It’s time for another SAL project update. I’m stitching the Woodland Sampler by Anchor. The design number is PCE958.
This is where I was up to last time. The squirrel was peeping at the next stage 🙂
This is where I’m at now. I’ve completed more of the sky, some overhanging leaves and a peacock butterfly. I’d hoped to have stitched the greenery along the bottom of this section for this update but it wasn’t to be. I’ll be working on that next.
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 August 2021.

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.

/ July 25, 2021The squirrel is very focussed on something, I am sure there is an acorn hiding in those oak leaves above the butterfly. xx

/ July 26, 2021You could be right. I haven’t checked. I do know the next animal to the right is a woodpecker.

/ July 25, 2021I had never heard of a peacock butterfly before and I had to google it. I was surprised to learn it is one of the most recognized. Not only is your project awesome and growing, I learned something 🙂

Sewing Beside the Sea
/ July 26, 2021I struggled this time. There’s so many other things competing for my attention but I prefer to be busy 🙂
