This are my first SAL, but I have been a part of all of Donnas SSCS. I have also been so luckey to be able to be in a class with Anni , and a lot more of the great Australian designere.. 
I love to stitch and sew quilts..
Now the little Christmas Stitchery are almost done,and I know what to make from it. I will show you later. 
The pattern are ordred to day,so now I have to wait for about a week to start keeping an eye on the poatmann.... 
This will be soo fun..

I know its a nuisance to live with it, but it is so pretty.
Welcome to the SAL - lovely that you can share progress with your daughter - do you live close to each other?

A beautiful photo- we can dream here in Australia - currently dealing with high 30's and early 40's temperatures. It is lovely to share your interests with your daughter - precious moments together.
