Sail Away SAL COME JOIN US!

Attention all Shepherd's Bush Fans!

If you have the kit "Sail Away" and would like to join Terriboog and I in a Stitch-A-Long, we will be starting on August 5th, which happens to be Terri's 50th Birthday. (Isn't that great!)

Terri has a fabulous blog Chocolates for Breakfast; Stitching for Lunch, and you must all run over there and read it. She is highly entertaining, and such a doll! We've never met in person, but I know we would be close friends!

If you want to join us and you don't have the kit...then by all means, sprint over to your favorite needlework store and get it, or order online. We are giving you a little over a month to get your hot little fingers on it.

Neither one of us has ever hosted a SAL, so we really have no clue what we are doing, however, we both feel it would be fun to work on something with a group, so if you are interested then leave a post on either one of our blogs and we will get it set up. If you have already stitched this piece, then we welcome your suggestions.


Once again, that is a start of AUGUST 5th! I might make a little "gift" for all that join our group, so that might be your little incentive!

If you know anyone that might be interested, please pass the word along. The more the merrier!Aren't the colors gorgeous? I'm in silk heaven!

Oh Loraine, I wish I could join you on this one, but I've already stitched it! I'm sure that there will be some others that will want to jump on the bandwagon and stitch along with you and Terri. Maybe I'll stitch a SB piece just to get another one out of my stash!

Hi Loraine - I already read Terri's wonderful blog and must add your's to my list. Please check into mine when you have time.http://wooley-thoughts.blogspot.com/

I have this kit - bought on vacation last summer - made a tiny start on it but put away and never touched again - however I LOVE this - truly would love to finish and have hanging in my house. Please I would love to join your SAL? I CAN NOT believe Ms Terri will be 50 - she looks so young- just goes to show 50 IS THE NEW 30! LOL - Mel

Hi! I left a message with Terri also, and I thought I'd drop by here to (and read your blog!) to let you know I've got Sail Away--I barely started it, just got a couple of lines done and want badly to finish, so I'd love to join the SAL. What a great idea--it's such a lovely sampler and I've felt bad about letting it sit in the dark in its bag... You can reach me through my blog or ggregory@kslaw.com.

I wish i could join you but i don't have this design and we are going away for a while.
Looking forward to see your progress when we get back.

I am glad I followed a link from Terri's blog. You have such a lovely blog.

I'll enjoy watching your progress--it is such a cute design! I especially love the sentiment.

Anna Zont said...

Ah, what a miracle! I love "Sail Away"!!! What a pity that I have stitched it! :)
But I will enjoy to watch your process!

Hi Loraine!

I LOVE Sail Away and I'd love to join in with you all on the Sail Away SAL! I've had the kit for a while now and it's one of my favourite designs... Alas, I've just been procrastinating... And this is the perfect opportunity to stitch it! :)

You have such a lovely blog with loads of stitchy lovelies to admire!

Blessings in stitches...
