Popped in to say Hi.

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone. My name is Noela and my blog is called Quilty Bits from the Blue Room. So glad to join Chooky and friends in another SAL. Have been in a few and must admit without encouragement from Chooky and Susan, wouldn't have finished a couple of my quilts.

I've ordered my pattern from Anni and when I receive it, will then go and sort through my stash to find some fabrics to use. I am having a clean-up of my sewing room at the moment and I must admit I do have lots and lots of fabric, some I had completely forgotten about.

My stitchery for January has been traced and I hope to start on it today so will post a photo later. Can't decide whether to use blue or red thread. It will definitely be a Cottage Garden one as they are some of my favourites.

I am enjoying reading all your posts. A big welcome to the new members. I'm sure we will have a wonderful time as we stitch together through the year.

Hugs Noela (quiltybits).
