Description
This is made on 18 ct aida and finished as a biscornu as I don't have enough of the antique white to make all 4 as ornaments this month and I didn't want one made with a different fabric. I however always test my patterns out myself and I'm glad I did as the original backstitching I had planned for this looked horrid once stitched.This year over on the Nerd Central Command International Headquarters I'm hosting a monthly ornament stitch along as I really want more hand made ornaments for my tree. I had the idea to also make a garland out of them that's made in such a way that the different sections can be added or removed, swapped around and made any length desired. I did that by adding loops that are long enough to go over the ornament so you can thread one loop through another loop, pull the ornament through and adjust to make sure the loops are even.
This month there are 4(!) patterns.
Size: 2 1/4 inch along each side.
Fabric: 18ct white Aida
Colours used: 600, 3804 and 3806
Beads: pink iridescent beads Mattsma gave me.

These June patterns are so pretty! Need to catch up! I'm in the middle of April as we speak.
Okay, so I'm feeling stupid but every time I try to click to get the pattern, I don't see any but the picture of the four and your blog. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
There is a download link at the bottom of the post if all is well - it looks something like this: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91… just click the arrow to the right and you can download the pattern

Thank you! I did eventually find it - my sleep-deprived brain just had a lot of issues that first time around!
I've actually finished stitching April and am halfway thru May. If things don't go too crazy, I may have all four of June's done by the end of July!

mebbe - I think this pink is definitively due to the birthstones though

true, but I think you had commented about how you aren't denying the need for pink in a pattern as much as you used to

Perhaps.. but I still cringe when I have to use it and always look for an alternative where possible...
