Link-up For Fully Finished Gallery SAL - February 2024

Hello all!

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

The link-up for this SAL opens on the 10th of each month and stays open for 10 days so you can join in whenever you're ready.

For February I have a trio of finishes. These are three dolphins from LaSelvaDesign on etsy which I stitched at the end of 2023 and had intended to FFO using this fabric:

However, I changed my mind and finished them as a trio of hanging cards.

I sandwiched the dolphins between two pieces of card (the front obviously having an aperture cut into it!) and with a piece of 2oz wadding behind, and strung them together with pieces of ribbon. I then used washi tape around the edges and in the corners of the card to hide the joins. I can't tell you how happy I am at how they turned out. For size reference, each card is 10cmx10cm:

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 remain open for 10 days, closing at 6am UK time on 20th February.

Japan (Mount Fuji) Bauble - finished!

Hi all!

After the success of showing three Small finishes in the Smalls SAL post, I'm back with another one!

This was the final of the four pieces started for Mischievous March last year.

Here's how I left it after 3h 30m of work:

... and here it is completed:

Japan (Mount Fuji) Bauble by 1000sPatterns (etsy)

Stitched on 16ct Cloud Spring Sky aida

Started - 4th March 2024

Finished - 31st January 2025

Total stitching time - 10 hours 5 minutes

It is supposed to have a bauble top but I just wanted it to be a circle so left it out and adjusted the pattern to compensate. Considering how small it is (39 x 38) I love how this turned out. Now to add this to my Box Of Shame whilst working out how to fully-finish it.

In the meantime I need to find another WIP to finish...

Take care,

Rachel x
