Although I have been very quiet over the year, I have been following the posts. I have had several curved balls thrown into my life to slow me down with my blocks/quilt.
I had to order my book from New Zealand as I could not buy the book from any shop in England. Then I had to travel to several shops to find the right colour thread. As I live in a rural village, this meant travelling to the nearest city of Plymouth. I have been stitching slowly but I feel that my work is not as nice as all my fellow bloggers. All your quilts are wonderful.
I am really enjoying making this quilt. I would like to thank Chookyblue for all her encouragement and patience.
2010 A Gardener's Journal by Anni Downs..... 2011 Tis the Season by Natalie Bird.... 2012 Some Kind Of Wonderful by Anni Downs......
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....

great to see your progress Deborah.........i'm sure your stitching is fine......we are always more critical of our own stitching.........
Dont be so hard on yourself, your blocks look fine and will make a lovely quilt.
your work is lovely, Nice to meet a stitch from the UK, I'm from Coventry.
Have a nice day...
Wait to you put the borders on Deborah, then they will look as great as any of the others. You did have a struggle getting supplies just to get started but it will be well worth it. Tracee xx
YOur stitching looks great! Well done! As Tracee said... once the borders are you you'll notice how lovely they are! :)
I'm with everyone else, your stitching is great! And it does look so different once you have the borders on too. Be proud!
Your work looks beautiful! Don't be too critical, because there is no need to.
Your stitching looks great!
Personally, I like the Primitive aspect of these little pictures and they turn out so well.
Sorry about all the problems getting started. I live in the states and had to order my book from AU too. I just used regular embroidery threat which was easy to find and bought fat quarters for the blocks.
Hope to see more of your work soon.
