Stained Glass Cross Stitch SAL
Who doesn’t love a cross stitch SAL? I know I am in love with them! Hence why I’ve started to create my own.
Another one of my true loves is Disney. Okay, some may call it an obsession. I truly believe you are NEVER, EVER too old for Disney!
After falling in love with Mandie Manzano’s art work – especially her stained glass Disney inspired pieces I decided I needed these in cross stitch. So off I went to talk to Mandie – she is such a sweetheart! With her blessing I have started a stained glass cross stitch SAL inspired by her art pieces.

A Little History about the Large Version of this Cross Stitch SAL
This massive adventure began in September 2018. We did a re-run from May 2020 to January 2022.
We have also did a Stained Optionals SAL from May 2020 to January 2022. This gave another 21 patterns to match this series!
CURRENTLY CLOSED! Next opening will be Spring 2024
These cross stitch stitch alongs are both 21 month adventure and a MASSIVE project in terms of size.
- Each panel was 144 stitches by 432 stitches
- The entire project will be a whopping 1008 x 1296 stitches – each! Double that if you chose to do both.
This can be a BIG undertaking for many – each of these are around 62,000 stitches in size. It is not an easy task. I have a solution for those that don’t want to commit to something that big.

Do These Sound TOO Massive of a Cross Stitch SAL??
These patterns are definitely expert level stitching. They are big, and confetti heavy. But that shouldn’t scare you away! They are soooo worth it! It will be worth the learning curve, and time.
If these are just too big an undertaking for you, we will be launching a “mini” version. They won’t necessarily be MINI, but they will be half the size, and half the floss colors.
This will reduce the detail of these pieces, but they are still pretty in a simpler sense. Here is a comparison.

The “mini” versions are just shy of 20,000 stitches each – instead of the 62,000 for the large version.
Currently these smaller versions are only being offered as a Disney Stitch Along – Stained Mini’s that started March 2022. They will be available individually at a later date – probably around spring 2023.
We are starting with 30 of these pieces. There are more, and those will release individually afterwards.
I would like to know how big the piece would be with all 30 pictures
It would all depend how many rows and columns you decided on. If you did 3 rows of 10 each it would be 820 x 717 stitches
Ok thank you so much!
How do you send the pattern and information ?
You will see a welcome email once signed up (within 24 hours – I have to add in manually) and everything is sent via email from there. 🙂
How would this work if u live UK please?
These are all delivered electronically so you would print them yourself, or use programs like Pattern Keeper
I seen it was talking about all 3 bundle, but I didn’t see anything about the price for that?
Im VERY much interested in doing all of them, but need to know the bundle price so I can do some figuring on price (especially since I’ve never used my sign on coupon from becoming a stitchee)
I have decided to keep all three individually.
