used, the green that was one shade darker than the one used in the pattern, and the newer off-white, since the ecru just blended right in to the fabric.

LITTLE BIRD

I have chosen one NZ small native birds Yellow Breasted Tit.

The design is by Maree Garstang,  I have had the chart for many years and this is the second time I have stitched and this time it is for me.

 Stitched it on 35 count permin linen with DMC thread. 

Bunneh

This was my April ornament; I forgot to post it!

It's very, very tiny but I haven't made it into an actual ornament yet.
