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....

Fabric choices...and first block

I finally decided on the fabrics to use......and decided to use just two......but might have to modify as I don't have enough of the paisley for the border......it's an old Three Sisters fabric Peace on Earth - pattern #3922 Paisley on Red (just in case someone has a piece they want to swap/sell).......anyhoo...happy with the block I have finished....just need to keep stitching now........
'Til next time.....Lorraine
