June 2024 Stats

My June statistics were not awe inspiring but I was slowed down a bit by Covid for 7 days.  

I had 8 new starts, 8 finishes, and 7 FFOs.

It's been a "berry" good month for stitching

 I'm a little late posting my June display, but I'm still working on a few more strawberry items that will be soon be added. 

Featured so far are some Stitching with the Housewives projects.

• Monthly Weigh-In: June
• Word Swap: Strawberry
• Stitching Seasons: Summer
• Roundabouts: Bloom & Tulip Time

It's been a "berry" good month.

Let's FFO some Stitching with the Housewives!

 

I finally got around to fully finishing the Stitching with the Housewives Monthly Weigh-In (June) and Word Swap: Strawberry in time to display them for a couple of weeks.  

Both of these items are from the Fat Quarter Shop clubs.

Monthly Weigh-in is stitched on 28 ct. tea-dyed monaco and uses the called for Classic Colorworks floss.  It is finished with Chelsea's checks fabric in red and black on the scale and seasonal shapes display pieces from Paisleys and Polka Dots.  

Word Swap Strawberries was stitched on DMC 28 ct. natural linen with DMC floss.

Finished Page 6 of the Hometown SAL in a flash.  Can't wait for the next page!

Wren & Snowdrops

 Just loved this little wren and snowdrops pattern from Love Poppet on Etsy! The stitch count is 62 x 65.   

 I stitched this on 32 ct. Water Spirit linen by Seraphim from Lindy Stitches with the called for DMC floss. I plan to make a small ornament for an upcoming smalls exchange.

It was a FFO kind of day

 I fully finished the Hands On Design projects that I stitched recently.  I even survived my first round finishes.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and were a lot of fun to stitch.  

I'll be stitching Gather Butterflies and Summer Folk for sure.

Hands on Design - Spring Folk

It's June and I'm so excited I finally got to stitch the Gather Blessings, Gather Wildflowers (trio), and Spring Folk charts.  I will most likely FFO them together.  I stitched them on 32 ct. Platinum Lugana instead of the linen using the called for DMC flosses and the Perle Cotton (Spring Folk).  

Here's Spring Folk.  I might backstitch the bunnies with something slightly darker to help them stand out better on the Platinum fabric.

I had to rip out the text on Gather Wildflowers because I didn't notice there was charting for 1/1 stitching.  I was going to leave it 2/2, but I just couldn't. I'll post after I re-stitch it.
