Modern Folk Embroidery Sew along 2021 – FINISHED!!

It is done!!! a year long sew along and I have finished!

Let me go back to November, here I was working on that months block. As you can see, 21, the 20 is up on the top back in February.

November done, also I kept on working as much as I could in December, before December started.

This is as far as I got in December. Sure I was working off the main image, there were some mistakes in the background, but you can’t see them, at this point I can’t either. Also note, I didn’t have my initials in next to that house.

Working one December!

Here is a close up, someone else on IG had put in their own little signature, I’ve been doing this on my projects, so I added it in.

I had seen other people put in their initials, I didn’t have the alphabet. Turns out that back in January the alphabet was provided, but I misplace my January pattern, from Feb onwards I saved it in many locations. So I asked Jacob, he told me where it was, he also provided us with the complete design in one file. So now I’m getting rid of the individual ones. I also sewed my initials.

Looks very nice!

Close up of the tiny initials.

So I’m done! Tomorrow I will take it to the framers. I think I will forgo glass…. I don’t want to think about the cost of glass for a piece this size.

Also, I immediately signed up for the 2022 SAL, Jacob is doing it differently. It is a mystery based on an old Dutch Sampler. Too many people ripped off his design from the full image and sold it for pennies online. That is not OK. That is very different from me and others who worked ahead.

So, I have a nice piece of 40 count linen, I just ordered silk from Mrs. Seida in Spain and apparently it is on it’s way! We shall see how long it takes to get here. I am excited. Jacob is a phenomenal designer, I was ready to take the risk and just be surprised each month. Meanwhile, other projects are also happening.

I am left with a lot of thread. I over bought and I think Jacob is overly generous is telling us how much we need. No worries, these are good colors and my thread stash is simply growing. I need to figure out how to store them better…
