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........

sorry no pics...........

I've been playing around sorting out the blog.............updating the sidebar etc........emailed a few people to see if they are making any progress..............finding my way around in the new look blogger dashboard.......sent a few feedbacks re the new style....(any issues send feedback - from the dashboard click on the wheel/cog in the top right corner)

.....for people who manage a group blog it isn't so good on that page as in telling you how many people are members now and to add people it doesn't look like you can get into your email contacts from there either.............

Just discovered that the SAL blog was changed to only people who were members or something like that to view so I have changed it back to "anyone"..........sorry if you haven't been able to look.............

Hope to get some more blocks traced today..........
cloudy and drab here so will stay chilly again...........

Great to see all the fantastic progress.......
.....a few of the other projects from the book popping up and they look great.......

aNd if your a bit behind..............get moving i'm cracking the whip....I want to see progress on the TTS and for those on the GJ bust a move..........not long til the end now...........

off to crack the whip on my own SAL.......
Happy stitching............Chookyblue

I've just started a group blog Chooky, I noticed that another thing that happens is when a member clicks on the invitation email link the blog reverts back to Invited readers only, bit frustrating as then I get emails from people saying they can't view the blog.
