July 2016

 My girlfriends, nearing the end of the month and I come with a free choice.

Thank you for your kind words in the comments on the last post. You surely know that such words please and motivate.

My choice is simple. I found it on Pinterest:

In today's dangerous world I wish you good luck and satisfaction!

July: Free Choice

My ornament for July is Dawn Lewis' 2001 Christmas Ornament.

It's been in my stash for awhile and I finally got it stitched.

A bit wonky but July's ornie is done ....

This was Finish #2 on my Road Trip to Roma stitching - you can read all about my trip to Outback Queensland on my main blog, starting with this post, if you are interested.  

I am not overly thrilled with how it has turned out - not the design's fault but mine!  I made an error somewhere near the start, didn't pick it up until it was way too late, so had to ditch the idea of a border and create this snow "hill" instead - now it is a bit of an odd shape - may have to make it a bell-shaped ornie, I think, when I Finish Finish it.  Although, some other interesting shapes have been suggested to me, as well.

I am so enjoying seeing what everyone else is stitching each month for the various themes.  Such beautiful stitching and such a great variety of ideas.

hugs, Kaye

Serendipitous Jo's July Ornie - Free Choice

I have decided to stitch the Christmas Cubes by Primitive Hare as my Christmas project this year.  I looked at the themes which Kaye had chosen for this year and all but two are covered by the Cubes.  Perfect!  It does mean that I will stitch the letters out of order but I can cope with that.

Here is Cube 5 - A:

This is exactly as charted apart from the substitution of B5200 for Blanc.  I wasn't looking forward to the large block of the house, but once I'd done the windows it was actually fairly quick, just filling inbetween the white.

Here are the five so far:
