Here I am with my February Stitch from Stash update. My January report was done on the 23rd so I will go from there.
I have spent a grand total of £6.10 since then. £1.60 on 2 DMC threads that I had run out of then on Saturday I spent £4.50 in Dunhelm on half a metre of fabric to finish my sheep with.
From my stash I started The Little Stitcher 12 Days of Christmas 1, 2, 3 and 4 and I finished all but 4. I also started Cottage Garden Samplings My Garden Journal March's Daffodil, Little House Needleworks The North Wind, Little House Needleworks Little Sheep Virtues Gratitude and Joyfulness and something else that I can't show.
WIPs stitched on were Lone Elm Lane Snow Angel and The Snowflower Diaries Angela. Angela is almost finished. Just a few more stitches to add :)
I am very proud of myself for sticking to this not only because it's saving money but also because it means I get to stitch charts that have been wallowing in my stash!
I had my sewing machine out yesterday to sew up my first 3 12 Days and have a go with a sheep too. I have to stuff them yet and finish them off so will show those next time.
I have been meaning to post that I have the chart of Country Cottage Needleworks Silent Night to give away. Barb passed it on to me when she'd stitched it and now I'd like to pass it on to someone else. I would prefer it if you are a regular commenter. I'll pick a winner next week.
Finally thank you for visiting me and for all the lovely comments you leave. They brighten my days just knowing that there are friends out there who are interested in what I do and care. Bless you all.
With much love
Sally xxxx

Angel Angela is looking prettier & prettier! I really like this design :)
Great progress on all your stitching! I've yet to post my SAL ... sigh! Will try ... TRY ... to do so today : )
Lovely stitching as always! I saw the spring piece that goes with your Lone Elm Lane Snow Angel -- both are so wonderful!
Good job on trying to stay in budget for the challenge. It makes it hard when we run out of supplies we need while stitching something. But at least you are trying and not spending crazy...only what you need. This challenge is a great way to dig into what we already have and dust off the goodies waiting on us.
(By the way, I am not posting for your giveaway, I am not a regular commenter so it would be unfair for me to those that do.)
That little sheepie is darling. Snow Angel is coming along great!
Hi Sally! You are doing a great job with the challenge! Your stitching is amazing as ever. :-) I love the fabric you are using for miss Angela. I hope you are doing well.
Well done Sally, everyone seems to be doing so well with the S F S this year, do you think it helps knowing so many are using their own stash and are making changes to all sorts and 'looking ouside the box' for things to accommodate what they have?
I'd love to be entered for the Silent Night chart please, its so lovely, thanks.
love the spring stitching!
Great going with Stitch from Stash - it's great fun isn't it
You did a again wonderful stitching !!
Please count me in for Silent Night, I would love to stitch it and then pass it on to someone else.
Cant wait to see your first 3 of 12 days when you have them stuffed.
Congrats on staying within the budget this month. All lovely new starts.

Very sweet finishes, great progress and good for you on the spending. I haven't been so good....
Well done on your spend total, love your stitching.

Beautiful progress on all your projects. Lovely fabrics you've chosen for all the designs.
Wow, great progress on your stitching! I am also trying to stitch from my stash ha ha! It's hard to resist those wonderful designs from market...
Would love a chance for Silent Night, thank you!
Hugs,
Great progress and congratulations on sticking to your goals! I think Angela is my favorite, especially on that fabric. I would love to be considered for Silent Night.
Great job Sally! I too am trying to stitch from stash but it is difficult with all the new releases
Well done on your SFS challenge Sally. Your stitching is beautiful.
Thank you for showing your lovely stitching again, I really like the bright daffodils. Are you planning a big shopping spree at the end of stitching from stash? You should have a lovely nest egg saved as you are doing so marvelously well. Thanks for a sweet giveaway.
Great job stitching from stash!!! Your projects are looking great.
Great job on sticking with your SFS. Everything is lovely!
Lovely Wips Sally you have done some wonderful stitching . I love the top one and the angel one , hugs.
You have some lovely designs in your stash, Sally--it's so nice to see them come to life! I think I'm going to have to give in and purchase The Little Stitcher 12 Days chart--they are so adorable :)
I am so behind in my blog reading; I just read back, and back and back lol. Your blog is better than my book and omgoodness so many lovely stitching updates. I love the fabrics you are using. Very enabling. Please pass me by on the chart: better it goes to someone who will def. stitch it. At the moment I am so busy I wont but it is a lovely offer xx
Angela is coming along so nicely as are all your others. It's always great to see your steady progress.
Well done on sticking with the budget for SFS.
I loved your Silent Night finish and so please count me in for the giveaway and should I be lucky enough I'll pass it along
Good job on the SFS Challenge. I also needed some threads this month but that was it for me, too.
Great to see all your pieces together here.
You are doing very well on your stash budget. The WIPs you have are coming along wonderfully well. Looking forward to seeing your finishes.
Fun projects, and a great variety to be able to pick from depending on what you're in the mood for. I think my favorite is Daffadils, they are so bright and cheery, perfect antidote for this nasty winter we are having, it made me smile to see them.

Gorgeous stitching, I particularly love the last piece, that fabric is just beautiful and the design looks so pretty on it!
Beautiful stitching Sally - you are doing so well with your Stitch from Stash xx
I am loving those 12 days! Cute, cute, cute! You have been busily stitching away! Your snow angel piece is coming right along!
