I love that series -- brings back some memories. It was the first project I
did with such dense stitching. I stitched the right and left parts in the
beginning of 1988, and was halfway through the larger middle piece when my
apartment building burned down. The finished pieces were deep in a pile of
stash fabric and WIPs (WsIP? what's the proper plural?) and thus were
salvageable after a few washes and trimming of damaged fabric. The
unfinished piece was in the living room, which was a total loss. It took me
a year to get back the nerve to start the middle piece over, but I did. If
you look carefully at the framed pieces now, the middle is a lighter
background color and brighter colors. Makes a great conversation piece!

I think BH&G put it out in either leaflet or book form. The magazine is
defunct, but was owned by Meredith Corporation, which is still in existence.

your stitching it all as one piece but I forgot what it was.

The "secret" was in the magazine, as I recall. It better be, because I was
planning on stitching it as one piece!

The only "secret" I know of is making sure you start the border
stitching in the center segment, if you choose to stitch the borders.
The all-one-piece stitch count is not evenly divisible by the repeat
count.

Mine is pictured in my PictureTrail album (www.picturetrail.com); the
user name is "Condorita."

Note to Paula B: no, I still haven't put those long stitches in!

It's been determined that I have waaaaaaaaaaay too much stash: I had to check
the guest room, the living room, the basement, back to the guest room, trying
to find this one.

It turned out to be in the guest room (where I started), but I must've been
taking some really good pills the week I did the organizing, because I found it
filed in "Medium". If this ain't a "Large", I don't know what is!

It's 126x291 stitches if you're doing it all in one. See SAL e-list for
stitched sizes on various counts.
