Friday finishes

I have at last finished my June and July
 CQJP2013 use this for a link 
Most of the stitches used are from Sharon at pintangle link here
June used a variety of stitches relating to chain stitch.
Basque, tulip, zigzag chain, zigzag detached chain, crested chain, 2 attempts at buttonholed double chain.  
 
close up
July the stitch theme chosen was cretan with a few others thrown in. I actually designed some of the seams on paper and I think that has produced a better design. The stitches are starting to improve as well.
cretan, laced cretan, ........  star, detached chain and french knots to decorate between the cretan stitches.



Top laced cretan right  2 rows of cretan, left star.
I am trying to link this to Pippa's Patch  we just share the same name blog here
She is hosting  "TGIFF" with a prize from  sewsweetness. 





Fingers crossed this has only taken me 2 hours to write........

    Very nice stitches! I like that you used different colours on the same seam.
