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.........

Ta-Da...finished March

Just in the nick of time!!!....
With all the excitement of going to GDITC at Nundle last weekend, I nearly forgot to complete my pin cushion....But here it is!




 Kate won this little pack of Savonnerie fabric at Nundle and very generously gave it to me.
I love this range...have had pieces of it for years but never used it (as you do) until I dragged it out to do a thread catcher and then the pincushion ......I never even knew its name!...such a coincidence!
Thanks Kate...you'll see more of it in projects to come.

I used Kris's technique of putting doll beads in ....but mine ended up a little skew whiff! and weighted on one side....OH well I guess it will be good to throw at my husband!!

I'd better check what we have to do for April...Have a lovely Easter everyone.
