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.........

Fabric Choices

Here are my fabric choices
Astor Manor, cream shirtings with blue print. another 3 pieces are on their way along with more of these 3 as i'd only bought 25cm pieces. The shirtings weren't intended for this quilt but i thought they'd be ideal. Just have to buy 4 more backgrounds for the pink based Anni Used.

Happy Stitching,

I haven't really seen much of this pattern until today when I went over to Anni's Blog. I like the polka dot fabric she used for some of her backgrounds. Yours are lovely.
