Very Excited

I am very excited to be joining in on this Stitch a Long to complete the Gardeners Journal Quilt. Not only are the other women joining in a great bunch, I have also admired and aspired to make this quilt every since I saw the one my friend Raelee has made and has hanging on her lounge room wall.
I have chosen the fabric range Garden Party and this is the start of my stash. I have done a little shopping at the Fat Quarter Shop for the rest. I can't wait to start tracing and stitching. Thanks Chooky and Dale.
