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.........

Chookyblue's update

I had to have a major resort before I started the rest of my April blocks...............
balancing out the colour especially since I am doing different colour circles.........
just got caught  with a few other things that had to happen............
but nearly  there........
It's been great to see where everyone is up to.........thankyou to those girls who are finished and great to hear from you even if your not finished it is nice to see your progress.........and if your not finished you pretty close so keep up the great work...........now onto May............I wonder who will be finished first this month...............maybe me...........lol..........

I'm loving the bright colours too.
I was prepping some of my May ones and I had to lay them all out to make sure I didnt have too moch of one colour - or all the small hearts weren't one colour etc etc...my design wall (??) is already chock a block with other WIPs...might be time for a re sort of all that...
