Thank you everyone for sharing all of your work, I am just catching up on my emails. I had a great time in Ocean City MD at Salty Yarns giving a class. I will post photos tomorrow and share more.  I had to bring hubby to the hospital yesterday and came home last night and then we had an earthquake. Just enough to shake the house and make us think that the furnace exploded and the house was rumbling but all is well.  I am sure you are waiting for the 3rd part of the SAL. I am sharing some of your work first
This is from Raffaella in the Dolomiti Mountains
This is part 1&2 from Amanda in Cornwall UK
 So here is part #3 -  click on the word SALPART3 to be directed to the location for the chart.
This is fun seeing all of your work, have a good night

New Free Mystery SAL For my blog readers :) starts today!!!

Welcome to our Fall SAL.I think everyone enjoyed the summer one so much that I said I would have one for Halloween but that changed to Fall. I do hope you enjoy this one.
  • The stitch count is 84 x 56. If you do this on 28ct linen or 14ct Aida it will be a 6 x 4 and this would fit great in a 7x5 frame. This design is wider than taller.
  •  I would choose a grey color fabric for an autumn sky and you want to make sure the clouds will show up,  they are Ecru. 
  • Also do all of the stitching first for all of the 4 sections that you will be downloading. You will save the long stitches for the tree branches, fence, sheep, and pumpkin stems for last, This way you can tape all of your charts together and that will make it so much easier for you to do that all at once, :) 
  • I also suggest that maybe for the pumpkins you could do a Rhodes stitch or maybe you could still cross stitch the area but after you could make long straight stitches over them to give more dimension to your pumpkins. 
  • I also suggested Weeks Dye Works #2234 "Autumn Leaves" for the leaves in the tree and the pumpkins but if you have another over-dyed floss or fall color that you would like please substitute it. 
  • In the part of the lawn that I used DMC 830 on you will notice that I have small squares with DMC 829. I did this because you know how much I love dimension and the Rhodes stitch is one of my favorite along with french knots. So maybe you could use a Rhodes stitch or if you do not like any other stitches but cross stitch then feel free to use cross stitches in these areas. 
  • Here is a floss list for you: DMC: Ecru, 160, 502, 613, 742, 829, 830, 832, 834, 3371,  Weeks Dye Works #2234 Autumn Leaves
  • The charts will be on-line every Wednesday for 4 weeks starting today.
I will be adding all of your pics that you send to me of your progress on our SAL page, please be patient if I do not get to them right away, I am going to be doing some teaching during this time so I am a bit busy. But I am doing this because I enjoy hearing from all of you and I appreciate you. This is not a SAL that you have to sign up for it is free to everyone. But if you are stitching along with us it would be great if you did  reply to this post and tell me so that I have an idea of how many people are with us.
Thank you for joining this SAL. I hope you enjoy it and you can send me pics to stitchbythebay at g mail dot com ,
