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....

Slowly making progress

I  finished the ice cream from Feb's to do list in January
last night I finally got the time to
do the prep work for the

'Hot chocolate'
and
'A good book'

I managed to get the applique on both
done with just the feature stitching left

Today I managed to get the prep work done for March's
block's

'Home' and 'Flowers'

and the remaining blocks are all traced onto freezer paper
and cut out, makes it much easier for me to
keep on track.

I have decided just to keep going with the quilt
until its done, it keeps my mind and hands busy
with no real time to dwell on the big scary stuff that
is happening within my immediate family :(

Hope thats ok Chooky and Kris

I'll post pics as soon as Feb's blocks are
finished (hopefully tomorrow)

It doesnt sound like its good stuff at all, but hopefully the sewing will be a bit of distraction. Sending you a big hug!
