Here is my SAL update on the Cut Thru Garden Shed cross stitch kit. Designer credits are here. If you need a reminder of how it’ll all turn out in the end, you’ll find a photo in this post.
Just a very short update today. There’s lots of other (nice) demands on my time lately.
This is where I was up to last time.
This is where I’m up to now. Can you find the new critters?
Here it is with the back stitched detail. I bet you can see the new animals now.
That’s two more pesky snails added this time. I’ve now reached the 75% mark, yey! Next time, we’re going underground.

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 sending me an email. The address is on the right of this page. I’ll send you a few simple rules to agree.

/ August 11, 2019I am always excited to see what’s new with your project…I am going to hate seeing this one finished for that very reason. Absolutely amazing fantastic project!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ August 12, 2019I’ll miss it too but it’s the 3rd one I’ve done from the Cut Thru series so far and I do have two more in my stash. Naughty, I know 🙂

/ August 12, 2019I wouldn’t be surprised to se you happy dancing next time around! This is looking great!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ August 12, 2019No, I’ll only be stitching one square as usual. That’ll take me a few days and then I’ll go onto something else for the remainder of the 3 weeks.
marymargaretripley
/ August 13, 2019That really is a detailed project Avis. Keeps you on your toes I bet! Yay for 75% done!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ August 27, 2019Yes, it feels good to be on the last row 🙂
teamwilsun
/ August 17, 2019How is it that snails look so oddly cute, and yet are so annoying in a garden? Well done on hitting the 75% mark!!!
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ August 27, 2019Exactly! They cause havoc and destruction everywhere.

/ August 21, 2019Oo I love those little critters, and well done on reaching 75%, it’s such a great project with so many things to spot! Jenny x
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ August 27, 2019I thought I would go really fast on along the bottom but it’s taken two weeks to get my square done for next time. Too much time spent outdoors in the lovely sunshine!

/ August 27, 2019It has been such nice weather, I say enjoy it while it lasts 🙂
