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...........

There's slow and steady...

..and then there is just slow.
I thought I would be able to keep up with the schedule for Tis the Season but, alas, I hit a snag early on and progress has been slower than intended- a little embarrassing especially when I see how many of you are putting yours together now. I will have to get a move on but in the meantime here are 4 of my completed stitcheries (a quick photo )
I have decided to leave the borders until I finish all the stitcheries as I am unsure of how I want to finish them.

Four down, that's a third of the way with the stitcheries Lyn. There are so many ideas on the blogs for borders, colours etc, I've wanted to change my mind at least a dozen times. Tracee xx
