Ornament of the Month 2020 - June

Welcome to the sixth Ornament of the Month for 2020! This month I again didn't use any beads for the pattern - and most of the backstitches are actually straight stitches, so it stitches up quite quickly. This month's colours of the month are light blue, white and cream. I didn't fancy stitching in white or cream so chose the light blue. I leant a bit more towards the teal as I wanted it to be different from the March light blue ornament.

This is the June ornament after I completed it.

A close up of the ornament- you can see the shiny stitching and the colours of the threads a little better here.

The threads and beads for this month all lined up. From left to right: DMC 518, coordinating craft thread for the cording and tassels, TOHO TR-11-183 Inside-Color Luster Crystal/Opaque Aqua Lined seed beads, and finally Kreinik 3506 #4 Very Fine Braid.

Here are all of the ornaments so far - a colourful bunch when laid out like this despite the darker colour of some of the ornaments.
