.The Smalls SAL is hosted by Heather over at the Stitching Lotus. This one, like all the others I participate in, is very low stress. Pop on over to Heather's blog and sign up, you can join in at anytime, stitch a small (you define what's small) and post a picture on the last Friday of the month. Simple right? The SAL is designed to encourage us to love those small designs too and for me it's a chance to actually say I've finished something. For the next few months, I will be working on The Sampler Life's SAL from a few years ago. I have five or six more blocks from that and then I will start the Joyful World SAL.
This month's finish is Fountains from Lori Laughlin of Rainbow's Daughter
Not my favorite piece because, well, backstitch! But I do like the color combination. If I did it again, I would probably use beads instead of French knots in those diamonds. As I mentioned, I have a few more blocks to stitch; however, only a couple are 50X50 like all the rest, so a bit of fiddling and math to figure out how to make them fit best.
Zen is on the frame for the rest of the weekend and I just got a notice that my order of PTB is on its way so I may actually be able to fill in some of the blank bits soon.

Very pretty small finish. Such pretty colours.
That's a very pretty small finish :) I'm looking forward to your progress on Zen.
Such a sweet block. Beads would look lovely too.
I love ticking off the SALs in my diary each month.
