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

I'm thinking the SAL for next year may be projects from this book.................
lots of stitchery and applique...........
I don't want to show to much yet as this book is just about to hit the shops but it is gorgeous...........AND I don't want to ruin the surprises for you..............
Keep Stitching............

I agree with Holly - glad we're going another round! I'm not an appliquer, but there's been so many amazing tutorials lately (check out today's Stash Manicure) that I'm willing to try it again :)

Kris said...

I tried to leave a comment on this yesterday, but either blogger or I had a big fail! Yes! I want in on this. Don't know what it will be like, but how could you resist something called, "Some Kind of Wonderful"?

*sigh*

I am so excited about this book. I received it a few weeks ago and don't know which project to start first. I would really like to join in the next group project, do I need to register, what do I need to do xxx Meg
