2013 SAL kick off !!!


I'm so glad to read your feedback for our SAL this year :D
Truly happy to see that everyone was happy with my suggestion!
We are going to have fuuuuuuuuun :D Let's start!!

Design to stitch:


Puppy love

Pattern can be found on...
... Cross Stitcher magazine, issue 208
... the book "The Best of Margaret Sherry"

How to stitch along the year:
. Stitch at your own rhythm but be sure you'll finish until the end of the year!
. Post your progress on the first week of each month (first posting will be on the first week of February) and add the label 'SAL#4' to your post
. You can choose if you want to stitch the full piece or only some of the dogs, feel free to do it as you please :)

I'll stitch the full piece and frame it, it will decorate my house's entryway, this lovable puppy will welcome everyone who enters the house ;)

Who's in:
. Nia
. Noni
. Svetlana
. Marcinha
. Verónica
. Heather

Main rule:
Have fun!!! Enjoy your stitching :D

I would love to join in this SAL. I haven't decided if I want all of the puppies and whether I want them separately yet ... but there is plenty of time to decide that. But I do have the book with the chart, so no excuses. I guess I'm not allowed to join other previous SALs as they are officially ended right? Also I'll probably won't have any progress by beginning of February (as I have in my mind set what I'm stitching this month ... and hopefully will have a finish but not MS), but will begin in February. Hope this is okay. And thanks again or your wonderful organisation.

So looking forward to this SAL. I ordered my threads this morning. I normally use DMC but converting from Anchor to DMC always isn't the same (Ok excuse for buying stash!!

♥ Nia said...

Lija it's ok, you can stitch at your own rhythm. If there's one month that you can't stitch, you can make more progress on the next month. Stitch as you can, there's no goal for each month :)
Thank you for joining and stitching with us :D
You can also join previous SALs, it's ok. Some stitchers haven't finished those yet :p

Heather I've sent emails but, once again, I'm happy to have you with us too! :D Have fun sweetie!!

Rita said...

well, if there is no deadline to each dog or to what we decid to stitch, i guess i can join! I'm telling this because i'm still missing 3 cats from last SAL!! But i'm almost done with santa from SAL#2! lol Count me in please Nia :)
Kisses!!;)

♥ Nia said...

Rita that's it sweetie! You have the whole year to stitch as you can, no goal set for each month :)
And no problem with the other SAL, you do as you can, it's ok! That's why I thought this way would be a good idea for everyone, we can set our own stitch time ;)
Have fun!! :D
