Hi Girls
Hope those needles have been busier then mine..............
Just an update here..............sorry for delays in updating everything etc
Kris Life at Rosemary Hill got the blog job............
she has been great.............so your posts will get a comment from me or Kris sometimes both of us if all is going well..............I got a little snowed under but finally the sidebar is updated.
&&&
A couple of girls have dropped off..........one doing the quilt with an offline group (different goal posts to ours) and the other 2 have decided they have other stuff they need to get done instead. Which is fine with me just let me know if things have changed. These changes freed up a few spots on the SAL blog.
I found my waiting list and added a few new girls to the blog..........also added a couple more girls to the waiting list...........
welcome to the new girls...........
&&&&
&&&
Now the "WHIP" is being "CRACKED"........me especially........I have started but not made much progress so hoping that will change very soon.........the last month or so has been a blur...............when I was updating the sidebar I went from the 17th Dec to now and there are LOTS of girls who haven't done posts...........some have been great sharing there progress..........lots of motivation but really being part of the SAL is being part of the blog and get a post up once or twice a month would be fantastic.................
SO PLEASE GET A POST UP.......
&&&&
now in all the updating there aren't many people up to date at all...............we need to get moving and keep up with the goals as this is a BIG quilt with lots of work and I am not going to be here in 2 years time trying to get you finished.
The deadline is OCTOBER 2012 (not 2013 or 2014).........
I know you can do it..............trust me being part of the SAL is the only way I am going to get this done...............being accountable to you girls..............I am too scared not to get it done...........lol
SO HOW DO I UPDATE THE SIDEBAR
the goals are written on the left sidebar and more importantly there is a simple photo to show you what has to be done each month. I only update the sidebar when I see the section as per the sidebar.
There has been lots of blocks popping up here and there but we I don't mark that off until I see the sections done....................
Also if you could let me know if I have made any mistakes updating the sidebar..................
It was wonderful to see a couple of finished Tis the Season Quilts............one finished Gardener's Journal quilt and a couple made it to the top stage.............it is so exciting................
The best part is seeing every enjoying their stitching on the quilts...........everyone giving it a go and learning something.............well done and keep up the great stitching...............

Kids back to school today. Hoping to get some of my sections together this week. Appliqué done. Great job you guys are doing. Thanks for keeping us motivated.
That's it! I'm getting a move on!!! Am so close to having December done, must just get it together.
I've just started to get myself organised so I can get stuck in. I've chosen most of my fabrics, washed them all, today I iron them & tomorrow I'm off to buy some vliesofix. I hope it's 'working' again, I know it went through a bad patch!
I've loved looking at what others have done, there are some beautiful tops coming together.
Oooops, I got it so wrong didn't I? My blocks were done but I didn't know/realise, that I was supposed to put the sections together - bugger, I'll have to start looking at other fabrics.
cheers, Miche'le
Oops ... I haven't done my side dashing bits either! I hate to be behind so I had better get onto that! They're all cut and ready to sew together, but I was planning to do them when I had a couple of full rows completed. Thanks for letting us know Chooky... I'm onto it!
Well its good you are back - and back cracking the whip!! I will get busy with finishing mine for january (still pondering that D- Daisy)
I've been dreading the whip!!!.....I must get back onto my blocks....adding all the little squares to each section is going to be difficult for me as I am a perfectionist and like to see the whole quilt layed out to ensure a good spread of colours....eeek....any suggestions ???...maybe I need to divide the colours into packets???? But don't worry Chooky, I'll catch up....
Oh, Chookyblue, I admit... I'm a such rebel - again?! Because I'm gonna sew first sashing stripes not until I have seen (=got) some Papillon yards for them. I'm afraid it won't before end of February. And I think this quilt is so laborious that I would like to do it purrfect ;) Sorry, if I'm so troublesome... BUT I swear that my quilt is finished October 2012!
Great, Chookyblue! Yu're so great! Tha SAL is a wonderful way to have the quilt done! Great aid to finish it!
I looked at the sidebar, of course, I've not January because I didn't sew the left side. I left it because I didn't know how to sew it, but since I finished also february's blocks, I can finish also January. Few days and you'll see it.
Thankyou for your job and enthousiasm, and thanhyou to Kris!!
Hugs
