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.........

Nearly there but wont quite make it...

I know - lots of excuses but I do have a couple.  My BOM only arrived last Thursday so I started straight away but not finished yet.  Got all the stitching done and most of the  applique prep, but wont get it finished by tomorrow night as I have to go away for work tomorrow and not home till Saturday.

Hopefully finish by early next week. Hope May's BOM arrives a little earlier otherwise it is going to be a struggle each month!

Your blocks will come together very quickly now as you have all the prep work done. Enjoy!

It's good your prep work is done. The blanket stitch border seems to take me the longest to do. You have done very well. hugs.....
