Hello everyone!
It’s time to share progress on my latest SAL project. It’s called Pansies by The Craft Collection.
This is where I was up to last time.
I finished the yellow and orange flower and I’m much happier with it than the original lilac coloured one. Then I completed the bottom two flowers. These were the ones that used to have the bubble gum pink petals which I didn’t like and ripped out. I changed them to purple and cream but after finishing only one flower I decided the cream wasn’t right either so frogged again LOL. I wish I had just a teeny weeny bit of artistic ability. It might’ve saved a lot of time!
I finally settled on more purple shades and I’m happy at last.
If I hadn’t done all the ripping and re-stitching I would’ve been Happy Dancing with a finish this time but I’ve still got a bit more to do. I’ll definitely be Happy Dancing next time because I’m more than ready to be finished this project!
Anyway, all I have left to stitch are the other two pansies near the top of the design that also had pink petals plus some back stitching. I’ve decided to go with Megan’s suggestion for the finish. It’s going to be a coffee table runner.
Please visit the other blogs that are also taking part in this SAL. There are so many different projects to enjoy. The participants live all over the world so you may need to allow for time differences. We’re posting today at local time.

About the SAL
Please note this SAL is not accepting any more new members until further notice but this is what it’s all about anyway. This SAL (Stitch Along) is slightly different to other SALs in that we don’t all stitch the same design at the same rate. We choose ONE unfinished project, or ONE new one, and show progress of its completion over a series of three weekly updates. There are no deadlines and no set amount to stitch. The result is that the space in our drawers full of WIPs (works in progress) is gradually being freed up to store lots of new crafty goodness. It’s surprising how much motivation I’ve gained from being in this SAL.
