Hello everyone,
It’s time to share my progress on the SAL project again. This design is by Ink Circles and it’s called Cirque des Triangles. Here’s where I was up to last time. 
Moving on down the right hand side this time.
Next time I hope to show the bottom left corner completed. That means you won’t see the top again until it’s all finished because I’ll need to roll the fabric around the frame.
Please take a look at how everyone else is progressing with their chosen SAL project. Just click on the names below and you’ll hop over to their blogs. We live all over the world so you may need to allow for time differences but we post local time, every third Sunday.
Claire, Gun, Carole, LucyAnn, Kate, Jess, Sue, Constanze, Debbierose, Christina, Susan, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Helen, Steph, Linda, Catherine, Wendy, Mary Margaret, Timothy
Our next updates will be posted on the 14th May 2017. See you then!
About the SAL
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. If you’d like to finish a project you’ve left unfinished for a while, or start a new one with us, you can join us by leaving a request in the comments below or sending me an email. The address is on the right of this page. I’ll send you a few simple rules to agree.

/ April 24, 2017I know it looks like a lot but there isn’t a lot of stitching in this piece really.

/ April 23, 2017Very pretty
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Thank you 🙂
katechiconi
/ April 23, 2017I’m still amazed at how different this gorgeous design is in your colour scheme compared with Claire’s. Both beautiful in their own way, but such a different effect.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017I know, me too 🙂
stitchingranny
/ April 23, 2017You are making rapid progress on this, will soon be done at this rate.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Yes, this one is so much easier than your current project.
Debbierose
/ April 23, 2017Avis, the colour and design are lovely. Its amazing that a colour difference can make a pattern look so different. You and Clarie are progressing nicely.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017I’m looking forward to seeing Claire’s circle one and this one together as they are stitched in the same fabric and colour. My two are complete opposites.

/ April 23, 2017I’m really enjoying this design. So relaxing, don’t you think?
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Yes, I’ve lost many an hour, stitching with an audio book on and forgetting what time it is.
craftycreeky
/ April 23, 2017Love these designs and the colours you are both using
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Thank you 🙂

Sewing Beside the Sea

thecraftersapprentice
/ April 23, 2017Wow, that’s a lot of stitching – well done!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017It’s surprisingly not a lot of work because of no thread changes.
kathyreeves
/ April 23, 2017Avis, this piece is absolutely restful. Every time I look at it, I think of summer vacation! Excellent progress again!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017It’s the colours of a tropical sea, very unlike the freezing cold North Sea next to me brrrr!
kathyreeves
/ April 24, 2017I’m feeling that North Sea air today! They are calling for snow all week😳!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Oh no! I love to see snow outside but don’t enjoy those temperatures. Wrap up warm 🙂
rutigt
/ April 23, 2017If Claires´ embroidery is hot and dancing, your embroidery is winter and elegance. So great!!!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Haha! You hit the nail on the head 🙂
rutigt
/ April 25, 2017🙂
Christina
/ April 23, 2017Beautiful progress! The design is very interesting to look at.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Thanks. I’m enjoying stitching it.
Catherine
/ April 23, 2017This is looking fabulous! You are making such wonderful progress with it. I can see why you were so drawn to this design – the pattern is amazing!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Simple but very effective I think.
Ginny @ Mytimestitching .com
/ April 23, 2017You are making great progress. It is so beautiful. The colors are so gorgeous. The whole think makes me swoon 🙂
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Ah that’s good 🙂 I’m enjoying it too.
wickedstitcher
/ April 23, 2017Ahhhhh!!!! I love this piece and I have no idea why. Lol the more I see of it the more it need to be added into the rotation of projects.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017I like this one too but Cirque des Coeurs is my favourite from this series. You’d be able to stitch one of these up in no time at all compared to the project you are doing for the SAL.
Cindy
/ April 23, 2017Nice progress. Love your colors.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Thank you. I’m very happy with it so far.
Carole
/ April 23, 2017It’s growing nicely. I love all the different shapes and sizes of triangle. It makes it so interesting to look at, don’t you think?
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017Yes I do and it’s easy to stitch. Fun, fun, fun…
lbick
/ April 24, 2017Looks great. I bet your excited to start rolling the frame 😀
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 24, 2017I am. Each triangle is like starting a new mini project as well.
Rebekah Marie Bannister
/ April 25, 2017The design really changes as each triangle is added. The symmetry is certainly satisfying!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 25, 2017Yes, I love the symmetry too 🙂
marymargaretripley
/ April 25, 2017Very pretty Avis! Can’t wait to see what it looks like in 3 weeks 🙂
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 28, 2017It’s stitching up very fast 🙂
magpiesue
/ April 26, 2017This looks so lovely Avis. How big will this be when complete?
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ April 28, 2017Thank you. It’ll be about 18 x 13 inches.
