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....

Tis the season in the flesh!

I am in Qld for the meeting of the Gum Tree girls and we got to visit Thread and Ginger which is Natalie Bird's shop. It is adorable and as we walked in there it was right next to the door, in the flesh 'Tis the Season'...I was so excited and bought a couple of fabrics to go with mine, but I promise Chooky that I will finish this month my GJ and the two 'TIS'  blocks..... Happy Stitching from sunny QLD...he he..... its been pouring with rain the whole time..LOL
