For me, this is the pursuit of any pastime that uplifts my spirit. Mostly in creative pursuits such as, patchwork, quilting, cross stitching, embroidery and dressmaking. I also enjoy gardening, painting, reading, decorating, & cooking. Some other aspects of life's journey, may be shared on occasions. We moved back home to Australia in February 2018

Monthly Cross Stitch Challenge.
This is my choice for the ODW Challenge for June, something fury. The chart is a freebie from, The Little Stitcher. A small stitched piece, easily completed for me as a not so fast stitcher, within the specified 24 hour period..
Below is the May ODW challenge piece, which I thought was going to be just the inside strawberries. When completed, it seemed to be lost in the background linen, 32ct Belfast. I decided to stitch the rest of the pattern early in June, the white rose border to add some light to the design. Instead of a small jam bottle cover, it is now a much larger piece. I found a lovely piece of patchwork fabric on line called "Strawberries & Roses, so that will be incorporated in the final makeup, yet to be decided.
I love the delicate strawberry finish, and the bunny, too, of course! Can't resist any bunny stitching :) Hope your July is off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteThat bunny is adorable!
