1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March.

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.........

Thank you! And thanks to Ctou too, Chookyblue!
@Suzitee I'm going to stitch with DMC221, like the book suggests: I think it's a very interesting colour! I tested it here: http://ilblogdipepe.blogspot.com/2011/01/gli-asiugamani-per-gli-ospiti.html
