Here is August's Snap.
I love doing each part of this. The colours are much better in real life.
I have also had a go at some pulled thread work. It was a cover kit on a magazine many years ago. It is designed by Jane Greenoff and was on a copy of her own magazine - sadly it is not available anymore but it was one of the best mags ever published.
Here is the needlecase.
The flowers are worked in cross stitch, the edge is done in hemstitch and there is a pulled thread panel on it. My heart was in my mouth when I cut the threads but it didn't all unravel and it was suprisingly easy to weave the cut threads back into the fabric. I would love to try something like this again one day.
I have done a few hours work on Yiota's kit now and will post a pic soon for you.
Hope you enjoy your weekend.
Bye for now.
p.s. Thanks for all the lovely comments, it is so good to read them.

Your Snap project is looking really good, and I do like the pulled thread work on your pretty needle case.
I like the Snaps more and more each time I see it. Wonderful work on the pulled thread - I tried it once but it didn't turn out near as well as yours.
I do love the snap design and it's great the way you're working it by month.
The pulled thread work is gorgeous! Lovely to see it.
:)
I am amazed by all your projects. Congratulations!
You know, I have been thinking of learning pulled work for months now... Great minds? :)
