Finally Fully Finishing for June

     

Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher


This SAL is designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed.  We will all be linking up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month).

We continue the trend of "just one thing to show" with a charity shop frame for my Just Nan Lily Pond sampler:


The backing fabric is a sample from a book which was donated to our local church.  I use the samplers as backings for ornament or framed pieces if they are suitable.


Finally I am making good progress with my Just Nan Super Summer SAL.  This is Tea with Honey.  



stitched on 28 count Dusky Pink linen

Then I added the white Perle to the top, it adds a nice texture to the piece.

Tea and Honey is looking lovely, Jo! Just Nan pieces always incorporate such soft pretty colors. Lovely finished piece of Lily Pond, too. Hope your June is going well ♥

What a lovely find at the thrift store...such a beautiful frame for such a pretty piece! Your Super Summer SAL is looking fabulous! I love how you used different fibers to make a more textured look! Well done!

That's a stunning frame. Your charity shop must be a lot nicer than mine! Beautiful stitching.

One is still good; I haven't done much better than that this year either!
The frame complements Lily Pond very well. Thanks for taking part! :)
