Thought I'd be just as well starting up my own SAL thread for the year...

I have a few small finishes so far from the Crazy January Challenge:

Snowflake Bookmark:


Quaker bookmark:


Oh B*gger Subversive Sampler:


2011 Band Sampler:


I'm thinking of making Oh B*gger into a cushion and I'll be hanging 2011 Band sampler as a bell pull hanging.

Great finishes Kell -- I'm not really subversive enough to do the new urban cross stitch but apart from the naughty word it looks very attractive !

I recently got a lovely little stitching box with a section in the lid for a stitched piece, so I designed a Quaker Alphabet Sampler for it. It's stitched on sand-coloured 28-count Quaker cloth in Threadworx 1089, 1 over 1.

Well, my Welcome Sampler is a similar design, but without the naughty word. I'm titching that one too.

I think maybe this is a British-only naughty word? I wasn't sure why it was called a subversive sampler at first

How brilliant

No, I think it's a pretty universal one. It's, well, this is a polite forum, so I don't really want to say, so I'll leave you with this link to the dictionary definition (HERE). It's a word I'm afraid I use a fair bit, although not within earshot of my toddler son - LOL!

[~threadbear~]

It's quite a calm one here too and definitely my most commonly used one - LOL!
