People's Choice SAL - Books

Hello all!

It's the first Saturday of the month so time for the People's Choice SAL run by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching. Continued thanks to Jo for hosting this unique SAL which has a different theme each month.

This month's theme is Books.

I love books but mainly children's books, which is handy for my job in Infant and Junior school libraries! My love of books seems to have (sort of) transferred to my love of stitching and I've often combined the two both with and without realising.

When I saw the theme of Books for this month I could have gone down the route of filling this post with numerous Harry Potter designs, but I've deliberately not included any as they have often appeared elsewhere.

Instead I am going to show designs containing books.

My only book finish is one of my favourite all time pieces; sometimes small and sweet is better:

Sleepy Book by Lili Of The Valley

And these are my top book-related WIPs:

Bookworm Fairy by Heaven And Earth Designs

(possibly never to be stitched on again, never say never)

Haunted Library by Mill Hill

(I really must return to this one but goodness knows when!)

Mouse Reading Book and Mouse With Pile Of Books

by CutePatternsByMaria

(I really must return to these too but, again, I have no idea when)

My stash includes a couple of charts by Heaven and Earth Designs which I am unlikely to ever stitch but I thought I'd show them anyway, because I still love the designs.

Story Keeper

So Many Books, So Little Time

(perhaps this is also a reflection of So Much Stash So Little Time!)

Two of my Tokyo Olympic New Starts also contain books. One was my second start and one will be my final start tomorrow. I won't show the first one again, but keep an eye out for the second one on Monday.

Next month's theme is Sewing.

Take care,
