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.........

May finished - with 2 days to spare!

Doing better this month by finishing before the end of the month!! 
"Arrived" at Chookyblue's (virtual) sewing party tonight so I could finish off my last block for May...

...and here are all my blocks finished!!......

Between you and me I'm not too happy about the bees wings - too far apart I think - may re-do them......later....sometime...

Now the sensible thing to do would be to start the June blocks...ummm ...let's see what the weekend brings?

Have enjoyed seeing everyone's blocks - some lovely fabric combinations happening!

Happy Stitching

Great work Asta - and on time!! My first patchwork teacher always said "If you can live with it - leave it, else re do it" (I always thought she meant she couldn't live with it...not sure and I don't mean it that way to you...
Happy sewing with Chooky and the gang...
