1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March.

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.........

February blocks done....

These are my February blocks


I have been doing the applique in needleturn.... which takes me quite a while... my basket handle is a bit wonky....but I will leave that to add to the character of my quilt!!!


The blocks have been trimmed to size now and are safely in their little plastic container waiting for the March ones..........

It's been great to see all the different versions ... they are coming along well - and the encouragement is wonderful too
