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

First time

Hello,

My name is Oddbjørg, and I live in the northern part of Norway. I live out in the country. I'm married, and we have 4 children. They all have left home, and live in other parts of the country; the eldest daughter lives in Sweden.
I have been doing patchwork/quilting for some time now, and I really enjoy it. I also like to knit and weave.
This is the first time I join SAL with Ckooky. I think this will be quite exciting, and I look forward to have a beautiful quilt in the end of the year. I do hope I manage to keep the deadlines. But with so many participants, we can cheer each other to do our best.
I'm tempted to do the free stitchery for January. But I have some (many) UFO's I want to make progress on, so may be I give 2-3 of them priority this month. We'll see.
Thanks to Chooky and her helper Susan for doing this great job!

Greetings from Oddbjørg
