July Mini Months - The Drawn Thread - FINISH

I'm pleased to be able to share my third finish of 2018.  This is the July Mini Months from The Drawn Thread.  It is charted with an American flag and fireworks in the background but as I live in the UK I chose to leave these off.  

It's stitched on 32 count Jobelan in Pixie Dust from Crafty Kitten.  I did use the Silk n Colors threads charted but subbed the others out with threads from my stash.

I do enjoy stitching these charts as although they are quite detailed and have some speciality stitches they do come together very quickly.

Keep stitching and smiling

March - Mini Months - The Drawn Thread

I started this project on 28th January and finished it on 1st February.  I subbed out all the charted colours with threads from my stash including Jodyri Designs and Classif Colorworks.  My plan is to stitch all 12 months and display them in some way that I can switch out each month.

I stitched March on Crafty Kitten's 32 count Jobelan in Pixie Dust.  This was a quick and fun stitch and I look forward to stitching the other months.

I love the satin stitches that make the roofs of the houses.

I love the speciality stitches used for the leaves.

I'm still not decided on how I'm going to finish these but I'm looking for inspiration wherever I can find it.

Keep stitching and smiling
