Just a few days ago, I've started stitching a new SAL project in my German stitching group. It is Old European Sampler by Steve Rousseau. The sampler is pretty big, all together 354 x 354 stitches. I'd rather wanted to stitch a small design for my next SAL project, because our rental apartment has very limited wall space. But I just couldn't resist.
So to make this big sampler a little smaller, I've decided to stitch over only 1 fabric thread. I've been stitching almost non-stop for the last 3 days and this is how far I got so far. The first part is almost ready.
The original design calls for Gloriana thread, but I've changed colours a little and am using now regular DMC floss. I've promised my Mr. to use up my stash first before starting to buy new threads and fabrics. And I have a really big stash. I should take a picture of all of it someday.
I also have some other really good news. Well maybe not relevant for you folks, but for me: Spring has arrived in Finland. Yeeeeaaaahhhh! Temperatures are just above freezing point, the sun is shining almost every day and snow and ice slowly is starting to melt.

Looks great, Daniela. I envey you your sunny spring. Here in Pennsylvania, we're cloudy with rain. Someday the sun will come out -- hopefully.
A beautiful start to this project - can't wait to see more of it!
