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!
