Oh, heavens! I have that in stash from way back and still haven't started it.
A SAL might be what I need to get me in gear.

Oh Goodie I have that too! There is a secret to starting that one if
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!

I think the secret was to wait and do the blue and yellow sawtooth
border last, starting from the middle and working out, since if you do
it as charted you'll have some partial sawtooths where the side pieces
joined. No big deal.

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!

Sacred cows make great hamburgers.

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.

Meredith, rumor on the e-list is that someone got the book for much less than
$35. Join the e-list and get the info.

If you buy the book, you might be able to talk me into buying it from you when
you're done stitching -- e-mail me off-list to discuss.

Meanwhile, have you checked HoffmanDis.com? They may have the leaflet for a
lot less than the hardback book.

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.
