2015 SAL..............

Who knew we would be back here for 2015 when all this started with a couple of friends in 2010............but wow we sure do have lots more friends now all around the world..........

its friends that keep us going........

Many quilts and small projects have been made just because friends got together online and supported each other..........I am so pleased we are able to sew together once again in 2015...........

I did have a plan for 2014 but it was just not possible for me to run a SAL in 2014.

For those of you wanting numerous small projects you may not be happy............for those of you wanting one project right now you will be cheering and very happy as we are going for one big project..............

Any ideas yet????

It will run from Feb to Sept

What I have chosen is yet to be released but I know it will be released VERY VERY soon...........

It involves appliqué (machine, hand, needle turn,  or blanket stitch), English paper piecing, machine piecing, stitchery

Any ideas yet????

The monthly plan will go upon the side bar...........

also there will be a logo as soon as I get a photo........

I had a photo but I want something better to use for the logo.............

I will email it out to everyone once I make it.............

Any ideas yet?????

So I know you are all dying to know what we are doing.............

Really wanting to see the project.........

What have I chosen.............

Will I ever announce this new project.............

Have I enjoyed teasing all of you..........

Yes of course..............

Lol..............

Any ideas yet?????

Ok wait a minute as you need time to fill in January as I know you will be “chomping at the bit” (over seas girls translation =  very excited)  to get started on something I need to tell you what we will do in January first.............Anni Downs Hatched and Patched released a free Christmas Stitchery on her blog/newsletter http://hatchedandpatched.typepad.com/hatchedandpatched/2014/12/a-free-pattern-for-christmas.html

.........it’s optional but if you would like to get started on a great little project go ahead.....

Ok

The

Project

For

2015

Woops some more info for you............

You will need to get a new pattern.............the cost is approx $40 AUD............this is not available yet as you have to wait until it is released which will be very soon as I have been speaking with the designer and she is very happy for us to use this for the 2015 SAL...............
I will do another post here once it is released............

Any ideas yet????

If people want to they can sign up for a BOM but I will be using my stash and I encourage all of you to use your stash......pretty sure no one could tell me they don’t have enough fabric in their stash..........I will only need a bit more in the background fabrics............

Any ideas yet????

Basically to start with you will need to do about 1 block a week............gosh I hope I can manage that.............

Everyone is welcome to join us..........but you do need to be a blogger ( NOT fb or ig)............there is a limited number able to join the SAL blog.........as I commit to run the blog and Susan has committed to help me you need to commit to posting your progress each month and participating in the blog by posting at least once a month and commenting to encourage everyone else who joins in......you don’t need to comment on every post bit it would be supportive if you commented on some.............otherwise we are just wasting each others time.............

I will have a list of participants on the sidebar and will update progress as we go along.............

I picked this SAL as soon as I got a sneak peek at it about 6 weeks ago..............

Any ideas yet????
