The People Chose Dragonflies

This SAL is all about what you want to see on the blog.  Each month I ask for suggestions for themes and then put them up to the members of the IHSW Group on FB to vote for their choice.  This is what they have chosen:

June - Dragonflies

July - The Designer You Have Stitched the Most
August - Freedom

Usually when I start typing one of these posts, I put the key word into the search box and find some relevant posts on my blog.  I found hundreds for Dragonflies and then realised why:

Needles, Pins and Dragonflies

The lovely Gracie has a blog with the word "Dragonflies" in the title!  So do pop over and visit her today to be in keeping with the theme.

So I tried the singular "Dragonfly" and this lovely project came up:

Dragonfly Summer by Just Nan

Unfortunately, I did not have a dragonfly charm so I replaced it with a butterfly.

Scrapbooked with Butterfly Lace:

Just Nan have two more Dragonfly themed projects which I don't have:

Gilden Dragonfly Scissor Purse - Limited Edition from 2008

Miss Kitty's Dragons

I do have this design in my magazine stash: 

Joan Elliott's Dragonfly Fairy

She was part of the Garden Fairies series which also included Ladybird Fairy, Lavender Fairy, Butterfly Fairy,  Sweetpea Fairy and Snowdrop Fairy

Now it's over to you.  All you have to do is make a post on the theme of Dragonflies, mention The People's Choice SAL (you can copy the picture I used at the top of this post and in my side bar) and my blog. Please link up using the URL of the actual blog post, not the home page of your blog. I look forward to seeing what you all post.

Next month is going to be a little bit different.  I realised that The People's Choice in July is going to be a special numbered post for me, so I thought we should do something special!  The theme is going to be

"The Designer You Have Stitched the Most"

Which may or may not be your favourite designer!  Have a look through your WIPs and finishes and find out whose work you turn to more than any other designer.  Should be interesting reading and a theme everyone can take part in too.


Finally, I need your suggestions for the next poll. Any thing, no matter how obscure, weird or random will go into the poll. Keep the theme suggestions to a single word or two - so you could have Cats, or Blue, or Holidays, or Warmth etc. Really anything which could be illustrated in cross stitch.

Looking forward to reading them all!
