IMPORTANT INFORMATION WITH REGARDS TO YOUR ORDER
This year’s SAL is split in TWELVE monthly parts that are all released simultaneously.
You can join the SAL at any point during the year.
The pattern booklet will have an alternative version of the main design, so you can choose which parts to stitch on your SAL.
A secondary chart, “Alternative Trees” features three additional tree motifs that can be used to replace the large circular motif at the centre of the design. These designs can also be stitched up separately. Those who find the prospect of the 2023 SAL a little too daunting can also choose to join in on the SAL by stitching one of those trees of life.
