1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March 2010. We have set the time frame as completed March 2011. 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................
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

More From A Gardener's Journal

My Gardener's Journal Quilt is still just a top, haven't made any progress on it since last I posted, however, I wanted to share this bag I made using the instructions in the book.




I lined it with the Mary Engelbreit fabric used in the border around the embroidery piece. Click to see close up.

I love the bag! The projects in the book are all very do-able. It is what makes this book a great buy.

It is a lovely bag and a good idea. Hopefully I find some time to make some of the projects when the quilt is finished.

The stitchery you chose is my favorite amongst the ones in the book. Aren't they just cute! I love everything Mary Engelbreit. Her fabrics are so adorable and bright. Your bag is ready for shopping. Lee
