Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 12

Welcome to the twelfth and last part of the Mamluk SAL! I hope you have enjoyed stitching this SAL as much as I have! Have you thought about how you are going to finish finish yours yet? I'm not sure if I'm going to finish mine as a pillow or if I'm going to frame it - time will tell.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 11

Welcome to the eleventh part of the Mamluk SAL! This month we are stitching the penultimate part of this SAL! The year has flown by hasn't it? I'm in the middle of the mayhem that is making announcement posts while also preparing for a Mystery SAL - what was I thinking? hehe.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 10

Welcome to the tenth part of the Mamluk SAL! This month we are continuing the final row that was started when we did part three. This month I am up to date despite joining in with another of the Team KLT vs Team Jodyri challenge months! They are such fun and I get so much stitching done - it's really good for me.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 9

Welcome to the ninth part of the Mamluk SAL! This month we are finishing the row - just one row left and it's finished! This month I was able to catch up on last month's stitching AND do this month's stitching.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 8

Welcome to the eighth part of the Mamluk SAL! This month we are continuing the row. I'm sorry I didn't get all of last week's posts up, I'm struggling with my health still (my rheumatism is now also joining in the "fun") and even my best plans are going awry - I have another trip to the Dr tomorrow as my finger is still not 100% better yet - it's been a good four weeks now *sigh*. Unfortunately this also means that I have been unable to stitch - so you won't see a photo of my work this month.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 7

Welcome to the seventh part of the Mamluk SAL! This month we are continuing the next row that we had more or less started when we stitched part three.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 6

Welcome to the sixth part of the Mamluk SAL! This month we are going to finish the row! Although we are half way with the monthly parts we are not halfway with the stitching as the coming six months will feature the higher stitch count areas.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 5

Welcome to the fifth part of the Mamluk SAL! This month we are adding a second block next to the one we did last month - next month will see a row finish!

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 4

Welcome to the fourth part of the Mamluk SAL! Sorry it's late! I was running around so much I forgot the time. This month we are going do the first of the "normal" shaped sections. As of this month every part will have the same area of stitches.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 3

Welcome to the third part of the Mamluk SAL! This month we are going to do the third odd shaped part that completes the full height of the left hand side - you can now see the full width and height of the finished embroidery.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 2

Welcome to the second part of the slow stitch SAL that is the Mamluk SAL! This month we are going to do the second odd shaped part next to the part we already did at the top.

Mamluk Cross Stitch SAL - Part 1

Welcome to the first part of the slow stitch SAL that is the Mamluk SAL! This month we are starting in the top left corner of the embroidery (those of you who like starting at the bottom can just rotate the patterns and work like that.) I started mine out on PTP Gingerbread 32ct linen but soon found that my eyes hated this particular colour on linen, so I had to stop. I started again using Zweigart 18ct Aida "Fein Vintage Beige", which my eyes liked a whole lot better.
