As promised, here is block nine of my Christmas Rules SAL -

And here is the project to date -

I can't believe that we only have three more blocks left! Even though I've been stitching on this since the first of the year, it doesn't seem like it's been that long. I've been enjoying every bit of it :o) Nia and I have decided that come the first of 2012, we're going to stitch Halloween Rules as our new SAL. I can't wait!

Remember to read the important note on my September 9 post! Again, thank you for all your comments. They've been a joy to read :o)

  1. Great Stitching but I have to tell you.....instead of seeing Share your toys....I read it to be shake your toys. I guess the little kid in me was thinking of Christmas morning. Hahahaha I look forward to seeing your progress. It will soon be a finish!!

  23. You'll be done in no time. Great job. Do you iron your stitching every time you take a pic? Your work is always immaculate.

  24. You are just zipping along with your SAL. It's such a light and cheerful piece. I love the cute reindeer on top of the house - he looks like he's flying over the house!

  28. This is a great piece for Christmas house decorating. The fabric looks gray--what color is it?

    ReplyDelete
  29. This is just darling. I really like the reindeer block.

    I've not kept track...are you doing one block each month or just going along as it gets there? I'm much better going on a kept schedule but my "extra" stitching seems to suffer!

  30. Like everyone else, I just love this piece. I am really wanting to stitch Halloween Rules too but I want to do them as individual ornaments.

  31. Hi Pumpkin, Love the rules. Everytime I see yours it makes me want to work on mine. I only have part of the top and first rule worked on.

  42. Hmm... I missed seeing this post on my Google Reader :( Hope you don't mind me commenting on it so late.

    Anyway, Christmas Rules looks great! It's coming along beautifully. Three more blocks... you should be able to finish it in time for Christmas :)

  43. Growing nicely, the months of the year just fly be when you stitch a part a month, it makes you realise how fast life passes you by
