Who's up for a SAL?

SAL

SAL means "stitch-a-long", a group of stitchers working on the same pattern at the same time and sharing their progress with each other :)

SAL

Not everyone can buy cross stitch kits so I thought we could pick some chart from the Cross Stitcher magazine. Joanita suggested the cooking cats from issue 222, they're cute and can be applied in kitchen towels, apron, recipe book, postcards, frame,... just use your imagination ;)

We could make this two ways:

A) stitch all six cats, one per month, from February to July. We stitch the same cat on the same month. During this time we post photos from our wips and our finished stitching (just the stitching). To close, in August, we will all post our finished pieces and see our everyone did :)

B) stitch only three from the six cats, each one would pick their favorites. Equally, stitch one per month from February to April, posting here which one we are stitching and showing our progress. To close, the same thing, we will all post our finished pieces in May.

Which way do you prefer? Let's vote! :)
It's open to everyone!!! Even if you're not an author on the blog, you can join us ;)

I'm in! I like both suggestions, but we must choose, then line up at B, because my list of graphics for embroidery is already quite extensive. * Ü * Ana

I've never done this before, but it sounds fun! As long as I can get the charts, I'm up for "B".
