I've finally put the last stitches into my current cottage. I've switched this around from June to July as I used the red/white/blue July cottage for my June Jubilee spot. It was a bit tricky with the lettering but I think it's turned out ok.
Not a brilliant picture as it's too dark to take a nice photo so I used the scanner - quite a job with this size of fabric. I can't say that I love this cottage but I do like the strawberries and the overdyed thread colours are gorgeous again - doesn't really show up properly but they are beautiful in real life.
Moving straight along to the August cottage now :)
As a quick aside - my quilts have returned from their trip to be quilted and I can't tell you how wonderful the quilting is, absolutely stunning. I'll show some pics once I've got the binding stitched in place.
It's lovely Tree! I really like all the colours and I bet it looks gorgeous with all the other cottages :D

It's a beautiful tree! PS. So glad you'll be playing along with Nancy Drew. :O)

It looks smashing. You just squeezed the lettering in nicely.
Lovely strawberries and ladybirds too. They're my favourite bits of that design :)
