I found the Randje per week SAL (see sidebar) last month and thought I´d like to join in although the stitching had started at the beginning of the year with a couple of patterns being released each week until the end of the year.
I didn´t want to wait another ten days for the recommended roll of linen to arrive and started the cross stitch bands on a cream 28ct evenweave which I had on hand. Not my ideal choice but I wanted to get started and shall make the sampler into a book or some such instead of a two metre roll.
Well this week I have caught up and I can tell you the secret of doing months of stitching in three weeks. All you have to do is slip off a step, fall headlong and sprain your ankle. All activity grinds to a halt and whilst you sit about with your bandaged foot propped up, you have plenty of time to work on Randje per week.

Beautiful stitches Sheryl! love the flower border.. wish i could be good at stitching. Sad to hear that you've sprained your ankle.. how is it now? hope you recover soon.. take care :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I may add this to my "want to do" list. Sorry about the injury.
ReplyDeleteOoh, those beautiful, repetitive stitches look so soothing, Sheryl :) Hope the ankle is better soon... NOT the recommended way to ensure stitching time, I should add ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty, Sheryl! But, I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle. I am having heel problems with my left foot, too--not fun to be laid up! At least we have our stitching to keep us entertained.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling all better very soon!
Beautiful stitching! Hope your ankle heals quickly... or that the healing process lasts 'till the stitching is finished..whichever you prefer... haha
ReplyDeleteSorry for the sprained ankle, but wow, you were doing the best that could ever come from it, lol. Congratulations on catching up, great job. I love the idea of a book and I'm already very curious to see how you will put it together in the end.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a speedy recovery.
wow, you really did catch up quickly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Sheryl. Sorry about the fall. Hope you are better soon! Thanks for the visit today.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty but honestly having sprained my ankle in the past I know it isn't fun. Oh well at least something good came of it and you got caught up on the SAL!
ReplyDeleteThere is some gorgeous stitching. Need to check out the SAL. I was so intrigued what the secret was ... well unfortunately I don't have the luxury of falling over, or I won't get paid. Oh well ... will look out for other less painful tips hopefully.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching Sheryl. Iam looking forward to seeing the book you plan on making from these embroideries.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have had a fall. I hope the ankle is healing and that it is not too painful.
