Tuesday 1st July - Cover Story for June

June's stitching was to embellish the horizontal joins, and add the lettering.

This is Ang's

Her lettering is amazing! She's been adventurous with the embellishments too; the rick rack braid border is so clever. It's worth zooming in to be mystified how she did the fancy work.

Her flat gifts too... back when we started it was just 'a little something'; now it's like an early birthday 

I think she's made the bookmark on her machine perhaps. Also coriander seeds, and a needle threader quick unpick thingy, and a book of poems from the local hospice. I've got things to do and things to read!

Here's my stitching;

I used stem stitch, and added an extra ribbon to cover the white space that mysteriously appeared above it.

The next challenge will be finishing off... I've bought a new notebook specially!

Music
