Tiny Treasures was designed by Liz Almond and the chart is a free download from Blackwork Journey. This is where I was up to last time.
I haven’t done as much for this update but I’m pleased it’s coming along. Here’s where I’m up to now.
There’s a tiny bit of the border hiding. It’s rolled under the frame on the right hand side.
I’ve been busy doing loads of jobs outside in the garden recently and there’s still lots to do. It’s good to be out in the fresh air but it doesn’t leave much time for stitching. The daylight hours are getting shorter so there’ll be more time for crafting soon. Maybe I should get some quilt tops out to quilt. It’s a while since I’ve done that and it’s a nice cold evening activity.
Please check out what everyone else has been up to by clicking their names below. We live all over the world so you may need to allow for time differences. Posting takes place every third Sunday, local time. Our next updates will be posted on the 15th November 2020.

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.

/ October 25, 2020You may not have done a lot of stitching lately but it is coming along beautifully. Long dark nights will have us all crafting again.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 25, 2020Oh I’m still crafting but the garden takes priority on dry days. The knitting is coming along as well 🙂

/ October 25, 2020This is looks so pretty. The changing seasons sometime encroach on our stitching and sometimes give us more time. I like the idea of working on some hand-quilting.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 25, 2020I’ve only ever done machine quilting. I’d love to try hand quilting but I just don’t have the time. There’s a link to my quilting blog on the right of this page if you want to see what I get up to but I haven’t posted for a long time.

hettyanddaisy
/ October 25, 2020I love all the detailed stitches (and have visited the site – lots of lovely designs). Dark cold nights = Lots of stitching.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 25, 2020Haha! Yes, lots of stitching until I get called by the knitting. That’s my go-to cold night project.

AJ
/ October 25, 2020It is looking so beautiful! I love the black and purple together! I am finding my window for stitching is getting shorter as it gets darker so much earlier
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 25, 2020Yes, it’s getting dark really early and I’m not good at stitching in electric light.
AJ
/ October 25, 2020Neither am I!

Christina
/ October 27, 2020Your stitchy progress looks good considering you’ve also been busy in the garden! I need to get out there myself and clean the flower beds up and mulch them for the winter.
Sewing Beside the Sea
/ October 27, 2020Yeah, we had to put up a new fence. The actual gardening is still calling. There’s all winter to get it put straight 😉

Sewing Beside the Sea
