I finished work, got dinner cooked and cleaned up and then set to work on my next block. Block A is now completed. I'm starting to have some favourites in my fabrics too. Thank goodness I'm sewing them as I go. I can't believe how much reading I am doing. It is so satisfying to have another block completed.
Where do you put your finished blocks? I am a hoarder of tin, containers & plastic bags. This bag contained my Son dooner I gave him for Christmas. It was a hard piece of cardboard in it that keeps my blocks flat and the zip bag keeps it clean and dust free. I'm now on to my "No Place Like Home" stitchery. I think the stitcheries will keep me going for a while now.
1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March. I blogged about this on my blog thinking maybe one or 2 others may join us and lots of girls indicated an interest so I decided to start this blog where we can all encourage each other to meet the goals set along the way....March 2010 -March 2011...........
2nd SAL ......well so many of the girls wanted to continue on with another project and some new girls joined us and now approx 91 girls are stitching Natalie Bird's Tis the Season. March to Sept 2011...............
3rd SAL....many girls want to stick with the SAL so now we have moved onto Anni Downs Some Kind of Wonderful - My Favourite Things Quilt.......Oct 2011-Oct 2012.........
Where are we now.....
4th SAL 2013...is numerous smaller projects from the previous 2 books Tis the Season and Some Kind of Wonderful plus some projects from Red Home by Natalie Bird approx 60 ladies stitching together.........

5th SAL 2015..........inspired to continue we are doing another quilt project.....Anni Downs newest quilt Natures Journey.....

Super fabric,really good match to the DMC :-) Clever idea with the storage.My block G is in a too big box. Happy Stitching.
You have already made one more block as beautiful as the G block.
I haven't made so much sewing with all our problems out in Europe but I will try to catch it up. I love your colours.
