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

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.........
Where are we now.....
4th SAL 2013...is numerous smaller projects from the previous 2 books Tis the Season and Some Kind of Wonderful plus some projects from Red Home by Natalie Bird approx 60 ladies stitching together.........

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!
