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

Finally I can get started!

I didnt think I would ever make up my mind to what fabric I wanted to use for Some Kind Of Wonderful quilt. I loved Annie's and I saw it hanging up at the AQM yesterday and realised that this fabulous range of fabric called Lil' Rascals by Chloe's Closet for Moda was just perfect for it as its fun like the quilt. 



All the right colours and tones ...MMmmmm....but I still have to find some background fabric and I will do as soon as I unpack this bundle of FQ's.
I got it at the AQM yesterday and am so pleased that I can finally get started on Some Kind Of Wonderful and won't be left behind.
Annie is sending me the book and I asked her to sign it for me before she posted it and she said she would... How special is that?
But I have a bit of catching up to do but I will get there.
I promise Chooky!
hugs to all.....

One of the hardest things about a quilt is done - now on with the preparation - then its smooth sailing and as Sharon says - hard to stop sometimes.
