It's been quite enjoyable sitting and doing some hand stitching. I have now done June's flower of the month block.
Stitches used in this one are: stem stitch, back stitch, and french knots, using three strands of DMC thread.July is already a work in progress, so hopefully it should join the others in the completed pile very soon.

Lovely, I am looking forward to seeing them all come together.
I remember similar stiched roses from my chilhood. I like the freshness of the colors.
Well done
Reminds me so much of my mother; she would sew/stitch everynight until her eyesight became too poor for her to continue.
Very pretty
Good to see the blocks still going strong. This one is lovely.
Good job getting caught up with these! They're going to be lovely all put together! :0)
That is gorgeous. You are doing a fabulous job.
Halfway through!
Very pretty.I think now you should show all of them together.Are u doing it all on one fabric?
So pretty. I love the colors.
Deepa, all of them are stitched on fine calico. I cut 12 pieces right at the start so I would end up having them all stitched on the same fabric. I will soon have to decide on fabric for making it up
Lovely, as usual...I can't wait to see the finished product. You do such beautiful handwork.
Lovely, what will July flower be I wonder!
Your needlework is so beautiful. I love the vintage feel of these flowers.
