Hello everyone!
It’s time to share progress on my latest SAL project. It’s called Pansies by The Craft Collection and it’s finished 
.
This is where I was up to last time.
I returned to the 2nd group of flowers and filled in the petals I’d unpicked as well as finishing the remaining back stitching.
I took the fabric off the frame for the above photo and then put it on my table upstairs, ready for turning it into a table runner. I then got on with some knitting and completely forgot about it hahaha. Out of sight, out of mind, that’s me! I only remembered I hadn’t made up the runner last night. Oh well, I promise to get it done and show you next time.
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.
Avis, Claire, Gun, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Jackie, Sunny, Megan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, Cathie, Linda, MaryMargaret, Cindy
Our next updates will be posted on the 9th June 2024.
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.
