June Smalls Post....


Heather of Stitching Lotus is our wonderful host for the Smalls SAL,  I just love doing this SAL as I know I will have at least 1 ornament stitched to share.

This past month I was trying to decide what to stitch.  I thought I would work on SB O Little Town 2015 ornament.  I completed the stitching for this one but sadly not the finishing.  I hope to have that done to show you NEXT month.


Next, I wanted to stitch another sled ornament, but I did not READ very well the chart that I wanted to stitch did not FIT onto a sled.  So what did I do, but I just restitched another church sled as the threads were still kitted with the chart.  (How convenient!)  LOL  These stitch up SO QUICKLY that if you haven't tried them yet, I highly encourage you to do so!!!  (The only downside to it is that you must use 3 strands of floss to get the nice coverage but look at what a quick and easy finish they have!)


Lastly, I get to share my new Just Nan Pearl Angel.  (This would have been finished yesterday had someone not backed into my van bumper and dented it.  So I was on the phone with the insurance all afternoon and by evening, I only felt like surfing the web and see what new charts were coming out.)  So I finished stitching her today and framed her up.  This was the frame I had posted recently asking help in finding.  I was able to find 2 so the other will be for JN Lavender Angel.


That is all I have to share today.  I had hoped to have more smalls this month but we took a family vacation to Washington DC again to visit all the places we didn't have time for last year.

Happy Stitching!!!!

  1. Brenda, your finishes are all quite grand. I stitched up the trio from the Snow Country sleds during the month. Mine are in a pile waiting to be finished. Thinking of you!
