The "Grow" stitch along for plant lovers is starting soon, so it's time to mark your calendars as we get ready to stitch!

In today's post there are two important details for you below...a supply list and dates for the stitch along. First, let's talk about the schedule.

"Grow" Stitch Along Schedule

• There will be Four parts to this stitch along (and a Part Zero, too).

• The stitch along will "officially" start on Saturday, August 12th. However, there will be a Part Zero that will be published on Saturday, August 5th. Part Zero will explain how to transfer the design onto the fabric if you did not purchase a supply kit or a pre-printed fabric panel. So here's the complete schedule:

• Part One - Saturday, August 12th

• Part Two - Saturday, August 19th

• Part Three - Saturday, August 26th

• Part Four -Saturday, September 2nd 

Remember - once they've been published, all four parts will stay on the blog for the duration of the Stitch Along and for a short while after it finishes. So if you don't finish your hoop while the SAL is running, don't panic! At some point after the SAL is over, I will remove everything from the blog and it will all be available in the Lolli and Grace shop. Therefore, if it's going to be a while before you're able to finish it, you are welcome to print out the instructions and patterns for your personal use later.

Supply List
