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.........

My GJ quilt is finished totally...quilted & bound. Thanks to the superorganised & motivational Chookyblue I finished an already started project...and even managed to surprise her with it at Nundle last weekend...it is not often the Chook is lost for words ( only briefly though!).
Thankyou to all you inspirational stitchers...I am enjoying watching your progress!

That is so pretty...I know you feel a sense of accomplishment having finished...I have mine hanging in the studio with the 4 or 5 blocks sewn together..I bought borders this week and am anxious to see what it looks like with them on...

Stitched With Prayer said...

Oh my gosh, that is just so delightful and beautiful. I have fallen in love with stitchery quilts since I started stitching while recovering from surgery. This one in particular, though there are many more that are certainly calling (well actually screaming, LOL) my name but just have other priorities right now. Like...medical expenses (ugh) thanks the Good Lord I have insurance and am able to pay them when so many can't. I count my blessings. But that doesn't mean I can't wish, *sigh*. Well done!!!
