I managed to get some sewing done today, and I'm happy to report that my Gardener's Journal top is now finished! I just pieced the border out of strips and ran them around the quilt. I had done my Polka Dot Girls quilt this way and it really seemed to work with the scrappy look of the rest of the quilt. So now it's on to making the back and getting this one sandwiched and quilted! But that will have to wait until tomorrow! :0)
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...............
