There seems to be enough interest in doing a smalls SAL that I say "let's do it!". There was lots of interest in Pinker & Punkin's salt box homes so let's start there.
On the Parade of Homes post, I counted 54 salt box houses. I don't know if there are others (didn't read the whole post) so there should be something for everyone there.
I haven't made any decisions on what I will stitch, nor have I made a plan. I'll probably just choose something each month and go with it.
I may start with Summer House. It's a larger one with LOTS of green grass. That probably isn't one I would plan on finishing in a month but if I stitched it and framed it and hung it on the wall behind a small table I have in the foyer, then put a dough bowl on the table with little house pillows, that might be kinda cute. I'm a long ways from deciding where to put finished houses! :)
What I'll do it a week or so before the end of the month, ask for anyone who wants to share finished projects or WIPS for the house SAL send me pictures and let me know what name (or none at all) you would like for me to use, I'll share those in a blog post.
Sound good?
Those Salt Box Houses are very tempting! It would take me the rest of my life and into the unknown to finish them all. But I might just have to pick one from each month. It's a hard choice. And I am a quilter not a cross-stitcher. I think I will wait and see what others decide and go from there. Thanks for offering a stitch along. I enjoy the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to try to do them all. I don't think I'd ever "need" that many stitches.
DeleteI have picked a couple charts to choose from, when do we start? Looking forward to fun!
ReplyDeleteStart any time. I set two up in Mark-Up today and may start one of the small ones tomorrow.
DeleteI'm doing the Freedom House....all things patriotic this year! Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteThat's mostly what I'm going to do too.
DeleteThank you for sharing the site. So many great charts. I just downloaded the Winter Saltbox. This will be a fun SAL. Thanks for suggesting this. 😊
