Signed up too! I've never tried Hardanger but it looks beautiful so this seems a perfect opportunity to learn. :D

One of the first things I did this morning was to sign up for the SAL. Now to decide on my materials. Gonna try to stick with stash I already have. It will be so nice to have this to look forward to after the Holiday activity.

I just signed up...and I have two pieces of hardanger coming Saturday. I couldn't decide between white and purple, so I got both. :-? :doh: :tizzy: I'm really leaning toward the purple (based on how it looks online)...but I also like the idea of using different color fibers. Decisions!!!!

You could go mad and stitch in fuchsia and orange on purple :-)

Well, it is a mad mad mad mad world. :-) I would love to figure out a pretty way to incorporate a bright blue and a bright green - those, with the purple, would represent my birthstone, my son's, and my dil's. Sometimes I just hate making decisions!

Love the idea of the purple fabric Debby. I make my decisions about fabric and thread colour when I see the design each month.

I shall be sewing from stash as much as possible this time around :) banned myself from spending as i have so much to complete at the moment it makes no sense to keep buying when funds are tight and i cant possibly use everything i have at the moment.
This has worked well for me this year as i have only bought 2 packs of needles and a few threads to complete my grandsons birthday present, so that is my goal again this year to complete stuff already started or sew from stash :)

I suspect I'll have a go at this using the white version with perhaps hints of colour on some of the specialty stitching. I'll know more when I see the first design. :D

Thanks Debby....I think that despite the fact that I'm almost drowning in fabrics I may just have to get a piece of that... :wink: I'll wait to see what the New Years budget brings! :lol:

Sally, both pieces of fabric are by Wichelt, 22 count hardanger. The white is "antique white" and the purple is "lilac" (it's not lilac in person, it's PURPLE and beautiful :wub: ).
