The Last Days of Swans and Shears SAL

Hello to happy stitchers everywhere.
This post is all about the final days of  my “Swans and Shears”  SAL which has now ended.   This SAL has been running since January 19, 2018.  Now, in a few days, we will remove the SAL parts from our Facebook group.  That date is September 15, 2018.   
After that, we begin a month where SAL members re-check carefully to be sure they have saved all the parts.  There is a set of parts charted in the colorway you see above. Then there is a set with one symbol so you can choose your own colors. 

The Facebook group will remain open until October 15, 2018.  From September 15 to October 15. If  you are missing a part, you need to contact me or one of my Admins for replacement parts.  After October 15, we will not replace any lost parts.

For those who are not members, if you purchase before October 15th, I will email the parts to you.

You might want to purchase the SAL right away before it is gone.  Next year, it may be offered to needlework shops and be listed in my Etsy as a chart with a higher price.

I hope you will take advantage of the time remaining so you can enjoy this pretty design at the special SAL price.

Quaker Rocky Road

A Quaker Confection is on the menu! Purchase information here

Quaker Rocky Road - size  330x260

Wikipedia relates some fascinating information which inspired my design. “The world's first commercial ice cream factory was opened in Baltimore, Maryland in 1851, by Jacob Fussell,  a Quaker dairy farmer.  An unstable demand for his milk led him to mass produce ice cream which allowed this previously expensive concoction to be offered at prices everyone could afford. He opened ice cream parlors from Maryland to Texas, later selling his business to Borden.”  A big bowl of Rocky Road ice cream just may have been on the menu!

Quaker Rocky Road is composed of full crosses, back stitches and a single eyelet in tones of chocolate and marshmallow, with a few nut and berry tones shades tossed in for variety.  The chocolate chunks are stitched in the various browns, so that the motifs formed by the unstitched white linen areas the look of Assisi embroidery.

Back stitched Blackwork style filigree bands, border, various motifs in chocolate and pistachio reminds us of those dainty little ice cream wafers, a plaid "shortbread cookie" border completes the look.  The design reads “Chocolate Smooths the Rocky Road of Life”.  Isn’t that the truth?

Incidentally,  Smooths and Smoothes are both correct spellings!
