Short and sweet this time…
It’s time to show you another update on the Highlands Landscape. Here’s where I was up to last time.
I continued stitching along the bottom from the left hand side as usual. Plenty of lovely purples in this bit.
Ooh! More purples and sheep.
This is where I’m up to now.
The sheep will have some back stitched detail which I’ll do at the end with all the rest.

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.

Sharon
/ February 16, 2020You really moved along quick quickly on this picture. Do I see a finish for next posting? Love this! It’s really beautiful 🙂
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ February 16, 2020No, I’ve finished 4 rows of 7 so there’s still a way to go. Looking at the picture so far, it could probably be framed now but I’m happy to finish it. There’s more sheep and thistles in the foreground.
Pyros & Patch

Carmela
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ February 16, 2020Yes, at last we can see them. I’ve just started on a much larger sheep in the foreground. Your sampler is so pretty and delicate. Love it!

Sewing Beside the Sea

Connie Butner
/ February 16, 2020I can’t believe how much you got done! I also thought this was almost finished when I was looking at it. It’s so beautiful!! I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ February 16, 2020I think it would look fine framed as it is but, as it happens, there’s another 3/7 to go 🙂
Jocelyn Thurston
/ February 16, 2020Oh aren’t those purples so pretty. It really is a lovely landscape you’ve stitched there. And so close to finished too. Thanks as always for hosting us, Avis.
Sewing Beside the Sea

Renee
/ February 16, 2020This is such a beautiful piece. You’ve made amazing progress! Absolutely lovely.
Sewing Beside the Sea

magpiesue
/ February 16, 2020My goodness, it looks like it could be finished already! (except for back stitching of course) It’s beautiful.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ February 16, 2020If I wasn’t enjoying stitching it, I could be persuaded to frame it now but I’m loving it so I’ll do the rest 🙂
AJ

anne54
/ February 18, 2020It looks beautiful. The blue gives the piece such intensity after the subtle colours of the mountains and heather. (I seem to have missed this SAL…I will get onto it today!)
