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.........

And the journey begins...

Hi! I'm very excited to join in this year's Stitch-a long. For my quilt, I'm going to use a couple of Martinique layer cakes with a few extra fabric's thrown in.



I'm going to try my hand at hand applique, and we'll see how I go. Here's my first little block..


And I know I messed up the words...I was trying to save time by not searching for my light box...sigh...

Now onto a cup of tea (which I think I might end up being a cup of coffee as I'm addicted to the stuff!)

Look forward to stitching a long with you all.

Welcome...like you first block....I thought I would make the cup of chocolate a cup of coffee which is more appropriate to 'my favorite things'...

Beautiful fabrics. I can't decide between tea or coffee, good thing I haven't started yet. xx

The fabrics are gorgeous and I really like the dotty background fabric too! (I want a lightbox, my arm gets so sore at the window!).
