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.........

Having Withdrawals...

I so miss Australia!  During our three week stay I stitched most of my centre block, after all the 30 hour jaunt made for good stitching time. Bah!
So enjoyed working on the centre block but maybe because I was on holidays?!  Or was it because of its beauty?!  Maybe both!
Here we go...
