My July small for the Smalls SAL, run by Heather of Stitching Lotus.
This is a blackwork pattern called "Flowers and Poetry" by Hardcore StitchCorps on Etsy. I have this sitting in the bookcase that houses my shelf of poetry books.
The only change I made was to add the name of the poet: this quote is from Carl Sandburg's 38 definitions of poetry.
I'm very glad I got this done earlier this month, because between eye strain and a sciatica flare-up, I've gotten zero stitching done since last week. :(
Other smalls completed this month:
- The Sheep Peddler - Let Freedom Ring by Needle Bling Designs
- Joyful World SAL 'June' by The Snowflower Diaries
I also finish-finished my June small.
I got an 8x8 shadow box and some scrapbooking paper, and used some ribbon and pins I already had. This was my first attempt to mount stitching on foam board, and...well, I'll do better next time. :)

Your finish finished June small looks wonderful too.
I'm sorry to hear about your sciatica flare-up. Just had that once (34 years ago after my oldest son was born), but I'll never forget the pain. Hope you feel better very soon...
