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.........

I love the label. I have an extra one of those so I might copy your idea. I've not ever done the meandering but want to try it.
Your finished quilt is just wonderful.

It looks wonderful! You should be so happy. It gives me inspiration to keep on stitching.
Thank you so much ladies for all your kind comments, please realise that if it wasn't for this SAL the quilt just wouldn't be finished. I think the idea of stitching with others is just awesome and exactley the kick in the but I needed to make me complete it - so it's thatnks to all of you.

I have to agree Miche'le...this group is such an encouragement! When I read your "what next?" comment, I was secretly wishing that Chooky will organise another SAL in the new year...this has been such fun!
Congrats! And now enjoy it on your sofa!:-) Lucky you...
Congratulations with your finished quilt. You have made it so beautiful. I agree with your thoughts about how to do the quilting. I already have the same thoughts and I can tell you I am not good in quilting and awful afraid of it. But you did it well.
