Save the Stitches SAL

It's check in time for the SAL hosted by Avis and Claire

I said that I would finish the section I'd started and, much to my own amazement, I did!



There wasn't much metallic stitching in this area at all.



And here's the full sampler so far.



Every time I post this sampler, people ask me the size of the finished item, so I had a look at the instructions.  The answer is, I don't know!  The size of the fabric we were told to cut is 20" x 37", so I'm guessing it will be a bit smaller than that!

  5. Your sampler is looking magnificent, I love that some of the squares aren't totally filled in but have space around the central designs.
