Stitch-A-Long - - - - -: Quilted - Bound

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........Not taking any new participants now sorry....

Quilted - Bound - Hanging (almost!!)

Here it is: showing you my completely finished A GARDENER`S JOURNAL.

Great guys holding the GJ: my DH and his friend both hidden behind.
They are off to a Sunday fishing trip on the ice. Only -25 Celsius on
this specific lake,that is -13 Fahrenheit. Bet they enjoy themselves!!!

So this journey has come to an end :-(
But as a new one is on its way,I am happy as can be :-)
It has been lovely knowing you. Take Care so long and
I`ll be seeing some of you approx.on March 1st.

Brooke said...: Truly an amazing accomplishment. It is spectacular. Where will you display this masterpiece?

I get the biggest kick out of how many men regularly appear on quilt blogs hiding behind quilts. Nearly every quilt we see here in blog land has a little row of knuckles above it. The snow boots are a nice touch. :); Monday, 14 February, 2011
