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.........

Phew...who would have known that stripping is so fun after all!

Wow, I got started and couldnt stop.  Here is row one...I think this was due last January Chooky but here we go...please mark me as completed for row one.  Row two will follow very shortly.  I think Noni approves as she wanted to be included on my picture. LOL
It is hard to take a good picture, maybe I should take photography lessons next?!  Row two will follow...maybe even tomorrow night.  Until then...happy stitching!

Hello Martine. Thank you for visiting my blog and following me!! So nice. You participate the Christman Swap!! Joepie!
I see that you made the Gardener's Journal. I made it also. The sandwich is ready and I am busy to quilt it. During the time of making, I made a special fantasy story about it.
You are making wonderul things!
Love from Holland.
