SALS - Progress and A Finish

I have been stitching on three different SALs and keeping up with them! (Maybe I should not mention that I have other SALs from previous years that have become UFOs!) All three have been so enjoyable and all three so different.

The first is a progress photo of Carol R's Mystery SAL. This is a photo after finishing Part 6. I printed out Part 7 today, and the more that is stitched the prettier this becomes. The last part will be released November 5, and I can't wait to see what that will look like!

Second is a finish of my SAL Guimauve et Violette found on the French blog Talons Aiguilles. I just love this! I used the recommended DMC colors and just happened to have the perfect color and shape button in my stash.

I'm working on the Autumn part of my Seasons 2011 SAL, and also some Halloween stitching that I hope to share soon.

Have an enjoyable weekend!

Oh, aren't they pretty--love the colors! I particularly love the french design and the fact that you had the perfect button!

Love those pretty colors. I'm doing Carol's too. I'll almost be sorry to see it end. It's fun to see what she comes up with at each installment.
