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

I HAVE SOME FABRIC AND A BOOK

I have been very busy with my Xmas sewing and visiting my daughter and her family in NSW as well as having a relaxing break at the beach with another daughter and her family that I have not had time to start the stitch-a-long. 14 more placemats to go and then I can begin.


 

 These are the fabrics I have chosen to use along with the cream ones from my stash. The fabrics were bought at the craft fair in November and my hands have been caressing them and are eager to start cutting. Hopefully I can start in a week or two.

My dear friend Dawn has surprised me with a copy of the "SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL" for my birthday and I cant thank her enough for this generous gift. I have been drooling over the book every day just waiting to start, but I must finish the placemats first. Cheers for now Jude from judesstuff.

Beautiful fabrics. I can't wait to see your blocks as you progress. I'm like you - have the book and some fabric, but no start yet. School finishes this week so hopefully, next week will see me sewing madly.
