I was born in May so my birthstone is Emerald. It was fun looking up the meaning and other information on it. Kind of like horoscopes and zodiac I think it's neat how most the time it really matches. It talked a lot about how it stands for fun, loving love, being a mother, and loving nature. So true for me. My son was born in April so his birthstone is Diamond but he has always loved green. It's his favorite color.
I've never really stitched anything specially about my birthstone. But I'm pretty sure I've stitching green things since it's Jeremiah's favorite color. Let's take a quick look back...
Do you remember those M Design trees you could get with names in the design? I stitched Jeremiah's name in 2007...
So even though I haven't stitched anything specially for Emerald I seem to stitch a lot of green.
Look at this HAED that is calling my name. There are 4 different colors available. One is purple but look at this cutie in greens...
See ya on the first Saturday next month for the next check in. The theme is Dragons. Hmm wonder if I can come up with anything for that post.

Love this post, even more so because you've delved a l-o-n-g way into your back catalogue to find some pieces to share. I'm not so keen on the Squid, but Rules For Life should definitely come back out to play now that you've shown it... it's ONLY one more to add into your current WIPs (and would be a great companion for You Are Loved in your cabin!) And, it might be really cute but I WILL NOT be tempted into following the Lil DragonZ link! :)
The Squid will look awesome finished on that fabric! I do hope you will put The Squid, Rules and Jeremiah's name back in your rotation. I love them all. I think that I hear that baby dragon calling your name too!
I love green too! Not a birth month, but we got married in May.
Great squid, that will look so cool when it's done.
Oh my, 2012, I thought I had some oldies! That's a good one too.
Jeremiah's tree looks great, I bet if you had a new sewing machine it would be finished in a jiffy!
And the dragon, so adorable.
This is a really interesting theme for this month. Great projects that you have been doing in different greens.
Great fabric for Mr Squid, that's going to be lovely.
Lots of green things you have worked on, I think we all did one of those name trees, I did one for my mum.
Ooooh....that dragon is gorgeous! It's going to look fabulous no matter what colour you choose.
I love the tree!AriadnefromGreece!
Glad you joined the sal and share with us all those lovely works, Jeremiah's tree is gorgeous. I "may" share Emerald birthstone with you! Amitiés xxx
Beautiful stitching, Katie, as always. I do not stitch lately due to the luck of time, but soon I will start stitching again. Just wanted to tell you a hello, my dear lady, and to inform you that there is a birthday candly on my blog in you want to enter. Kisses, my friend.
A great post. That tree with Jeremiah's name hidden in it is so clever x
Thanks for taking part in the SAL this month. I love the way you have interpreted the theme and shown a wonderful range of emerald green designs. Especially that adorable little dragon. He can make an appearance again next month!
May is a great month. I remember those tree designs; the "rejoice" one was popular I think. I didn't realize names could be had though; how neat!
Somehow I think you might be able to find something in your stash related to dragons. Maybe even finished. I have full confidence in you ahaha :D
