Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 48

Welcome back for the long awaited (and slightly late) last part of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! I do hope you have all enjoyed the ride and had fun stitching - I know I have loved seeing what you have all been up to week to week! I really do need to get round to posting some more pictures of what you have all stitched as the results have been amazing so far!

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 47

Welcome back for part 47 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! I'm sorry about the delay! I'd completely forgotten it was Tuesday - it's been so busy I'm messing up days. And that so close to the end of it all too - I bet you have all been chomping at the bit to get to this post.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 46

Welcome back for part 46 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! There is so little left of this pattern now I bet those of you who have had time to do the patterns as they were released can smell the end! I'm going to be mean though and stick to the schedule! Not much longer to wait though as the last part will be given before the end of this month - so if you are up to date (or still have a few weeks to do) there is still time to finish before Christmas!

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 45

Welcome back for part 45 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! This week the first part of the last band. I do hope you enjoy this last band too! As some people showed in the past that they didn't like the partial beasts I am giving a second picture below to show how you can stitch the beasts instead to have no partial beasts.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 44

Welcome back for part 44 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! So... if you are in the USA or any other part of the world that didn't change to winter time last weekend this post is only a little late... if you are in Europe, where the clocks changed to winter time last weekend, this post is more than an hour late - sorry about that! All I can say in my defence is that I got caught up watching Heston Blumenthal first making a Gothic Horror dinner for six unsuspecting diners and then he made chicken tikka masala though I did manage to drag myself away before he started making the naan bread.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 43

Welcome back for part 43 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! This week you get the "missing" bits from last week's pattern section as well as this week's ten lines of stitching for a total of twelve lines of stitching. I'm very glad I realised what day of the week it was just in time to post this as I was busy stressing about my oldest son who just arrived in Italy for a school exchange trip - he will be fine but I always stress during the flight.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 42

Welcome back for part 42 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! This week is a little exciting as it's the end of the band - and shorter than usual as well for that very same reason! As always I like to round off the band with the separating band and not do any part of the following band just because one or two lines of stitching isn't nice to try and work in, especially if you are using multiple colours.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 41

Welcome back for part 41 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! I'm so sorry this is delayed! I had a parent's evening and expected to be home on time so I could get this post made before it was time to go up - as you can tell I didn't.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 40

Welcome back for part 40 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! After this week there will be just 8 more weeks of patterns and if you have been able to keep up (unlike me hehe) then it will be finished! But first we continue with the ninth band...

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 39

Welcome back for part 39 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! This week I finally got back to stitching this project! If you look below you will see it in all its glory as I took a photo of it all today.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 38

Welcome back for part 38 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! The new washing machine arrived and got to work very hard over the weekend as I caught up on wash! I'm also almost all caught up with the Randje Per Week I've been working on - then I think that Weavers will be back on my desk for some TLC in the form of lots of stitching. This week you get half the main body as the pattern so a nice chunk of stitching!

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 37

Welcome back for part 37 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! I've been having some "fun" this past week as my washing machine died - and costs more to repair than a new one would (eeek) - so I've been doing some of the wash in an old baby bath tub with my sons as the power behind the wash. Think of the old westerns where they shoot at the guy's feet to make him "dance" and then think of 15/17 year old teenagers doing that (not at the same time!) in a baby blue baby bath (try saying that fast!) and you can see how amusing that is! I had the "joy" of rinsing it all out properly in the sink and then my poor drier had to deal with wetter than usual wash which of course took hours longer than usual as we just can't wring as much out as the 1600rpm spin cycle my washing machine had. Fortunately the new washing machine should arrive this week so I'll be able to catch up on the mountain of wash that's growing! But enough of my latest trial and tribulation (it's just there to keep my arm muscles toned, I'm sure of it!) time for this week's band!

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 36

Welcome back for part 36 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! Thank you for all the condolences, both here, Instagram and on Facebook. I'm not sure if I'll be able to thank you all personally but please do not take this to be me ignoring your messages, it's just very difficult for me to deal with them.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 35

Welcome back for part 35 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! I found out last Thursday that my brother died of lung cancer so there wasn't a Friday freebie but as you can see the Weavers is here on schedule. This week brings the start of the next animal band - it's another of the bigger bands and will take eight weeks to stitch.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 34

Welcome back for part 34 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! I'm sorry this is late, I'm ill and completely forgot it was Tuesday yesterday. This week sees the second and last part of band eight! I do hope you like it.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 33

Welcome back for part 33 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! This week is the first part of the eighth band! How exciting is that?!? It's a two week band and not much can be seen this week - as it's so short I'm not showing the full band this week.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 32

Welcome back for part 32 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! Although it's still far too hot I've finally managed to get stitching again, though on my Viking Dragon not this project - but at least I'm stitching again! I'm sure you are all curious what this week's pattern will bring so without further ado.....

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 31

Welcome back for part 31 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! This week we have been suffering under an almost unrelenting heatwave - it's not as bad as it was on Friday but still much too hot to do much of anything unless you *have* to. Fortunately I don't have to do much so I've been reading within range of the fan most of the time.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 30

Welcome back for part 30 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! This week I'm back from holiday so things should return to their normal state of things with the patterns being up shortly after this post. I had a good holiday eventually though getting away was a bit more difficult than anticipated as my flight was cancelled, and the replacement flight I got 2 days later was also cancelled! This time it was due to a bomb threat! Fortunately no bombs were actually found but it did stop all airport traffic for hours and meant the flight was rescheduled for the next day. I've had my excitement for the year... I much prefer boredom.

Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL: Part 29

Welcome back for part 29 of the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler SAL! This week you get the seventh band! As an experiment I have included the whole of band seven in the image below but blurred out the bit you are not getting this week in an attempt to stop people stitching too far ahead while looking at the picture (it's been done *sigh*). This will hopefully let people who like to pick colours to see what is happening so they don't have to wait till the end of the month to stitch.
