Jolly July

To recap:
Jolly July
It's a jolly holiday with your WIPs...you can concentrate on Christmas designs, ornaments, or even pick a different holiday to render in stitchy goodness.

I'm not sure how Jolly July was but it did end with a small stitching finish. I finished one of the Blackbird Designs stockings. I had started this one during March Madness.

I purchased this BBD booklet with a kit and I'm finding I don't care for the linen. When I get to stitching the other stockings, I'm going to change the linen to something else.

That's my Theme-a-licous update for July!

To see how everyone else did for Jolly July, see Heather's blog. I'm sure most had a better showing than I did!

Love it Jackie. I like the linen color. I think it looks good with the colors in the stocking. I like tea dyed linen though. Good luck on your changes.

Looks really pretty. It's always hard to find exactly the right color fabric I think.

Love your little stocking finish! They look like so much fun to stitch but I'm scared of the finishing! Sorry to hear about the linen...
