Smalls SAL 2015 - March update


The Smalls SAL 2015 is hosted by the lovely Heather, from Stitching Lotus. On the last Wednesday of every month you sign into the sign in post on her blog, here and link to your Smalls SAL post.

Basically, we....
"Stitch a small every month. You get to decide what a small is for you. 50×50 stitches? 100×100 stitches? It’s up to you."


My Small this month is Leona Adams by Blackbird Designs, which I have rechristened "Kaye Leslie" (my two given names) and further personalised by adding my date of birth (given it all away now, haven't I?).

This has been such a lovely design to stitch - gorgeous fabric and lovely muted colours.









Leona Adams
Blackbird Designs
28 ct Mocha Linen
Suggested (with a few variations) speciality threads.


I have also been working on another special project for myself using bits and pieces of this and a couple of other designs but you will have to wait until it is done to see what else I have been up to with this lovely design.

Now, don't forget to check out everyone else's Smalls - here.
