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.........

ABC cat

Hello my stitching friends.
I`ve started my `True Friends` tote bag from `Red Home` book.
I`m stitching the stitchery for that but as it`s a surprise for a friend
I will only show how far I`m on mine. 
I will show the other once received.
The front of the bag with the back showing slightly
underneath. 


My stitchery is ABC cat from the quilt in the book.
As you can see I`ve stitched all of the pattern
 as I thought this looked better for my bag.
My thread is `Threadworx` 1089.
I`m using `Lumiere de Noel` French General .
Loving how this is coming together.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.
