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'm pleased Anni is looking in on us occasionally. Such a talented lady - hope we do her proud with our creations.

Hi Chooky, agreed, Anni this is such a beautiful design, very achievable with the small blocks...
All credit to Chooky, Susan, and all of the participants in this "StitchaLong"...
My life is such that it is not really possible to attend quilt camps etc.... So this is just as good....no this is better!
I can log in anytime, for inspiration, encouragement and motivation!

Thanks all xxxx
