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........Not taking any new participants now sorry....

A Gardeners Journal Progress

Hi there fellow Stitch-A-Longers!   

I believe I'm running about a year behind schedule on this one, but here is my final block of A Gardener's Journal.......



And here it is with all my blocks joined ..... now for some borders and then the quilting!!


By then I might be able to start thinking about My Favourite Things, but I'll be practising some more needleturn applique before then!  Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration in 2011, it was fantastic to finish my Tis the Season quilt (and on time even. lol) and to get this far on AGJ before the end of the year!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas ......... see you back here in 2012!

Nicky
