Stitch-A-Long - - - - -: Greetings from Finland: March's Goal is Reached

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....

Greetings from Finland: March's Goal is Reached

Tadaa!!!

There they are my first ones for TTS.

Because I have earlier stitched Christmas Joy block, I replaced Tis the Season with it. I'll do it in June.

I'm embroidering with Atalie's hand-dyed thread. I'm absolutely pleased with it, but yet I wanted little bit more intense to the blocks.

So I stitched the stars of 'Bon Noel Birdies' block with DMC's yellow and gold (1 strand of both colour).

Now they slightly glitter...

I stitched my GJ in different colors and it has been an awakening to do these in only one...I thought the stars needed to be done in gold...so happy to see I wasn't the only one.
