♥♥♥♥♥♥

not 3, not 4, but 5 SAL updates, haha. I did complete this month's charts for all my SAL and only got the time to post it today. I'm really really busy. We might move to a new flat so I will be MIA for quite some time. Hope to still see everyone around.

Anyhoo, here are my updates.

First off is MSAL- Old Italian Sampler. This month's part is the final chart. The mystery unfolded. It turned out so lovely as expected. I will surely miss the excitement and the wait each month to see each part coming along. I'm still debating whether to frame it or finish into something else, uggh, no clue yet.




My SALexandre Stitcher's Wallet is so far going well. I've completed the first inside chart. It took me three nights to finish it up. Oh boy, 3 long nights, did I have a tough time stitching it? you bet! This chart is more intricate than the previous ones. Besides that, Mr frog visited me so many times that I wanted to just throw the whole piece away and start all over again. You know how hard it is to rip on over 1. But I didn't do that as I don't have enough fabric, so I cannot just put that piece to waste. I was like rip-stitch, rip-stitch robot, arrrghhh! It really tested my patience. I wanted to complete it as scheduled as I know next chart will be out this week. So I was right, new chart's posted and ready for download. Alright, vent over, hehe, here's the pic,

The lower part was originally blank so you can put whatever pleases you, mine was "Stitcher's TREASURES".

June Zooms it is for the BCSAL-2003 Snappers. I like this block, perhaps because I like travelling a lot. As you can see we are halfway through, wow, I'm excited. A real fun to stitch.


So how does your garden grow? Mine is looking great. I like this Papillon-MSAL so much, up to the point that I just want to stitch it first before my other SAL. It actually serves as a boost, and when it's done, carry on with the others. My favorite, if I may say so.


Lastly, my EMS Rose Sampler SAL is so far looking great. This is really lovely. I've been happily stitching it. Can't wait for the next chart.


That's all for now. Hope you don't get tired reading my post. Got to email/post some of my progress photos to the SAL's sites. Thanks everyone. Have a nice and safe week.

Love the timeless look of Italian Sampler. The elegance of the SALexandre. The brilliant colors of garden grow flowers and the crisp natural look of the EMS piece. You have been busy, but they all are worth the effort. =)

((hugs)) Get well soon!!
