As there are 12 owls I decided to stitch each one in a colour that I feel relates to a month of the year. Unfortunately the colour I had picked out for June didn't show up on my fabric so I had to switch to a different colour I chose Indian Ringneck. I have to say this little owl caused me some real problems - first I stitched over half the outline and realised I had stitched it one column over from where it should have been so had to unpick it. Then I started the blackwork and realised that the thread I had chosen didn't show up against the fabric so I had to unpick that - which as I couldn't really see the thread against the fabric was very difficult! But now he's completed I love him and am thinking about doing some more blackwork as I really enjoyed it.
So here is owl number 6:
And all the owls so far:
Keep stitching and smiling

The are looking wonderful! I particularly love this last one.
These owls are so cute. I love the fact that you're choosing colors to match the month.
Lovely work! Sorry it had to be re-done, but it looks great.
Shame about the frogs but he does look sweet. I enjoy blackwork too. Even in multi-colours!
Nice choice this month :)
Lovely stitching, even if the frogs did visit you! I love them all! :)
Great owl finish for this month. I'm loving these little feathery friends. Interesting stitching techniques too, it looks really effective.
Well done stunner
