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....

I've started.....finally!

Well, I've chosen my thread, traced my first stitchery, and started stitching!

I don't know if you can see the subtle variegation in the thread, I tried a close-up, but it's a bit fuzzy.
The Cottage Garden Thread is gorgeous! The colours are stunning.
Ok, I'd better get stitching!
Have a wonderful weekend, Everyone! SandyH

Loving your threads. Wish I'd found darker thread now but I still like mine with a bit of green in it...
