Second half of SAL#2 Christmas ;)

Hello ladies, it is me again…

The second half of SAL#2 Christmas is finished !  I made the snowman on Evenweave 20 count too (4 stitches per 1 cm), but chosen the fabric in red. Therefore I changed the color of the hat to green (which I like), otherwise it becomes invisible. How do you like it?

Wait a while....when it is finished, I will write a story with pictures. And I may make a tutorial, so keep an eye on my blog.

With regards ,

I added a 'pompom' :-)

First half of SAL#2 Christmas is ready

Hello ladies, I´m here again....

The first half of SAL#2 Christmas is ready! Now I will start with part 2 - the snowman. As soon as both are finished, I will make towel holders.

I stitch these on Evenwave 20 count (4 stitches per 1 cm), this is on purpose, so that they appear big - for a nicer end result.

With regards ,

Hi . . .

Hello everyone!

A big thank you to Nia for letting me join this wonderful Blog and here is my first contribution . . .

Archie Bear 'Chocolate makes my Clothes Shrink!'

stitched on 28~count natural linen with my choice of DMC threads

My favourite colours are burgundys and creams so Archie's jumper is stitched to match my kitchen colours and I finished it into a small bag which is known, on past occasions, to have the odd bar or two of chocolate inside it (just in case of emergency, you know!)


I'm working on a small Halloween design at the moment which will be part of a giveaway on my blog once it's completed.

Thanks for stopping by
HAPPY STITCHING

SAL 1

My first SAL is ready. I framed Santa in a little stitching hoop and hang it in my christmastree. The tree is still a little bit empty. So there is a lot of work to be done before Christmas.

Hello ladies,

It is the first time I write here, but I read your fanblog for a while and admire your works. I applied for a SAL, so I can show you mine.

In the past I stitched multiple patterns of Margaret Sherry. Funny cats and mice, I even participated in a Round Robin with my own theme. You can guess... works of MS. Unfortunately the RR is not back home and I don´t know what the other RR stitchers made for me, so I can´t show you anything yet.

With regards from the Netherlands,

I'm just seeing the pretty Jolanda's hedgehog on previous post and I would like to show you two finishes I stitched some months ago.
Both charts are from Cross Stitcher and both are presents for two of my cross-stitchers friends.

Hedgehog

 

The first step are crossstitches only. You can hardly see that it's a hedgehog.

After adding backstitches!

 

The finished card. I also used a coordinating stamp. I made this card  nearly a year ago for my sisters birthday.

DMC threads for SAL #2

Hello ladies :)

For those who want to stitch our SAL with DMC threads, here it is the conversion:

Anchor	DMC
002 006 046 047 238 258 295 403 1009 1037 236	white 353 666 321 703 904 726 310 3770 3756 413

I used CyberStitchers Conversion but there's no Anchor 413 and I've been looking in other pages too.. nothing!
Does anyone have this Anchor color? Can you show us a picture of the thread?
Thank you!! :)

EDITED: Problem solved! This color was for another chart on the next page of the magazine! Thank you Becky :)

My First Post - Spike In Charge

Hello everyone! I've been browsing around the Margaret Sherry Lovers blog quite a bit the past month, but this is my first post. The pattern is Margaret Sherry's Spike in Charge. I stitched this, and my boyfriend helped select and pay for the framing. We gave the finished piece to a close friend as her graduation present when she completed her four year nursing degree.



Thanks for looking!

SAL #2

So, who's up for some Christmas stitching? :D
Following your suggestions, Christmas is the theme for our second SAL :)

Two cuties from Cross Stitcher Magazine Issue 233 :) Easy to stitch and you can finish like the picture or into a postcard, an ornament, as you wish!

I'm very curious to see the different ways each one will finish!!
The deadline is the end of November 2011, is that ok for everyone? :)

Are you in??? :D
Just leave a comment on this post so I can take note ;)

next SAL :)

Quick post just to let you know that I will post about our next SAL later tonight ;)
Work is calling so I can't do it right now but I will be back later!
