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 actually finished a block off, finally.



I was feeling a little despondent today about my progress this week (in life generally, not just TTS) and decided to get moving and actually finish a block or three. So here they are. My stitching has happened in seemingly no particular order and I have a bunch of other blocks already stitched waiting for similar block treatment. I also visited a patchwork shop this week and bought some more thread and fabric to make another of these quilts. I seem to be powering through the stitcheries and enjoying it enormously and felt I would miss it if I had finished (stop laughing all those of you who know me in real life!!!) and you guys were still going. Look out for more finishes!

I started out like you with a bunch o stitcheries traced on one piece of cloth like that and then realized I had them to close together..I like what you've done so far...they are fun to do.

I love the idea of you putting all the stitchery on one piece and then cutting them out like that! I am wishing why I did not think of this.... I have purchased a little heavier fabric for stitching but I need the sun to come to trace as my light box is not working that well.
