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.....
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.........
2014 we had the year off..............
5th SAL 2015..........inspired to continue we are doing another quilt project.....Anni Downs newest quilt Natures Journey.....
6th SAL 2017.............A Holly Cottage Christmas by Michelle Ridgway.......once again the pattern is in an affordable book so it is easy for everyone to join in...........and you can raid your stash for the fabrics........or lash out and buy a the whole lot........this SAL will be run by Fiona aka Bubz Rugz and Raewyn........

I love your organised threads. Mine are just in a ziplock bag. Lovely fabrics.
it has taken 4 years but hopefully this will be the year to get your quilt finished..........
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.......
welcome to the group Sheryl!
Great job on the stitchery!
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!
