As it's the last Friday of the month it's time to post my project for this month's Smalls SAL. Thank you once again to Heather of Stitching Lotus for continuing to run this fun little stitch along.
So, this month brings us to the halfway point of the year (already?!!!) and therefore the halfway point of my calendar. For June we had a family of cute tortoises:
Stitched on 16ct Nantucket from Sewitall.com 2 over 1
Stitch count 43 wide by 56 high
Started - 1st June 2017
Finished - 17th June 2017
Total stitching time - 7 hours
They were lovely to stitch, although I can't say I've ever come across tortoises this colour before, or wearing top-hats for that matter!
And another progress picture of the whole calendar:
As the months go past it's clear how the colours each month carry themselves through the whole calendar. Very subtle and very clever.
For July I'll be stitching some yummy looking strawberries so I guess we'll get another splash of red. See you then!

Your calendar looks so nice. It must be fun to stitch the months.
I just love your June piece! The calendar is looking great and I look forward to seeing July.
This has got to be the cutest calendar ever.
