June CQJP

 I finally finished my June CQJP........only a day late. We had some power outtages and connection problems due to storms, so I had to wait before posting this.






the before
a stitched star, a metal star, and a sparkly star sticky
silver snowflake trim
a bead trail on lace
and a silver seam treatment......playing with the cable chain stitch, I came up with a figure 8 cable chain........

















maybe it's clearer here
and my finished June CQJP!



















Here comes July!

















Hope you're all having some stitchy fun.

Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz

    Thank you Anita! I thought the figure 8 cable chain worked out well. If you want to know how I did it, I'm happy to share. Just let me know.

    Why, thank you, Fox! I was 'copying' the snowflake in the green fabric.
    Hope you're keeping cool in this heat wave!

    You're moving right along Susan - it looks wonderful! This will be a fabulous monthly record to look back on when the year is over; what treasure you'll have.

    this is a lovely christmassy themed piece and you have made good use of the Tast stitches.

    I am so excited for you with your wonderful family coming. I know you will spoil the baby to bits. Hope to see your blog filled with photos of them.

    a great block, love the different snowflakes and now you are inventing new stitches whatever next I wonder.
    I wonder what size your blocks are? being a learner need all the help and advice I can get.

    Have a great time with all the family

    Thank you, Jillayne. My plan is to make a wall hanging and maybe also a table runner of the Christmas blocks, so I'll have a yearly reminder of my challenge as we decorate the house for the Christmas season.
    Hope you're having a wonderful summer.

    Thanks, Shirley. I'm excited, too, and can't wait for them to arrive! August 9 is when they arrive in Toronto! Yay! You can bet I'll be taking lots of pics. The only ones I have are computer pics, and I have a pretty little brag book to fill with real photos! Just a month now.......

    Hey Margaret, thank you. I probably didn't invent that stitch. No doubt Sharron will be assigning it under an already-known name.
    My blocks are ~ 7 1/2 inches square.
    Happy stitching!

    The snowflake trim echoos the snowflakes in the green fabric perfectly, very pretty!

    Thanks Marjolein. That was the idea, but I think you're the only one who mentioned it! Good eye!
