Julie - A finish for me too

I'd like to thank you all for the encouragement during 2009 to finish this beautiful design, my first large quaker project. I am so thrilled with how it has turned out.

Thank you Hazel for setting up the SAL and inviting me to join, i know it would still be sitting in my 'to do' pile if it had not been for the SAL blog and seeing how beautiful all the different variations are. I'm looking forward to watching all the lovely upcoming finishes too.

I'm really pleased with the progress made this month, 5 motifs stitched in all, 3 larger and 2 small ones. I love the way the bordeaux thread brings the blue to life and am so pleased i didn't go with the white that i originally was going to use in the flowers.

I hope you are all pleased with your progress this month too.

Poor progress from Julie!

APRIL has passed me by with too many birthdays and lots of gardening. This month i hang my head in shame and am only able to show 1 motif stitched. Although, it is one that adds the contrast colour, so i can now see what the 'Bordeaux red' looks like with the blue.
I promise to do better next month :-)

MARCH

Just wanted to say well done to you all, lots of great progress again this month, the colours combinations are wonderful to see and its so nice to watch them grow and see how differently each of us stitches our way through the chart from different areas.

I managed to add 6 motifs this month, i love stitching on this, colour looks a bit washed out this time, must be the flash!

Well done ladies, they all look super

FEBRUARY It seems to have grown quite a bit this month, i'm really enjoying stitching it although i did have a visit from the frog on the 'SY' motif and had to rip most of it out and restitch!
