Anyone else finished yet? If nobody has replied by the end of the weekend, I'll go ahead and contact the magazine with the ones that are finished already...

I've sent an email with all the photos of finishes in to the magazine as the lass contacted me again about it.
Hi Sarah,

Sorry I took so long to get back to you! Anyway, here goes:

When I saw the photo of "I Stitch Therefore I Stash" in the "coming next issue" section of the magazine, I knew I was going to stitch it. Then I started thinking it was exactly the sort of thing some of my friends at The Cross Stitch Forum would also like and posted a thread asking if anyone would like to take part in a group SAL.

In the end, six of us completed the design and I believe another two or three are still stitching.

We all did something a little bit different with it, whether it was changing the colours, using silks or metallic threads, or multi-coloured beads, but they all turned out beautifully. Some of us have already decided how and where to display our finished pieces, some of us haven't yet, but we're all very proud of our samplers.

I also stitched the two smaller designs and used them as cards.

I hope you'll like them too.

(If you need any more info, please just say!)
Kell.

I've just heard from a Facebook pal that this SAL is in the latest issue of Cross Stitch Crazy!

I've not seen it yet, but will post pics as soon as I have them. :)

I know - I'm rather disappointed myself - I sent everyone's names and pictures of everyone's pieces. They've actually only used one line of my email too. I'm very miffed as from what she said, it was going to be a feature so I imagined one of those pages that they've done about other groups!

Just finally received my subs copy and flicked straight through to find this and flicked straight past it initially. How disappointing ... And they got the forum address wrong?!

Well done to Kell and Kerry T for making the magazine, and to everyone who completed this SAL. You all did brilliantly!!

I didn't even notice the incorrect address - now I'm TOTALLY gutted! I gave her a direct link to this thread when I initially contacted her, so all she had to do was copy and paste it. Grrrrrrr!
