Bird Stitching Wrap Up and June Smalls Update...

Good Morning!
Today is the last Friday in June and it is the last day of the month, so lots of stuff to share...
Since it is the last Friday of the month, that means it is time for the Smalls SAL check-in...

It is also the last day of June and my bird stitch-along comes to an end...

So, up first, some pictures of new pieces that I started for my stitch-along, but haven't finished...
(All of the patterns featured here are by Fuzzy Fox Designs)

A very cute red capped robin...
(He is stitching up very quickly, but I've had a headache the last couple days, so I haven't been stitching for as long as I usually do.)

Pretty Quetzal

Cute, little Robin

And now, for the Smalls that I finished...

Blue bird ornament for Christmas

(The rest of the patterns are by Fuzzy Fox Designs on Etsy)

Two adorable geese
(they were stitched on my cotton candy inspired fabric)

Love my little, white parrot...

And, I finished my love penguins!

So, my bird stitch along was quite successful...
I started 17 bird pieces and finished 9 of them.
Not too shabby, if I do say so myself...
(I am planning another stitch along for the month of July with the theme "Pixel People".  If you are interested, you can find more information on my Instagram page.)

Well, I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend, filled with lots of little x's!

Bird Stitch-Along...

Good morning!
My bird stitch along is in full swing and I wanted to share the progress I have made so far...
(I've been working on a bird piece pretty much every day this month.  There were a couple days where I had to take a break, but for the most part, my month has been full of colorful birds.)

So, that is what I've been up to with my stitch-along...
...I think it is coming along very well and I am happy with the progress I've made.
Looking forward to seeing how much I get done before the end of the month.

I hope everyone had a terrific weekend and that everybody gets lots of stitching time this week.
