Today is reveal day for the Stitch and Stash SAL challenge. Now I must say that I didn't expect to have this finished to show but I finished the stitching up last night and made it up this morning. I love the design I chose and found it purely by chance.
By The Bay Needleart Courage
28 count pink fabric
GAST and DMC
Started 24th October
Finished 25th October
Finished as a bookmark
I loved stitching this piece even though I decided to stitch it over one and huge thanks to Donna of By The Bay Needleart for this design. It is so pretty and I have lost it to Abi! You can find the design here if you've not already seen it. I dedicate my finish to all the women who are fighting breast cancer ( including Susan's Mum Sheelagh) , to all those who are survivors ( my auntie and Lynn )and in memory of all those who lost their brave fight.
I decided I wanted to stitch something for Halloween. I don't really do Halloween but Chris gave me a link to Pattern Mart where there are a few freebie designs. You can fill in a survery and this chart is a free download at the moment for filling in the survey. It is Stacey Nash Primitives Hallow's Eve which I love so I made a start on it last night once I'd finished Courage. I'm not sure I'll actually get it finished in time but I am planning on maybe stitching a bit more this afternoon. Tonight is BBD Loose Feathers night so I won't be stitching on it then.
Have a wonderful Sunday! Not sure the weather is going to be good so stay warm, safe and dry.
Hugs
It is lovely, Sally! Congratulations on the finish :)
ReplyDeleteI love your finish, and thank you for sharing the link - I hadn't seen that freebie before
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely finish Sally.
ReplyDeleteYour finish is really pretty Sally! I love your SN start too.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish Sally
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your bookmark Sally! My, but I can't get over how quickly you stitched it up and finished it as well... And such lovely finishing! I do think I must be the slowest stitcher on the planet... make that the Universe! Nonetheless, I blame it all on my OCD... and my scatter-brained way of going about accomplishing things... lol Anyway, I want to stitch it up as well and wouldn't it make great gifts? I do declare but my list of *to be stitched straight away* projects keeps growing and growing! lol
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your start on Hallows Eve! I also downloaded the freebie from Pattern Mart and started it Friday night during the Let's Stitch SAT... Great minds! :-) Can't wait to see more of yours... I also worked on the ill-fated L*K wedding sampler so... I didn't get that much stitched... I'll be working on it today tho'! :-)
I hope you have a lovely cosy, peaceful stitchy day, Sweetie...
Sending you lots of Love and {{{Hugs}}} dear friend!
Thank you so much for the dedication to my Mum, Sally! Your finish is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect Sally.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous peice Sally...I love sheep too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely finish, and SeaStars all framed up in your earlier post was gorgeous. Sorry to hear Abi's been ill, hopefully she's feeling better soon. Your new start is looking quite cute, and I'll keep my fingers crossed your JCS issue is in the post tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteSally - what a great chart from By the Bay Needleart, and I love your finish - a great pink stitch. You've still got 4 days left to finish the Stacy Nash freebie, I'm sure you'll manage it :)

ReplyDeleteA gorgeous finish!!! I saw it on Donna's blog but didn't realize the Sally was you!!!
ReplyDeleteDonna at By the Bay posted your "Courage" finish on her blog but with no link. I'm so glad I did a little detective work to find you. Congratulations on a beautiful finish. I love the colors you used in this piece, you have made a good chart into a really wonderful bookmark!!
