I received the final part of the Easter SAL late yesterday afternoon. So....after finishing up our supper & dishes, I sat down to stitch. I had a goal in mind! Finish the final part of the SAL & also finish the book I was reading. I was able to accomplish both!!!
I stitched my SAL on a piece of 14 ct. aida, that I hand dyed myself. It is a much prettier green than the pictures show. I am very happy with the finish. This is my 21st finish for the year.
Earlier in the week, I stitched two different scissor fobs. I cannot show pictures yet, because it is for an exchange. I was not happy with the first one, so I stitched another one...it is better. I am going to send both to my exchange partner. If she wants to throw the first one away, I won't care, but I thought I would let her make the decision.
I was kind of in a stitching slump this week....don't know for sure why! I think part of it was that I pulled out a WIP of an airplane I am doing for my husband & I just can't get into it.....
Now, I am stitching something for my dad....we shall see how it works...
Have a great week & thanks for stopping by!!!!

Love your easter SAL. It came out beautiful. I have seen lots of pics of these in blogland. Where did you get the pattern??
Shari, it is so pretty. Well-done! :) Cathryn
Shari, your Easter SAL is gorgeous! You did a fabulous job dying your fabric too; I have not tried that yet.
Congrats on finishing the SAL! Lovely!! I finished mine too last night but will post a pic later as i want to finish it into something first, just don't know which kind of finishing.
A happy happy weekend!!
The SAL is gorgeous, Shari - so pretty! How are you going to finish if off?
Very cute finish!
Congratulations on your finish, Shari--the Easter SAL is very pretty. Love those little chicks :)
I don't think I could get in to stitching an airplane piece either. At this time of year, I really need bright, springy colors to stitch with.
Very cute! great job.
Beautiful job on your Easter sal piece!
I love your Easter SAL finish! So pretty. I also love that your dyed your own fabric. :)
So cute!!
I love the way your Easter SAL turned out. I was going to do it, but I knew I couldn't get it done, so I didn't try.
Seeing yours makes me wish I had put out the effort!
Love the Easter SAL - I don't think I've ever done any Easter stitching, just a couple of cards last year.
Bright and cheerful spring finish!
I love the Easter SAL piece!! Great stitching!
