Topsy Turvy SAL - Summer (month two)

 

The theme of summer is for February and March so plenty of summer stitching. Last month I worked on my tablecloth and managed to do the edging up to summer. 

This month I have started to stitch Lizzie Kate's summer challenge. I have a bag of threads left over from kits so am using those up, it's great fun deciding which colour to use where.


It's great fun deciding which colour to use for which symbol of the chart. It doesn't seem to be reducing my threads bag though so I might start using these threads for other projects. I have the DMC colour chart so maybe I can work out which numbers they are, although I think one card is Anchor thread. 

This is my stitching so far, I can share my photo as because it's a double month stitch the Summer Gallery is already open in the Facebook group and at Needlecraft Haven. 

I'll be making this into an ornament ready to hang on my tree for summer celebrations. Happy summer stitching.
