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.........

Hello from a Newbie

Good morning ladies,

Hi, I am Sharon and I am so pleased to be able to join you all in the next Stitch-a-long.  I have been watching every ones progress and you have all made and are making some wonderful quilts.  I am looking forward to sharing the journey of this next one with you all.  I have ordered my book and as soon as it arrives I am off to pick some fabrics.  Looking forward to seeing every ones choices.

Happy stitching,

Sharon

Hi! I am looking forward to seeing everyone's fabrics for the new SAL. I am thinking I will go "shopping" for my fabrics in my stash. I might need a couple of new fabrics though...

Welcome and be sure and show your fabric when you get it...It is so much fun to see how different all of the quilts look....On the first quilt, the GJ, I swapped a few swatches with some other members. It made the quilt even more sentimental to me.
