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.........

I Have Started....points for me!!!

 
Hi I am Kerrie. I live near Griffith NSW. Married with 5 children, raising our 10year old granddaughter, trying to sew, knit, crochet, garden and generally lead a simpler life!! This is my first year being a part of Chooky's SAL - I have probably bitten off more than I can chew - but hey I HAVE started the January stitchery - that has to be good.....right????
 
 
I have already sewn the bag fabric to the stitchery - just going to be a little different to the usual Christmas colours - because I feel like being different. Some beads and some gold thread will also be added.
That's all - have a great day!! (I am a bit contrary today - operating on no sleep for the last 30 hours courtesy of one snoring husband and 2 barking dogs all night!!! Contrary is sliding into snappy and snarly at the moment!!!

Welcome and I think as a fellow newbie we're all feeling at little bit the same about biting off more than we can chew. The one thing I do like about the blog and the ladies who participate is how everyone encourages each other - well done for starting
