SAL RULES

This will be a very loosely organized SAL.
--Participants may work at their own pace and choose charts in any order that suits their fancy.
--Participants may post photos at any stage in the process: WIP, Cross Stitch finish, Final finish.
--Since only retailers who attended the 2006 Indy market are authorized to distribute or kit these charts, all participants are asked to refrain from copying and/or sharing the charts with others. Those wishing to acquire the charts should inquire at their favorite LNS. I do know they are available [with an additonal purchase] as a CD-rom of all 41 charts from The Silver Needle in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
--Let's all have fun with this very generous gift from the participating designers.

Val's Stuff Train Depot Finished

I finished this over the long Columbus Day weekend. I am stitching all of my Town Square pieces on 28 ct linen over-dyed in compatible shades of blue. The first few were done on Silkweaver's Starquest. This was done on Zweigart's Meditation. I used the charted GAST and WDW fibers for this and made those changes in the chart detailed in the last post.

I believe that I will do the Clock Tower next. I am trying to do all the "public" buildings first [the post office, fire station, library, school house, church, town hall and a few others remain] and then I'll stitch some of the shops I'd be most likely to visit: the bookshop, the tea shop, the quilting and stitching related shops, the primitives and antique shops, the bakery and chocolate shops.

Finally ... I am back to this project

It seems no one has really had much time for this project ... not a single post since the end of June. But I have started one more of the pieces ... Val's Stuff's Train Depot. Typically, I have made some changes ... this time in the actual design instead of my usual switching out of fibers used. I thought the benches looked too small to fit in with the scale of the rest of the building and I didn't like the way the porch roof supports were charted, hence my changes.
