I am so excited to start this new Stitch-A-Long. I completed the ones for A Gardner's Journal, Tis the Season and SKoW. They are so much fun and stitching has helped me through a lot of hard times. So excited to begin this new stitching journey!
I have started the stitchery in variegated red. Will post when I have a bit stitched. My Mom, Joan is stitching in variegated red also and my daughter, Emily, in variegated blue!
We are all from Canada.
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.........
Where are we now.....
4th SAL 2013...is numerous smaller projects from the previous 2 books Tis the Season and Some Kind of Wonderful plus some projects from Red Home by Natalie Bird approx 60 ladies stitching together.........

I love how it does not matter what age you are with sewing..........we all become one.........
Look forward to seeing your stitchery. Emily looks lovely in blue.
Sew special to be sewing along with your Mum and Daughter.
Its lovely to have 3 generations stitching. The stitching gene skipped a generation in my family - my daughter was not the least bit interested!! My mother myself and my grand daughter all sew and craft.
Three generations! That's fabulous...your very own little SAL sewing circle...
Wow..three generations is amazing! My daughter quilts, too. Looking forward to seeing all of your stitch-a-long progress. Suze x
