The Totally Useless Stitch A Long 2021

Welcome to the 2021 Totally Useless Stitch A Long or TUSAL for short. This SAL is just for fun there are no hard rules except fun and fellowship with other stitchers. 

In a nutshell, you use a container (I use a glass jar) to save your thread ends (or orts) in and post a picture of it on the New Moon date of the Lunar Cycle. We accept all kinds of needlework orts in this SAL.

These dates change month to month, year to year, and depend also on what time zone you live in. I go by the date listed in my paper calendar, which is sometimes a day later than what is listed online.

The OFFICIAL 2021 New Moon Dates for this SAL are:

January 13
February 11
March 13
April 12
May 11
June10
July 10
August 8
Sept 7
October 6
November 4
December 4

My first TUSAL photo of 2021! All these orts are collected since my last TUSAL post nearly a year ago! My jar is emptied and washed for the next New Moon now!


My leaf bowl sewing orts are boring. I cleaned my studio at some point and trashed the pretty fabric orts so the only things here are from repairing my friends' dog sweater. Bits of iron-on interfacing and some gray threads.
