At the beginning of each month I will be stitching a little calendar piece, by Palkolp, in that month's birthstone colour. This idea was inspired by Jo's People's Choice SAL Birthstone posting and from her link to a website about birthstones.
May's birthstone is emerald:
Who first beholds the light of day
In Spring's sweet flower, month of May
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and loving wife

This looks great! I love the effect of the variegated thread!
OOh, this is pretty! I love how the colour changes go together with the...leaves? on the pattern.
This is so pretty. I've been FFO'ing ready for the weekend.
May looks great. I think that the beads on them makes them look good.
Beautiful shades of green, very pretty.
Completely beautiful! Green is my favorite color and I'm a May birthday, so this month's piece gets extra love from me.
Love this one! Gorgeous.
It's my month. Perfect! Love the green you used. I am a loving wife and am loved. Even by a stranger who sent me a wonderful birthday gift.
