SAL: East West Sampler Update #6

Update time once again and I don’t have too much to report on. It has been a busy last three weeks for me. Some beautiful weather calling me to the garden, a mini trip from Washington State to North Carolina to see my daughter and family, and adopting a new fur baby but….. I did get a bit of X stitch in on my East West sampler.

At our last posting I shared this picture. I had added the mini hearts, green zig zag and blue line.

Here is what I accomplished this time.

I am hoping during this next 3 week period I will be making some better progress. I have the proportions of that tiny started row wrong and I will be reevaluating and possibly frogging it. Honestly I have the placement of the red and blue star wrong as well. I was thinking, in the days of primitive sampler creators, they didn’t have written directions to follow so I am keeping it there and will move across the bottom with it. I am also planning on aging this when completed, either by tea or coffee dying it. It’s a WIP and I am having fun!

Thank you so much for visiting with me today. Now I am off to begin checking in with the others in this SAL. Won’t you join me by clicking on the links below

About the SAL

Please note this SAL is not accepting any more new members until further notice but this is what it’s all about anyway. This SAL (Stitch Along) is slightly different to other SALs in that we don’t all stitch the same design at the same rate. We choose ONE unfinished project, or ONE new one, and show progress of its completion over a series of three weekly updates. There are no deadlines and no set amount to stitch. The result is that the space in our drawers full of WIPs (works in progress) is gradually being freed up to store lots of new crafty goodness. It’s surprising how much motivation I’ve gained from being in this SAL.
