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.........
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.........

50 sleeps and stitching...........

Hey
Cracking the whip has had some response.........still too much silence but some wow too.........Dzintra has finished her last GJ block..........Cathy only has one to go..........
in the current SAL we have Pat and Suzitee showing us their quilt tops...........
So that hunted me back to the sewing machine to show some more progress..............I got some more blocks appliqued today.......don't have some colours in machine threads but Khris has come to the rescue and she is going to get some for me...........
I love the effect on the back too...............
Keep Stitching............

Hey Donna are you using blanket stitch on the machine to applique...I like that idea...certainly would speed things up a bit...I might do that too!
