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

Meg did make the deadline.......

I am so excited to again be involved with the SAL, it is such an inspiring group with so many talented stitchers.  Thankyou again Chookyblue for organising another year.  I have enjoyed all the projects so far so much, I promise to stay on track this year .....

Stitch A Long Progress
Tonight (yes cutting the deadline too closely) I have managed to complete the Thread Catcher.  Wow, how cute and easy.  I have to make some more, they will look great in my studio scattered around my machines.  I think I also need one for travelling, I love to stitch while we are driving on holidays.  It was so hard to know what fabric to use, I have used my favourite red spot fabric and a scrap from my stash.  My girls want one for their bedrooms, I think I am going to be busy.

I am wanting to make the Shoe Bag, here is my fabric and I didn’t make the  deadline (it is now 10.30pm WA time, I’m pooped).  I am still going to make it as I like it so much.
Stitch A Long Progress


Happy stitching and I am tracing the stitchery for the next project tomorrow.


Hugs Meg

PS Meg sent me this email late late late last night.............so she made the deadline...........Chookyblue
