Late on Friday evening came Week 5 (Bands 11 and 12) of the Randje per week SAL. I stayed up so I could have a look at the new bands and then settled down on Saturday afternoon to stitch them. I also continued stitching my grandmother's name, DOB and DOD down the right hand side.  I am really enjoying this SAL and you could too as it's not too late to join in. See *here*  I think there are over a 1000 participants now!

Dora (no blog) sent me a picture of her finish of Sew Advent. It is stitched on 40 count linen using DMC B5200, 321, and 520. A lovely finish Dora - thank you for sharing!

If you have a Sew Advent or, indeed, any iStitch Design you wish to share please email me a picture together with details of fabrics and threads used and a link to your blog if you have one. My email address is on my profile. You can also share your iStitch Designs stitching on the Facebook page *here* 

I have also been stitching up the model of a new iStitch Design and I may show you a sneak peek in the next day or so. I am using HDF's Baneberry - such a pretty colour - but this can be stitched with your favourite variegated thread.

This is week 3 of my Randje per week SAL. If you check this against week 2 post you can see that this is actually version 4! I left only 2 spaces between the bands and thought it looked a little crowded so I turned the band upside down and started again leaving 3 spaces. I am now quite happy with this version and will add to it each weekend when the pattern is released by Simone. You can also see 3 letters - ETH - have been added to the side band - these are the first 3 letters of my grandmother's name. I have posted about my grandmother before - can you remember her full name?
