Update on this beautiful Sal by Lucie Heaton pattern. Now I’ve got seven parts made, today I started on the 8th. In the previous, 7 part, we stitched a beautiful sea wave according to the famous Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter, and printmaker of the Edo period Katsushika Hokusai. The artist is best known as the author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji which includes the internationally iconic print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa Lucie’s interpretation looks like this:

Some time ago Kate Worthington announced new SAL by Lucie Heaton pattern and I sign in for it, because I really like Lucie’s projects. I cross stitched a lot of her mice, but this new project was a surprise. It was created in beautiful shades of blue color and consists of 12 parts, so the project will keep me happy for a long time.

I use Murano 32 count evenweave, pearl colour for this project and DMC thread, as always. I always buy evenweave at my favourite Internet shop HobbyStudio from Elbląg city, this store has never let mi down before.

I get the pattern on the 1st of each month, keep up to date, the next part of the Sal is coming soon.

/ stitchesandquills / 6 Comments

A few weeks ago Kate Worthington  announced that together with dizainer Lucie Heaton organize free Sal, which they called Furry Tales – Medieval Fun. Every Friday the members of the group received a pattern and after 7 weeks I can show you the finished stitching. It was a pleasure to stitch these wonderful creatures in the Medieval style. Very funny and cheerful, no matter who they are – a King, a Quenn, a Princess, a Knight, a Wizard or a Jester – they evoke a smile on everyone’s face. Here are some pictures of the process. DMC threads, Iridescent Evenweave 32 count.

Under the Sea

Finally, after a long time, I managed to finish this project. It was one year Sal, arranged by lakesideneedlecraft The author of the pattern is, of course, Durene Jones I have to say that I love her patterns,  because they are fabulously beautiful. The heroes, colours, composition and aesthetics of her patterns create a harmonic picture that not only brings us back to our childhood, but also develops our taste. There is a lot of different sea creatures on it: fish, a shark, funny octopus, stars, even a submarine with a boy and a girl, two jellyfish, beautiful Mermaid, a tortoise, a crab, a crayfish, two seahorses, a manta ray, a squid, a snail and a diver. What is more, you can find an old trunk full of gold and jewelery and a lot of pearls on the seabed. So, I hope you understand, that it was a great pleasure to stitich this gorgeous project.
