SAL update No 7

Ah, one of my favourite days of the month. SAL day. Let’s crack on shall we?

Here’s where I was last time..

Here’s where I am now.

As promised, I’ve been working on the heart, and I’m pleased to say it’s finished!

Well, all apart from one square in the very middle. Yet again it’s a case of one colour that I can’t find anywhere else on my working pages. I was tempted to scour the rest of the pattern to find more of the same, but far too much effort and counting. I’m happy as it is for the moment. With all the detailing on the heart edging it’s like the heart jumps off the canvas at you. I’m constantly surprised and pleased at how the finished results come out for Big G.

I’ve also been working on the star and + sigh underneath as I had some time left over. It’s nice to see them filling up and actually taking shape.

Most of this work has been only a square or two, then I’ve had to find the colour elsewhere and work on that. This has meant that I’ve worked a tiny amount of background..

.. some cheek..

.. bits of frill..

.. and some middle swirls.

While I’m enjoying focussing on one section, I can feel that the majority of Big G will be like this. But it’s nice. Keeps me entertained. Even if it does make progress very sloooow.

As the list dictates, I’ll keep working on the star and + sign for next time. Some of you may have read that I’ll be on holiday(!) for next update, so I’ll be posting from beyond the grave.. No, not what I mean. From foreign lands? Much better. I’ll try and answer any comments while I’m away, but will have a big catch up when I’m home.

Now it’s time for my dutiful urge for you to go and have a look at the other projects on display. Go on, you know you want to. The gent and ladies have been doing some amazing stitching and deserve you time and wonder. Here’s the list. I’m also sending all my love and hopes for Susan who is poorly.

Avis,Claire, Gun, Carole, LucyAnn, Kate, Jess, Sue, Constanze, Debbierose, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Helen, Steph, Linda, Catherine, Wendy, Mary Margaret, Timothy

See you on the 4th June!

Much love xx
