Done, with days to spare!

Firstly, I just want to say 'well done' to all those finishers this month-some lovely pincushions out there!

Mine is slightly modified-my house is a little more modest, I decided to leave off the quote, and I didn't do any quilting. I enjoyed the needleturn applique, but think I prefer it when the pieces are on the larger size ;) I also loved the little hexies.

JUNE... Pinchushion

OK, with the threat of another pass looming, and the month drawing to a nearer end, I had a panic. and although I had dragged out the fabrics, the book and the tools last week, I finally go to it  yesterday I spent some time....so progress has begun...


My stitcheries are complete - yes I decided to stitch the little home instead of applique, and I have now joined almost all the hexis....that's tonight finish.

I am going to say  it may be late as I finally tracked down the walnut shells at Hatched and Patched and placed my order today. So once they arrive I can complete it.

But I have dragged out Next month's pattern and I am thinking of altering the stitchery...but I am thinking early!!!

June in time !

Done for June !
One more pincushion in Tilda fabrics :




As I don't have crushed walnuts shells (and I even don't know if we can find some in France...) I stuff it like a cushion :



A quick and cute project !

Because I love hexagons... in different sizes... I made two sides with hexagons.
You can imagine that I'm already excited about doing the next project...
Yippee... hexagons;o)


Happy Stitching my Dear SAL friends!!!
