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

Pink and Mint

My book arrived just in time!! 

I have chosen to go with some 'oldie' fabrics
that I have held onto for quite sometime;
just waiting for the perfect project.
I think I've found it!!

The far right light pink will be my background.

I ordered some floss from an Etsy shop.
It is hand dyed and hand painted.

I think this green will look nice on the pink background.

I am not afraid of it bleeding;
I've hand dyed fabric using the same process.
She sure has has pretty colors.

Happy that your book finally arrived...I think this will look great and I can't wait to see your first block.
I was up to the wee hours doing the handwork for GJ but I finished..photo soon....I did manage to get the outline of one Snowman and some letters stitched on the TTS.
Happy Stitching,
Mama Bear
