Alla Turca SAL, Part 1

Yeah, I started another SAL! What was I thinking? This one is called Alla Turca. It is by Pelin Tezer and is a 9 part freebie here. You can email her and she will send you the first 6 parts, or join the Yahoo group StitchersHeaven, where the parts are also available. I think it was the peacocks in the middle that got me! This is part 1 for the most part, with a little straying to other parts. The fabric is a Silkweaver 28ct cashel and the threads are Weeks Peacock and RG gold Sparkle Braid. And yep, it's stitched over 1! Call it hockey withdrawal-induced insanity....I'm still coming down from the Carolina Hurricanes great run thru the playoffs, which ended too soon, alas!

  3. Hurricanes had a great run - they went further than anyone had even thought they would. Go Canes!! I love this piece; I've seen several stitching it - you've already made a great start!
