Fox & Rabbit Mystery SAL 2026 (October) - WIP

 Here's my latest installment of the Fox and Rabbit Mystery SAL for 2026.  

Thank goodness that this month's section was small, we all needed a break after the last two!

Fox & Rabbit 2026 Mystery SAL - September (WIP)

 It's not a great picture, but this is the status of my Fox and Rabbit Mystery SAL. 

 This month was a little stitch heavy, but I really enjoyed cherry picking the colors and following the patterns.  

This month's section...

America the Beautiful Mystery SAL Part 5 (August) - Teresa Kogut (Finish)

 Today I finished Part 5 of the America the Beautiful Mystery SAL today.  Phew!  This one was more stitch heavy than the rest have been, but it was adorable!  Absolutely love the horse, the cat on the roof, and the cute little house with the bunting under the windows.

America the Beautiful Mystery Sal - Teresa Kogut - Part 5

Today is August 1st.  This marks the start of Part 5 of the "America the Beautiful" Mystery Sal from Teresa Kogut.  We were warned ahead of time that this month's edition was a little stitch heavy.  We shall see, won't we?  This is as far as I got today.

America the Beautiful - Part 3 (June) - WIP

 I try to stitch all my "monthly" SALS at the beginning of the month.  I finished Part 3 of Teresa Kogut's Mystery SAL yesterday.  I'm stitching all 9 parts on one piece of fabric.  Fabric: 40 ct. Maple Bar from Cedar River.  Called for flosses.

Fox & Rabbit Mystery SAL - June (FInish)

America the Beautiful - Mystery SAL Block 1 - Teresa Kogut (WIP)

 On the 4th, 14th, and 24th of the month we stitch patriotic themed items in our Discord group.  I picked America the Beautiful Mystery SAL to stitch as I'm a little behind due to some model stitching.  I plan to finish this today and move on to Block 2 the next time I pick it up.

My friend Sarah (from discord) says the men should have mouths.  I don't know, maybe I'll put them in, maybe I won't.  Lol!

Fox & Rabbit 2026 Mystery SAL (WIP)

 This is my April section of the mystery SAL. I wish I had color picked the March section, but I was pressed for time.  The April section was a straight stitch showing the variegation in the floss.

New Patreon Mystery SAL from Teresa Kogut (Kitting)

Today I'll be kitting up "America the Beautiful" by Teresa Kogut.

 I'm very excited to do this SAL. I loved every minute of the "Hometown" Mystery SAL last year.

I won't be able to start right away but I want to get everything ready.

I did get all the called for flosses, but I don't have a piece of Steinbeck that is big enough.  

Today's quandry... what fabric to use?  After comtemplating several choices and doing a floss toss, I decided to use 40 ct.  "Maple Bar" by Cedar River Linen.  My piece of "Steinbeck" was a 36 ct. and wasn't big enough.

Fox & Rabbit 2026 Mystery SAL (WIP)

Today's stitch was the March installment of the Fox & Rabbit 2026 Mystery SAL.

Mystery SAL AI 1664 - February 2026 - Fox & Rabbit (WIP)

 This is the January and February sections of the Mystery Band Sampler SAL from Fox & Rabbit.  The assigned sections of the pattern is posted every month on their website.  It is a free design.  I decided to do mine on 36 ct. Valley Forge by Needle & Flax with Pas de Deux floss from Colour and Cotton.

I'm loving working on this!.

Teresa Kogut Patreon Hometown SAL - WIP

 I'm still on track!  

I can't believe I've kept up to date every month for the past two years during this mystery SAL.  I have loved every minute of the SAL.  

Each month is an easily handled section.  This made it enjoyable and not a task to be done. Thank you Teresa!

SAL - Hometown - Teresa Kogut

 Anxiously awaiting the next part of the @teresakogut Hometown SAL!

Hometown - Mystery SAL - Teresa Kogut (Page finish)

 I finished the latest installment of the Hometown SAL. I'm still keeping up!  Love all the little pine trees and bee skeps.

This is how far we are.  I can't wait to finish this piece!  (I know, it's a terrible photo.  I get a clearer one next time.)

Fabric:  36 ct. Vintage Country Mocha

Floss:  Called for flosses in this section.

Hometown SAL - page 15

 Still on track with Teresa Kogut’s Hometown SAL!

Hometown Mystery SAL - Page 12

Hometown - Page 12

I managed to squeeze in Page 12 of Teresa Kogut's Hometown Mystery SAL before the end of December to stay on track.  I can't wait to see what is coming up next!  

I decided to frog 2 of the trees that I had previously stitched with Tarragon instead of 3052 on Page 11.  I misplaced one of the trees slightly when I put it back in, but it was only one stitch off, so I left it.  I had to fudge a little at the church to accomodate, but it still looks alright to me. Just "making it my own".  LOL!

Fabric:  36 ct. Vintage Country Mocha Linen

Floss: Mainly DMC with a few substitutions, previously listed.  No changes on this page.

I spent the last two days stitching the latest installment of Teresa Kogut's Mystery SAL. 

Can't wait for next month's

Fabric:  36 ct. Vintage Country Mocha

Floss:  Called for DMC with a few substitutions. In this part I subbed Tarragon for two of the apple trees.  I wanted a variety in my orchard.
