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

CHANGE OF COTTON

I stitched my first 3 blocks and really loved them and then I saw in another post a beautiful red/green thread used and thought, wow I really like that. So I asked my good friend Dawn to order me some from the USA as I am not confident to do it myself and then I could start my stitcheries again. Ididnt want to waste the originals soI have made them into a wall hanging for one of my DDs for Xmas. It has turned out very well and now I will make some more as gifts. Luckily I love to do stitcheries and these are very quick and easy to do. My thread is here so off now to cut more fabric and find new colours for my borders.
This is the wall hanging and I think it looks great.

Cheers for now, Jude from judes stuff.
