Smalls SAL_April (and March) 2020

The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread. 

On the last Friday of each month we post about the Small designs that we have stitched in that month.  Unfortunately, I never got around to posting last month, so this post covers both March and April.

So, Let's See, what Smalls have I finished since the end of February?

Well, to continue my obsession with our two cats - I stitched them as Christmas ornies:

Furio:

Milo:

Here are two pieces together:

The design is from one of the JCS Christmas Ornie mags but for the life of me I can't remember which one.  Once, I do, I will update for you.

I also stitched this sweet bunny for the Easter Treasure Blog Hop run by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching.

The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread. 

On the last Friday of each month we post about the Small designs that we have stitched in that month.

Let's See, what Smalls have I finished since the end of Jan?

First up is a freebie from Anne Les Petites Croix: Bonne Annee (Happy New Year) which I changed to Mon Amour (My love) for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog run by the wonderful Jo of Serendipitous Stitching.

  

I stitched it on a scrap of unknown green linen which I had in my stash and chose my own pinks and greens and added white beads instead of white crosses.

... and I even managed to FFO it! 

The fabric in the border is what I used to back it with, too.

My second fnish is Christmas Bullfinch by Punochka, which is the February Ornament for the JCS Stitch Along on FB.

My third Small is PS Santa 2005 - I love the fact that he is holding a quilt and sewing equipment - this is for my PS Santa SAL with my dear friend, Marie (no blog).

Lastly, here is the third of my "Snowman's Quaker Christmas".

It is a sweet design that I found through Carol from Stitching Dreams.  It is a freebie from Midnight Stitching that you can find here.

You can see Carol's gorgeous finish here.

And, just as a reminder, here are the two earlier colourways of this design that I stitched.  Which of the three is your favourite?

The second is in icy blues using a gorgeous Threadworx floss, using Carol's finish as inspiration.

So, all up, I have four Smalls Finishes for February - not too shabby (although not as good as last month's Smalls post with six!).

The Smalls SAL is hosted by Mary's Thread. 

On the last Friday of each month we post about the Small designs that we have stitched in that month.

For January, I have quite a few Smalls (of various Smallnesses) for you to view:

The first is called "Snowman's Quaker Christmas".

It is a sweet design that I found through Carol from Stitching Dreams.  It is a freebie from Midnight Stitching that you can find here.

You can see Carol's gorgeous finish here.

I have actually stitched it twice, the first is on Mocha fabric in traditional Christmas colours.

The second is in icy blues using a gorgeous Threadworx floss, using Carol's finish as inspiration.

 I have also started a third version (as I really love the design and playing with the colours) with a turquoise to yellow variegated floss of unknown origin.  Please visit my New Start Sunday blog to see this colourway.  I should have a finish for this by next month's Smalls post.

I also finished "Aussie Friends", which was a fundraising design for the Australian Bushfire Relief that you can read all about here.

... and here is "Falling" by Plum Street Samplers

... and two more Christmas finishes....

Moose Joy by Angel Stitchin' from the JCS Christmas Ornie mag 2019. 

... and "Be Joyful" by Tempting Tangles Designs

So, a very successful Smalls SAL for me in January with SIX finishes.
