And it is done –
Started about March/April 2023 and finished today. This 17 part SAL was released on an every two week basis by Owl Forest. I kept up till last fall (first 12 parts) when we headed to Asia and didn’t touch it again till the end of last month. Low ball estimate was more than 7k worth of stitches in parts 13-17. Both the Island and that treasure chest + the last two pirates. I pulled random silks from stash that looked like they might work (read Dinky Dyes, BeStitchMe, Silks4U…). I skipped all of the place labels for oceans and proteins of the island. I figure if anyone can’t figure out that a large red X marks the spot, there is no hope for them.
So I am back to working on Hobbit House which is now at 73%.
