June Smalls

    

The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread


This year my Smalls will be the Stoney Creek 12 Days of Christmas 2019 Ornament series which I started on Boxing Day 2020 for the 12 Days of Stitchmas.

June was Six Geese A'Laying, well only one goose actually:

stitched on 32 count Lime Green evenweave


I also added the backstitch to the Five Gold Rings from last month:


I added June to my Tiny Modernist Calendar:

stitched on 32 count Summer Sky Belfast linen from Silkweavers


And celebrated the Summer Solstice with Litha from The Primitive Hare:

stitched on 35 count Cream Linen



In May I completed my Just Nan-a-thon where I stitched on a different Just Nan Small each day.  In June I continued working on the oldest one which is Pansy Basket.

I started this one in May 2018 on Day 16:


Continued in 2019:


And 2020:


And 2021:


Isn't it strange how different the fabric looks each year?  Here is the completed piece ready for FFO'ing:

stitched on 28 count Rue Green Linen

The filigree basket charm makes it a little lumpy to scrapbook so I am going to get a frame for this one.


Finally, I'm going to be taking sign-ups for my Summer Blog Hop on the same theme as last year - Stitching Friends are Friends Who Count.  Have a look at this post for last year and let me know if you'd like to take part this year.

    Great smalls as usual! The goose is very sweet. Of course I love your Just Nan basket. I have not seen that one before. Or maybe I have but it looked different. Yes, the light is so tricky on fabrics. It's hard to tell what color it is half the time!

    Great smalls - that basket charm is so perfect! Did it come with the design, or did you get really lucky to find one that matched?

    Always such sweet smalls, I like how the houses are coming along. Your Summer Solstice is lovely too. The Pansy Basket will look nice in a frame, even as a little pillow.
    If I'm not too late, count me in for the summer hop, especially since I missed last year!
