Beautiful finishes, Mags and kimkat :applesauce: :applesauce:

Mags, hand-hemming is a true labour of love, and I really like the motifs you chose for the centre, they just complete the mat so well!

kimkat, I would never have thought you could get a ribbon rose into a coaster :shock: What a beautiful set they make.

And here is July! I based the colours on a fuchsia variety called Carmel Blue which I have (well, had!) in the garden. The threads are Anchor pearl #5 and stranded 1325, Caron Wildflowers 185 (Orchid) and DMC pearl #5 600 (the zingy fuchia horse shoes!) Beads are from stash and are sort of purply-pinky things.

I'm hoping the rest of the months will follow... briskly! :oops:

Thanks for all the kind comments! It spurred me on to stitch up August! Think of sunflowers, bronzy dahlias and chrysanthemums. The threads used here are Watercolours 76 (Woodland) and DMC #5 734 and Anchor #8 in 291, 308 and 208. All from stash, too, which I've been trying to do all along. What a difference between autumn and spring greens! Oh, and a confession: I wrapped the needle twice for the picots...!
