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
Where are we now.....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............Welcome.....Chookyblue

Are you ready?

Wooohoooo...only one sleep to go! Are you all ready to start stitching on our new SAL??

I have to admit, it took me awhile to sign up for this one...I was ummming and ahhhing over colours, and whether I'd have time, and blah blah blah...and then I came across this...

...sweet images from Tilda's Christmas Ideas, and the decision was made in an instant. I have a thing for bright colours and if there's red and pink...all the better!

Most of the fabrics are from Rosalie Quinlan's Sweet Broderie collection, with some red polkadots and other fabrics thrown in for good measure. I'm planning to stitch the blocks in either red or pink too...yummmm!
I'm loving seeing all your piles of fabrics and threads coming together...there are going to be some gorgeous wallhangings come December :)
Let the fun begin...again!
