New Monthly SAL

my monthly fairy SAL
Yup, that's right.  Just what I needed--a new mystery monthly SAL.  This one is a mystery fairy by one of my favorite designers: Passione Ricamo.  Now if only Nora Corbett would design a monthly SAL then I'd be all set.  Here's what I've accomplished on my fairy so far.

SAL Part 4 complete

SAL Part 4

Part 4 close up
Beth and I stitched Tuesday night and I got a lot accomplished.  Then, I had to rip it all out because I was off on the Romanian Leaf stitch.  So Wednesday, I was able to fix everything that I had to rip out and I finally finished part 4.

Around the World in 80 Stitches Part 3

SAL part 3
I finished part 3 of my SAL.  This was my first attempt at cutwork.  I think I did rather nicely if I do say so myself.  The designer, Yvonne, did an excellent job writing the directions.  It wasn't as nerve-wracking as I thought it would be cutting my fabric.
