I was very excited this am to read that I am now able to join the S-A-L group of eager sewing ladies. I had enquired about joining, but realised I had to have a blog. With Chooky's very patient assisitance, I now have a blog and am learning to do posts, take photos to add to the blog etc.
So now I can start on the quilt as well. I had actually bought the book at the Darling Harbour quilt show in June 2011--- put it aside to one day start the quilt! Now I have no excuse but to start the quilt.
I will have to look at my fabric stash--- which is growing everytime I look at it-- and choose my fabrics.
I am looking forward to joining a lovely bunch of ladies with the same interests.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of the group.
Cheers,
Yvonne
