2024 SAL - Insolitum

Although I was pulled in another direction there was plenty of opportunity to download the files for later and reminders that the files would be gone soon. It is a beautiful project that I will finish this year.

I am really enjoying stitching this pattern. The best part is that this SAL is fabulous because everything stitched is in a frame. A very clever design for an SAL and not very daunting too!

In 2020, I came across a FB post with a Peppermint Purple stitched piece, looked at the website and signed up for the newsletter that spring. In reading a newsletter, the free Stitch A Long (SAL) was mentioned, so I took a look - after stitching for 40 years, I had never done a SAL nor blackwork! I was intrigued with the design, and ended up stitching two different color schemes (one Christmas, one Mardi Gras since I am from Louisiana). I have been so impressed not only with the Peppermint Purple designs, but the level of service from the designer is impeccable. Anyone who purchases these designs will love them and be able to use them for many years to come!

So many beautiful designs! Winter is coming which means more time to stitch.

This is my first time doing stitch work/blackwork/SAL and what an awesome way to learn and the patterns are so much fun to do. Never a dull moment with Clare's work. Will do the SAL every year! It keeps me busy the whole year, what a bargain.
