Christmas Design SAL

Members and Their Goals

We Stitch-A-Long together during the first week of the month.
Progress photos should be sent to me [yoyo_9203 at yahoo dot com]
before the last day of each month so I can put up photo albums
of progress when we get going. This is a rather open SAL,
if you'd like to join us all you need is a Christmas Design (WIP-UFO-or New Start).

5Foot Runt Undecided by ??? Lee is thinking about two different designs so I'm hoping for a picture when she makes up her mind.	Barb Quaker Christmas by Bygone Stitches Sassy 28ct Celery fabric over one with Vicki Clayton silks	Beth O' Star of Wonder by Candamar Design This will be a new start for Beth.
Blyn Jenny Bean Christmas Sampler by Shakespeares's Peddler, new start in January. Fabric? threads?	Clare Individual Ornaments by various designers Clare's theme will be Symmetry, each design must be symmetrical. I'll be interested to see what Clare's idea of symmetry is.	CindyMae An ornament a month CindyMae plans to stitch a different ornament each month. She has her first one ready to go and it's posted on her blog, a freebie from Aury at Acerca del bordado (lots of good freebies there!)
Crystal Night Before Christmas Scrapbook by Sandy Orton at Kooler Design Studios and available in Issue 10 (Nov. 06) of The Gift of Stitching On-line Magazine. Crystal does not have a blog (yet, he he he he).	Cyn Candy Cane a Month offered by Fireside Stitchery, a monthly club, so we won't get pictures until Cyn gets them. Actually, Cyn plans on stitching several different pieces with us, so look for lots of progress from her.	DebbieSFL Nativity by Mill Hill, another one that's been on hold because she stitches for other people. Glad you're going to do this one for you Debbie.
Elfie Angel of Grace by Lavender and Lace	GrannyAnne Christmas Ornaments Two sets, one a UFO and the other a new start.	Janet Christmas Patchwork by Cathy Bussi. Available in The Cross Stitcher, December 2009.
Jo Winter Wonderland by The Historical Sampler Company, Ltd. She's also hoping to add one ornament each month. (Jo does not have a blog. I'll be happy to post your progress pictures, just send them before the last day of the month.	Judy ABC Sampler by Krista Hamrick 14ct Aida with suggested threads, 16 x 20" sampler	Julie Coming Home for the Holidays Julie is using Dove Grey 16 ct Aida.
Justflo We Three Kings by Jim Shore designs she may also try for 12 Days of Christmas.	LadyHawthorne St. Nicholas a little more info would be good, please	Laura Christmas in Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House Samplings 36ct light Exemplar line with recommended NPI silks
Leeanne Holy Night by Shepard's Bush fabric? threads?	Lenna undecided Lenna has two designs in mind but is still undecided, she posted about her indecision on her blog, take a peek and voice an opinion if you have one. Please send us info and a picture when you decide.	Lesleyanne Various Designs by Lizzie Kate Lesleyanne has already started on Ho Ho Ho and hopes to do several more LK designs this year.
Lisa Merry Christmas By the Letter by Lizzie Kate sampler. The design, and therefore the picture, is VERY long, I cut it in two to keep it within the space requirements.	Maggee Blessings Be Thine by Blackbird Designs sampler. R&R overdyed Korty's Blend 30-count linen.	Marcy painted canvas stocking I can't quite make out the designer's name on the photo but the initials are LZ, I think, so if any of you painted canvas stitchers out there know who this is tell us and we'll give the designer credit.
Marie-Jolie undecided Marie is a very accomplished knitter, and I'm anxious to see if her project will be a knitting project or a stitching one. I'm sure knitters have the same problems as stitchers in never getting something 'for me' finished on time. So you are definitely welcome here Marie. Join up and get something 'for you' done in time for Christmas.	Measi Cats on a Staircase Bucilla stocking kit , a long time WIP or maybe it's UFO depending on your definition (LOL).	MollyCalf undecided well actually she has decided, but is waiting for her DH to give her the design (Carol Singers Sampler by Victoria Sampler) for Christmas (hope Santa is good to you Molly -- this is another that's very long and I cut it in half, sorry)
Nima Advent Calendar by Joan Elliot Nima's piece can be found in the UK Cross Stitcher #204. She started it earlier this year and will SAL with us to have it finished by Christmas 2010.	Olga Gracious Era Dimensions Gold Collection This will be a new start, but I think Olga may get a later start as she may be out of town for a bit.	Shay Joy to the World by Cross and Patch Designs Shay will use a 28 ct whie linen and convert the recommended colors to silk threads.
SpeedyStitcher Timeless Elegance Ornaments by Dimensions 6 ornaments, new start 12/09	Staci undecided I haven't heard from Staci for a bit but I did read on her blog that her computer had gone wonky, so we'll hope she is back with us soon.	Tina Quaker Christmas by Bygone Stitches I know I got an e-mail from Tina listing further info but for the life of me I can't find it. It's in there, I just have to dig harder.
Wendy undecided Wendy hasn't checked in yet, but she's mentioned a couple of Christmas things on her wish list and I know she just started a new HAED for Christmas so we'll see which she wants to stitch along with us.	Vikki-Frou Winter Carnation stocking series by Blackbird Designs. So far Vikki has 3 stockings ready to stitch, but it sounds like she may be doing more as she very ambitiously said "1 stocking a month", wow!	Vinniey Christmas Treasure Collection by Victoria Sampler Vinniey is not married to this design yet, she’s really still thinking.
Urzula The Spirit of Christmas by Lavender and Lace Undecided on materials as yet.	Wilma undecided My good friend Wilma says she may stitch with us, either a large kit that's been on hold or maybe a grandchild's stocking. Let us know Wilma. (I don't think Wilma has a blog)	Yoyo Father Noel by Isa Vauter Santa sampler, it's fairly large, but since I haven't got the fabric yet I can't give a measurement, still unknown fabric with DMC 498 (monochrome). New start 12/09
Ziggyeor A Dragon Stocking by ?? I'm excited to see which one, send me a picture of your leaflet or kit cover please.	You are welcome to join us any time throughout the year. Just leave a comment on the Information and Sign Up page.
