Thank you all for your kind words - I am rather pleased with the results.

Anne, I learnt by doing Mabel's first hardanger SAL Song of the Weather (SOTW) SAL in 2013. Her instructions are very clear and most helpful. There is a new one starting on Jan 1st called Round in Circles and the sign up is open now. Look on page 1 of Stitch-a-Long on the index page and it is about halfway down the page. It is lots of fun and Mabel has assured us that the first 1 or 2 of the series will be very newbie aimed.

What beautiful work you have done Sally, they are all gorgeous. Well done. I particularly like the Sweetheart Tree. Won't people be thrilled with the exquisite gifts you give them, all done in your beautiful handcrafting.

The coasters are beautiful!! You have done a perfect job stitching them and getting them into the coasters. I remember being very worried about that last year when I made coasters for Xmas presents. Love them and the card.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I feel really pleased with the way they have turned out and Mabel's instructions were excellent.

When I posted the pics I forgot to say that apart from the Sweetheart Tree one all the others are Mabel's designs, either Happy Hour or Kaleidoscope chart packs with mostly my added borders. I did use Mabel's long arm cross stitch (quite a challenge too ) on the yellow one with the daisies.

You are amazing Mabel with the designs you think up for us and your clear instructions. Thank you so very much.

They are wonderful!!!!!

I agree Mabel's instructions are pretty idiot proof, given I can do them!!!

These are the gift for my little sister who will be 70 in May. I will take them over to Christchurch (NZ) with us in mid April.
They have taken far too long to do, most of them well over a week each and one or two of them have been frogged frequently
to the detriment of the linen.

So now you know where I have been, buried under Sweetheart Treer Teenie Tiny 1V motif in various DMC cottons - as the mood took me.
Must get onto Mabel's March SAL next - but not today. Maybe a small easy jig saw puzzle to relax with

Sally, they are beautiful.
I'm sure she will love them (and if not, send them to me

)

wendywombat · Post by **wendywombat** » Mon Mar 28, 2016 10:23 am

Totally wonderful!

I said, Totally Wonderful!

Love them! Your sister will love them too!!

So pretty and delicate!

You are a clever Squirrel!

They are beautiful!! Your sister is going to adore them. And I love that we both chose Hardanger designs as gifts for special birthdays for our baby sisters. I love the floral designs you chose for yours. So delicate! Will be hard to use as coasters, I'm sure.

Jigsaw puzzle sounds like a good way to clear and refresh your mind before moving on to your next project.
