Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I notice that in the next issue of Cross Stitch Crazy (out on 11th May) there is a lovely sampler that says "I stitch therefore I stash" and wondered if anyone else would be up for a group SAL with it?

There's plenty of scope for substitution of colours for your favourites and adding embellishments if you wanted, so everyone's could potentially end up looking very different. And I'll bet that we could all get featured in the mag when we're done too. Prizes all round? LOL!

I am already playing catch up to the little heart SAL and then doing the ATC and the Biscornu. Plus I have to start my Bless this home and I will probably start the one for my aunt soon. So I have too much on my plate...but I love this design!!!

It's not out till 11th May and I guess we can start whenever you like after you get the mag.

I just saw the design and thought, "Ooh, I like that!" and then thought, "Hang on, I bet loads of stitchers would love that - and I know loads of stitchers on the forum!"

I'll probably not be able to get the mag until later on in the month, but as soon as I get it I'll be having a sort through what fabric and colours I fancy for it. I've already kind of got an idea in my head of what fabric I might like to use if I don't go for aida, but I'd have to have a think about the colour scheme...

Of course I'm in! I'll have to keep a look out for this magazine... I always get them way after everyone else has moved onto the next... But better late than never right?

It is very pretty, however, i am going to be doing the ones from WOXS which say ""craft room"" and stitcher at work"" so i shall be passing on this but hopefully have fun watching it come together and maybe seeing it in print

oooh i might just do this one

I like the idea of doing a SAL of this, and I will definitely buy a copy of the magazine when it comes out, but I might have to see at the time if I can actually fit it in! I have two birthday presents to stitch so they have to take priority, as they have deadlines attached to them! Depending how far I've got through them I would love to either join in on the group SAL or jump in later, or just do it separately

What a perfect sampler for a stitcher!!!!!

I wonder how big this design is going to be... I assume not too big, but the pic is throwing my judgement off.. I want it to be small enough to fit on my stitch bag....

Looking at the picture that shows the two smaller designs taken from the larger one, it doesn't look to be a huge design. It's next to a card in the picture:

that made me smile!

It's the same kind of wait for magazines over here as well, but I am totally keen to join in when it comes out!!

definately gonna join in as decided i need a break from all the dark colours ive been using

Oooh, I can hardly wait to start and to see what everyone does with it!

Looks like fun to start SAL for this one but I have to pass it since it is definitely difficult to get a copy of latest xs mag in malaysia as well as china. I usually buy the back dated copies from my regular used magazine/back dated vendors. If i can get the latest copy it cost more and very expensive..nevertheless, looking forwrad for everyone's progress on this one...happy stitching!!

i got this mag today! will have to get the bits together for it now...

I'm going to pick up my copy tomorrow hopefully and get started asap - looking forward to seeing what everyone does with it.
