Tis the season to share the secret for 2011....
............and here it is..............
this is the cutest little book.....
....20 x 11cm (8 x 4.5inchs)
You know I have been thinking about this for quite awhile but as soon as I saw this I knew it was the new project.
Low cost for the pattern as it is in a book. (not numerous expensive patterns to purchase)
The book is easily available.
You could raid your stash etc
Several other cute projects in the book.
There are 13 stitcheries in total but the main project a quilt measures 33 x 41 inchs.
&&&&
EVERYONE will be able to keep up..............well that is if anyone wants to join me..........
Besides the quilt other projects include - bag, wallhanging, scrapbook album, hanging pocket and a little cushion
I got a little carried away this afternoon when Mr Chookyblue managed to get the mail and I have stitched this little one up...........the birdies need eyes and I have yet to wash out the marker but I was too excited to wait to show you...........DMC 304 red thread as I didn't have DMC 221 as Natalie used.
So now for the plan...........we'll start in March and run for 6 months......be finished before the festive sewing swings into action...........and I could have it finished for Christmas 2011...........
&&&&
&&&&
I have already purchased 2 books but I am putting this info here for you so I don't have to answer the questions later.
WHERE CAN YOU GET IT...........

As with when I started the current project I am happy to stitch away on my own but know a few of you will join me. I will have to update the members of this current Stitch-a-long in the new year so will send out an email then to see who's in and who wants to step out.............
Also if you currently just following this blog and want to join I will sort all that out in January February.
Once I have finished the SSCS stuff on my blog.
Happy Stitching................hope your not being washed away where you are...............still raining here........
Catch you later..............

Great idea Chooky! Count me in!!
And it has finally stopped raining here on the east coast south of Sydney (for a short while I think!) Thinking of you stranded in at home over there and thinking about how much stitching you might be doing????
I had been thinking that one of Natalie Bird's pattern might have been a good candidate - maybe the Sweet Sentiments one or the older All Creature's great and Small ( which would have been good as I already own it) However this one is certainly up my alley. So it looks like I'll be around for another year. Just have to keep stitching my GJ in the mean time. And with school holidays coming up I might even make a trip over to the shop and buy it there. SOunds like fun.
Count me in! I hope they can send me the book to Portugal!!!
Thanks for these GREAT idea!!
See you...
Sofia
Count me in Chooky

Sounds like a great idea, Chooky, though after putting all the decos up this week, I really shouldn't be making any more! Still I do love Christmas and would love to Stitch-a-long again next year.
Oh that looks do-able! Love Natalie's designs so count me in.
Count me in! Thread and Ginger is one of my local shops, I will hint furiously to the family of my need to have this book for Christmas! LOL

I haven1t sewed with you in the past but after my friend Dawn told me about your blog I`m hooked so I would love to join the TIS THE SEASON stitch along and have already told DH to get me the book for Xmas.
Of course count me in :)
Count me in....it's been great to get the GJ quilt top done with the group.....I ahve been working on some of Natalie's Christmas stitcheries but wont get them finished for this Christmas I don't think....
I'm the frined of Kokina... and yes, I would partecipate, too... :-)
Count me in. This one looks like lots of larger pieces. Those 1 1/2 inchers take forever. But, I am finished and it is at the quilters. Thanks for organizing again! Have a perfect Christmas everyone! Lee
Cool! I think I might join this Group next year.... This book is SO nice! Got a heap ordered, should be here next week.

I knew I bought this book for a reason - it was whipped in to my bag as soon as I saw it.
I really thought I'd left a comment on this post... I'm in Chooky.. I must have known something as I bought this book before you even chose it. Cool.... I'm ready. Hope I can make better progress than last year.. there is always hope!!!!
As my friend Joy in AU just sent me this pattern book I need to be "in" too--I love all these designs and can't wait to join in--in the meantime I do have a few thousand ufo's to finish===!!!!!

Hi Chooky,
I've been watching your current stitch-a-long for several weeks now. Wish I had known about it a year ago, but, at least after much bartering, finally found the pattern here in the States. :)
You ladies are AMAZING! May I join you in the March stitch-a-long? I already have the new pattern and background fabric.
Elisa in Ferndale, Michigan
Am I too late, or can I still join? (A perfect apology to buy the book, lol)
I would LOVE to join in too... As soon as Natalie has this quilt on her blog... I knew I had to have it and order a copy from her....

I just purchaseed my book for Christmas Stitch Can i Join!
Deb E
Okay. Bought the book today (I found a patchwork shop!) and this one I want to do. Pretty sure I will be able to keep up with this one so can I join? I am even in a stitching mood!
I bought the book yesterday and think I might be able to keep up. Is it too late to join??
I have never been in a stitch-a-long group, but now I want to try. So count me in this one. I have ordered the book from Natalies website today. So in a week or so I'm ready. Thanks
I was wondering if it is too late to join you all? I already have the book, and it won't take long to get the fabrics and threads together.
Cheers
Vicky :-)
Is it too late to join in? I already have the pattern and plan to do it anyway but it would be great fun to stitch along with others!
just got the book can I join?
Hi Chooky! I'm Nancy and I saw your stitch a long on Pegs Happy In Quilting Blog and wondered if it's too late to join in? I don't have a blog and I don't yet have the pattern...but I DO have some fabric selections in mind and hope to get started soon. I've had some health issue so I don't know if I'll be able to catch up and keep up but I would love to try. This is such a delightful quilt. Hugs...
Hi Chookyblue, I am a late starter but love to be a part of the action.
Hi Chookyblue,
I am a late starter and would love to be part of the action.
Im sure im to late to join in :(
Im a quick stitcher and could catch up but need to find the pattern in the UK or get one sent over, its sooooo frustrating beng over here :(
Hi Chooky, It has been forever since you have heard from me on the Tis the Season SAL. I just wanted to let you know that I have FINALLY finished all the stitched blocks and the quilt is assembled and ready for some light quilting and binding. I will be emailing you a photo as soon as I have it hanging up for the Holidays/Winter. I'm so excited, this actually my first stitchery quilt and though it was interrupted with surgeries that took me out of sewing for two years, I have slowly worked to get it finished. More coming to you very soon. Hugs....
