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.........

It's August and I am stitching the August block - woo hoo!!

I have finally got myself together and am back on track with the SAL.......I pieced all the blocks a while ago and have been trying to catch up on the stitcheries .......with a concerted effort during this week I am there.....stitching the August block in August!! 



I was determined to catch up after a slow and interrupted start - thanks Chooky for the occasional "reminder"...couldn't have done it without you!

GASP! Those colours! LOVE them so very much Lorraine. I'm assuming from the previous comments that they are all from the Garden Party range? Perfect with the red stitching...gorgeous job!

Your blocks are beautiful! Has anyone stopped to count how many pieces of fabric we are putting into this? I counted one block and it was over 40 pieces...and I gave up!! It is probably better not to know?? Have a great week.
