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.........

HI Everyone

Hi Everyone, I'm Sheryl and I live in country Victoria and I'm so excited about this stitch-a-long.....what fun to stitch a project I have had in my cupboard since 2006 with other stitchers from all over Australia and the world, wow!!
So I have my stitcheries traced off and I have nearly finished my first one.....

I love your organised threads. Mine are just in a ziplock bag. Lovely fabrics.

it is going to be so great to see all the quilts coming together with all the different choices of fabrics........nearly finished the bird bath.......

I agree with Kylie, your threads look lovely organised in the container. mmm - mine are sitting loosely inside the book....not too good. Your fabrics look lovely. You have a great start to a slow work in progress!
