1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March.

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.........

Decisions, Decisions...Finally...Fabric!...

Finally, a decision on fabrics...these two bundles of fabrics from my stash have been with the book trying to inspire me about what to use...
tsy Bitsy by Renee Nanneman of Need'l Love for Andover Fabrics
Where the Wind Blows by Melanie Hurlston of Melly & Me for Creative Abundance...
the decision is both...generally Itsy Bitsy for the backgrounds/cream/beige prints...Where the Wind Blows for the applique...of course bits and bobs may interchange along the way...Itsy Bitsy has resided in the sewing room for quite some time as have a couple of pieces of Where the Wind Blows, in August when I went to Urban Stitches I was coerced into buying the bundle of Where the Wind Blows...OK not so much coerced as when I asked my so called friends not to let me buy it even though it was on special and a great bargain, they all rebelled and convinced me that I needed it!...apparently I did...for this quilt!!!  I've a couple of Cosmo Seasons variegated threads in the floss stash which I'm thinking just may be right for the stitchery/embroidery.

Now to wash the WTWB bundle.
