January Smalls SAL

 

Mary is hosting the Smalls SAL again this year. This is a great excuse to make sure you stitch up something small each month. So you will at least have 12 finishes by the end of the year. I started this SAL several years ago and used it as an excuse to stitch up a small piece each month that celebrates the month all year long. 

Head over to the check in post for this month to see what others have stitched up this time. We are to make a post on the last Friday of the month to share what we've done for the SAL.

This year I'm stitching Hands on Design's A Year of Celebrations. Here is what the chart looks like...

I'm stitching them on 32ct lambswool evenweave using the suggested DMC threads. Here is my finished January piece...

So far so good. It was a lot of fun to stitch and took less than half the time of last year's monthly set so that's nice. 

See ya Sunday for a WIPocalypse update. Have a great weekend!

Congrats on your January finish, and good luck with stitching the whole set. Having enjoyed Faith stitching them last year it'll be lovely to see them all over again! :)

January looks great! If I was stitching February I think I might throw a snowball in it, we've had our fair share!

I love how your January turned out and that is a great color of fabric for this set! Congrats on the finish.
