Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - October 2024

Hello!

It's already another 10th of the month so time for the Fully Finished Gallery SAL, the place to show your cross stitched FFOing achievements since your last link-up.



I may not be stitching etc at the moment but at least this SAL is keeping me on my toes regarding FFOing, even if it is only the tiniest of contributions!

This month is another Nordic Christmas Sampler, completed the same as last month's simple ornie with complimentary backing fabric and silver bling ribbon:



I guess you'll see the third one next month!


Now it's your turn.

Please link-up using the URL of your FFG SAL post and not the home page of your blog, adding a thumbnail of a finish and either your name or your blog name as the caption. The link-up will stay open for 10 days.

Smalls SAL - September 2024

Hi all!

It's the last Friday of the month, so time for the Smalls SAL.

Entries can be anything Small you have cross stitched during the month, be it an individual piece, part of a set, a portion of a big design, or even an unfinished Small if you haven't been able to complete it. All Smalls, or part(s) thereof, are welcome!



I have nothing Small this month; I haven't actually picked up a needle since I finished last month's Small. Tell a lie... I have picked up a needle once but it was to get a thorn out of a finger, so I don't think that quite counts!

So it's straight over to you; I hope you've been far more successful than me!

Please link up using the URL of your Smalls SAL post, with a title (usually your name) and a thumbnail. The link will stay open for 10 days.

Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - September 2024

Hello!

It's the 10th of the month (again!) so time for the Fully Finished Gallery SAL, the place to show your cross stitched FFOing achievements since your last link-up.



Having spent four months FFOing my four Teeny Weeny US National Parks, I had to find something different this month so I turned to Christmas!

This is the first of the Nordic Christmas Samplers I completed at the beginning of the year. I already had some matching Nordic fabrics to use on the back, but wasn't quite sure how I was going to finish the front. I opted to keep it simple by just sticking it onto a piece of card and then edging it with silver bling ribbon:



I assume the other two Nordic Christmas Samplers I have stitched will be FFOd in a similar manner, so you'll probably guess what to expect in October and November!


Now it's your turn.

Please link-up using the URL of your FFG SAL post and not the home page of your blog, adding a thumbnail of a finish and either your name or your blog name as the caption. The link-up will stay open for 10 days.

Smalls SAL - August 2024

Hi all!

It's the last Friday of the month, so time for the Smalls SAL.

Entries can be anything Small you have cross stitched during the month, be it an individual piece, part of a set, a portion of a big design, or even an unfinished Small if you haven't been able to complete it. All Smalls, or part(s) thereof, are welcome!



This month I actually have a finish! It's the front of the April Biscornu shown last month as a WIP. And it's literally hot off the press as it was finished yesterday (although as I finished it I noticed a tiny error in scroll in the top left which needs fixing).

Started 27th March 2024
Finished 29th August 2024
Total stitching time - 8 hours


I do love how these colours remind me of some of the first flowers of spring.


Now it's over to you.

Seeing as the fronts of both the March and April Biscornu have been stitched, I suppose I ought to think about the backs, so one of those will probably be my next project. I guess you'll find out which one it is next month!

Take care,

Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - August 2024

Hello!

It's the 10th of the month so time for the Fully Finished Gallery SAL, the place to show your cross stitched FFOing achievements since your last link-up.



Not to break the cycle, this month's FFO is another, and the final, of my US National Parks by TeenyWeenyXStich on etsy. Hot Springs has been FFOd exactly the same as the others, except for the shape of the park, which I can't find, so will have to add later.



Now it's your turn.
