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.........

Two more blocks--completed!

This one is rather large!
Block F for September
Block D for August
Since I'm doing G over, I still have 3 to go...I have two more pieces of stitching to do...I've really enjoyed this project.
Lee, do you see your fabric in these two blocks? Check out the butterfly in the first one..I wish I could find a source for this fabric...I love it.
Since I began this, I feel quite lost if I don't have a piece of stitchery to do while sitting in the evening....Lee was good enough to send me some patterns so I know what project I am doing next...The months of the year, Sunbonnet Sue.
Happy Stitching, my friends...I want to see lots more blocks in the next couple of weeks.

Mama Bear....your blocks are lovely! I did see some of my fabrics in your blocks. I, too, love that fabric and will include pieces in my stitchery. It came from my stash. My Sunbonnet Sue was done in red and I sashed it with a teal with red print and lots of red buttons. Have fun. Lee

Both blocks looks very lovely and you are far ahead. The August block is No. 5 and that is half way. My D block is done too and it looks like September is rather big.
But as you say: I've really enjoyed this project.

Beautiful blocks. Stitching is quite addictive and I feel the same way. I am going to do An Angel's Story next. Have fun!

Looking great! I have to agree that the hand stitching is addictive...love it! I've done an Angels Story already...yippeeeee...but would love to do A Family Gathering. Maybe I should finish this one first!
Keep up the great work...you are inspiring!
