Floral 2019 SAL - June update #3

I finally got back to my stitching.  Tonight I finished backstitching the purple flower, green stem and leaf on the right side.  I just have the big pink flower in the bottom right corner to do and this block will be complete.

Floral 2019 SAL - June update #2

I stitched for about 2 hours this afternoon.  I managed to finish all the cross stitching on the purple flower and green stem on the right.  I also completed the yellow and purple butterfly (even the backstitching).  I hope to find some time to stitch over the weekend.

Floral 2019 SAL - June update #1

I stitched a bit more on the purple flower and finished the stem on the left.

Here is what the June block looks like when it is complete.

Happy Dance - May Floral block

I finally had time to do the backstitching on the May block, so now it is really finished.

The backstitching really makes the flowers and butterflies come to life.

Here is a photo of the whole project so far showing completed blocks from January to May.

This is what it will look like from January to August.
