Weavers Birds SAL - Part 12

Welcome to the twelfth and last part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you get the final part of the last band!

I hope you have enjoyed stitching this SAL and I would LOVE to see your results - or WIP pictures if life and/or other projects got in the way as they do at times. I am hoping to do a post between Christmas and the new year with pictures of your work - if you'd like to be included please email me at:  Magical at smallbluemonkey dot net (put a @ where "at" is and a . where it says "dot" and don't forget to remove the spaces) and please tell me what name I should use for you as I do like to get things right.

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 11

Welcome to the eleventh part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you get the second part of the last band! We are so close to the end, but not quite there yet fortunately, so you can enjoy it for a bit longer.

With the end of this year's SAL in sight I shall be doing the overview post for next year's Weavers Band Sampler on Saturday as I already have posts lined up for for the rest of this week - yup it's going to be a five post week this week! What time it gets posted I'm not sure yet, there is a lot to write for the post!

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 10

Welcome to the tenth part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you get the first part of the last band! Yes, that's right! We are working on the last band now - with just three parts left including this one!

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 9

Welcome to the ninth part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you get the last part of this band! You also get the first two rows of the next band, though it might be a good idea to wait with stitching those few stitches - especially if you are going to use more than one colour.

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 8

Welcome to the eighth part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you get the middle part of this band - those of you waiting to see what colour to use where will probably see enough to make decisions now! Well for the most part anyway...

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 7

Welcome to the seventh part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you finish band three and start band four! Since the beginning of a band is always a bit more difficult for people picking colours I have included a key in this post so you know what you are stitching.

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 6

Welcome to the sixth part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you finish band two and do most of band three! Yes, that's right - band three is a skinny band of just 19 stitches high excluding the bands that come between each band.

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 5

Welcome to the fifth part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you get the second part of the second band. Hopefully you will be able to see where the pattern is going now that you can see most of it.

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 4

Welcome to the fourth part of the Weavers Birds SAL! The fourth part brings a new band... which will take the next two and a half months to stitch as the last part of this band will arrive with the first part of the next band for a two for one effect!

Friday Freebie: Weavers Birds Pincushion and Fob

Welcome to a Weavers Birds SAL special! It's Friday Freebie time and I thought it was high time everyone stitching the Weavers Birds had a pincushion and fob to use while stitching it. To avoid spoilers (I'm such a meanie) I am only using elements from the pattern sections given so far with a little embellishment to make things pretty.

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 3

Welcome to the third part of the Weavers Birds SAL! Just like that the third part is here and it brings the finish of the first band! I have seen some fabulous birds showing up in our not so little Facebook group - from flamingo pink to bright happy parrots and everything in between - it's been fun to see them come past. If you are in the group and haven't shared a picture yet please do as I'm dying to see what you have been up to!

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 2

Welcome to the second part of the Weavers Birds SAL! This month you get to see more of the birds and what's around them. I do hope the key I included last month helped you decide what colour to put where. No key this month as its all clear now.

For those of you wondering: I did make it to the post office last week - I had some fun and games as the intern I spoke to wasn't all that bright and couldn't seem to remember two things: 1) it had to have a track and trace 2) it had to be the cheapest possible (sometimes parcel is cheaper, sometimes normal mail... it depends) so he only did 2) and left me having to insist on it having track and trace too - not fun when the place is packed.

Weavers Birds SAL - Part 1

Welcome to the first part of the Weavers Birds SAL! With a new SAL comes a new header! I waited till today to show it as this is also the first part of the SAL. One thing you will notice on the pattern is that it has lines - red on the colour version, black on the black and white version. These lines are every six rows and indicate how much to stitch if you want to stitch a bit of the pattern every week.

Weavers Birds SAL - Information and Border Pattern

After the success of last year's Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL I decided to make a somewhat smaller pattern based on the same weavers draft patterns found on the Antique Pattern Library for this year. The theme this year is birds.
