Spring Mystery SAL 2019 - Part 15

Welcome to the fifteenth part of the Spring Mystery SAL 2019! It's time to show you what my completed embroidery looks like but the important bit for you is the pattern for the back that I designed - well actually it's more than one!

And here it is! I hope you like the pattern I designed for this SAL!

Now on to the next bit - the information for the back pattern for those of you who would like to make a biscornu or pincushion with this pattern

I have included two ideas for a back in the pattern, though the second one would be fun as a mini sampler in itself. As always I have included a full alphabet so you can customise your back and have it say whatever you like. Please note that I have included two Q's - which you choose to use is up to you, so pick the one you like the most. Of course you could always go for option three: stitch the border and leave the centre empty.

Please note that GS are my initials which I added so you'd know where to put yours should you wish to add them.

I'll see you for the next part of the mystery in four hours! Yes, really! Have fun!

On all social media sites the tag to use is:  #SpringMagicalMysterySAL - let's make the world see what we are up to!

I do not expect anyone to be able to be up to date at all times during the SAL - you need to eat and sleep at the very least so expect to be "behind" part - if not all - of the time! It's part of the nature of this type of SAL for this to happen, so being "behind" is the normal state of affairs. If you are a slow stitcher expect to finish "after" the SAL has "finished" - though tbh the SAL is always available and new people find the patterns on a regular basis so it's never really over.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Either here or in the Facebook group or, if you prefer, you can DM me on Twitter or Instagram (@magical525 on both)
