1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March. 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....March 2010 -March 2011...........
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.........

It's never too late!
Hey Chooky! look Here!! I've finally finished the GJ top!! I just need to buy some batting and finish it once and for all, I'm on the home stretch, it's only 2 years late! Thank-you for the whip cracking encouragement, it truly does help.
I just stumbled across this group and spotted your lovely GJ quilt, how gorgeous it looks. I have only just started stitching this and I'm way too late for any SAL but I just wanted to say thanks so much for sharing your photo. I'm still on the first block so it will be a loooong time before mine looks anything like finished!
OMG finally we have a top lucky I am sitting down otherwise I may have hurt myself falling over..........LOL.........your not 2 years late only one...........come on lets see it finished now onto the quilting and binding........go for it Jo.........its beautiful........i'll crack the whip to get it finished now........
