March Smalls

The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread

This year my Smalls will be my JBW 12 Days of Christmas ornaments which I started on Boxing Day 2019 for the 12 Days of Stitchmas.  I completed the Third Day in March:

stitched 1 over 2 on 40 count white linen

I completed a Just Nan Small.  This one is Crystal Heart:

stitched on 32 count Lavender Murano

The next one in the line is Garden Maze.  I started really well with this but have hit a snag.  I stitch these smalls as travel projects - Library coffee mornings, work lunch breaks and volunteer lunch breaks.  None of those happen now!  So I will have to find some other way to fit them in to the rotation.

The last small is the cover kit from Cross Stitcher magazine which I still haven't added the beads to!

Finally, the lovely Clare from Aimetu's Stitching is asking for some help with her smalls.  Each year Clare decorates a tree for her church's Tree Festival with stitched ornaments.  I have donated ornaments in the past and this year she is asking us to join in again.  The theme is A Bouquet of Flowers.  All she needs is the stitched piece, she will fully-finish it for you.  Just leave a comment on Clare's blog to get involved.  This is the White Tree from last year:

  1. You have so many pretty smalls. The 12 days of Christmas is going to be another beauty. If you need more people for the Easter Blog Hop, I finally finished a piece I can show. Just let me know.

  3. It is lovely that we can still catch up with everyone no matter what is happening out there. I suspect that many of us will be finishing far more than we usually would. Your Just Nan design is especially pretty. x

  16. Lovely smalls, and keeping up with the 12 Days of Christmas too!
    If you haven't already, I expect you'll find ways of squeezing in virtual coffee mornings or lunch breaks in order to stitch for a few ad-hoc minutes. Your family will learn to understand! :)
