1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March. 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....March 2010 -March 2011...........
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...............
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.........
Where are we now.....
4th SAL 2013...is numerous smaller projects from the previous 2 books Tis the Season and Some Kind of Wonderful plus some projects from Red Home by Natalie Bird approx 60 ladies stitching together.........
2014 we had the year off..............
5th SAL 2015..........inspired to continue we are doing another quilt project.....Anni Downs newest quilt Natures Journey.....
6th SAL 2017.............A Holly Cottage Christmas by Michelle Ridgway.......once again the pattern is in an affordable book so it is easy for everyone to join in...........and you can raid your stash for the fabrics........or lash out and buy a the whole lot........this SAL will be run by Fiona aka Bubz Rugz and Raewyn........

Almost finished!

Its been quite cool at night so to keep my fingers
busy I have almost finished 'Tis the Season'
All my blocks are stitched and all I need to do
is assemble and quilt it. I did tweak a few as my hubby
is not very kind with anything to do with Father Christmas
So I changed any blocks with reference to him. 
I was pleased and hubby quite likes it...
At least he won't complain with it hanging up for a few months a year...LOL.
 I am thinking of hand quilting it like the original but may machine stitch it yet!

Thanks Chooky for the push to get this finished...he he
 Now to finish my Gardeners Journal...
before you post another lovely stitchery quilt...hint hint. 

Happy Stitching All!

Great job, Dawn! It looks excellent! I'd recommend hand quilting it! (I do love hand quilting though!) I'm almost done handquilting mine and it does have a lovely handmade effect!
