Song of the Weather SAL Gallery
The 2013 Song of the Weather Stitch-Along has now finished, but if you are still stitching then do keep sending in your pictures – we'd love to see them!
Share your version with everyone by sending us a photograph for the Gallery – with a picture of your stitching (resized to 300 x 300 pixels if possible), your name or nickname as you would like it to appear, and some information about the materials you've used.
Click on any of the thumbnails for a bigger version of the image and details about the fabric, threads, etc.
Song of the Weather is still available as six pairs of designs or a complete set.
January • February • March • April • May • June • July • August • September • October • November • December • Finishes
If you're looking for pictures from the 2016 and 2020 SALs, they have their own dedicated Galleries: Round in Circles and Tree of Life.
