"June is Bustin' Out All Over"

The gardens are growing, and flowers blooming with all the rain we've had lately. The photos tell the story:

On the stitching front, I've sewn down the trims on my June block, and I've begun some roses on the trellis fabric......not much progress, but I hope to get in more stitching next week

I've almost finished my piece #5 for my wrapping cloth:

I extended some of the buttonhole lace and joined sections together, creating more pockets and 2 bridges.

 this lace extension joins the broderie anglais to the open edge of the fabric pocket

 I added one of the beautiful lace pieces Robin sent me to decorate the large pocket

Here's how the piece looks now........but there's a little more colour needed, don't you agree?











And now some news:
We've sold our wonderful lakeside home, and we'll be moving in a month to the nearest city. We're looking forward to new adventures and new opportunities.
Now, I probably won't be able to post as often, nor will I be able to visit you and comment as often as I'd like to do. I'll try to keep up with my Tuesday Stitchers blog posts.
There's only 4 weeks to sort, cull, and pack everything for the movers!
Gee, I miss you already!

Wishing you all time to stitch, sew or tat and warm sunshiny days.




Thanks for visiting.
