The only time I gridded my fabric was a "stained glass window" with
How Great Thou Art. It really helped with the half and quarter
stitches.

I've always loved that design!

As I was going through your pics, I saw the SAL we did in 2009. I did 4
different colors and they sat in my stitching cabinet for years. I
finally put them together as a kleenex box cover (they were the perfect
size) and they're now in my bathroom! I had to stitch one more for the
top.


So nice to see activity in rctn.

It suuuuure is!


Hmmm.... I know my SAL and several other version are in my finished
but unfinished (you know what I mean) pile. Your idea of a Kleenex
box cover is a good one. I've got one my mom did many years ago and
now all the Kleenex boxes are too big for it. Perhaps that would
work. Need to unearth them.
