going great guns on block a...then i break my arm

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.........

Where are we now.....

4th SAL 2013...is numerous smaller projects from the previous 2 books Tis the Season and Some Kind of Wonderful plus some projects from Red Home by Natalie Bird approx 60 ladies stitching together.........

2014 we had the year off..............

5th SAL 2015..........inspired to continue we are doing another quilt project.....Anni Downs newest quilt Natures Journey.....

6th SAL 2017.............A Holly Cottage Christmas by Michelle Ridgway.......once again the pattern is in an affordable book so it is easy for everyone to join in...........and you can raid your stash for the fabrics........or lash out and buy a the whole lot........this SAL will be run by Fiona aka Bubz Rugz and Raewyn........

going great guns on block a...then i break my arm

here i was going great guns on block a...

then splat...i break my arm...

i can't believe it...

for the full sorry tale on how it happened go over here

getting it all together...

i went to bed all excited to do more...

but nah...can't do a thing for 6 weeks minimum...

happy little fabrics being chopped up...

this is how it will stay till i am able to come back to it...

even packaged some fabrics...

this is how i look...

everything just seems so magnified as i am a full time carer for our daughter with a disability...

thank goodness i have a wonderful supportive hubby to help with all this...

thank you so much chooky for all your encouragement in getting this far...

i really appreciate it...

as arnie says...

Quilt Kitty said...: I'm sure the time will pass faster than you think. I had to spend a month without sewing while a torn tendon healed. I spent a lot of that month going through my patterns, magazines & fabrics & planning new projects. My 'to do' list grew hugely but at least I still felt I was doing something creative. Hubby sounds great! Heal well. Your fabrics are scrumptious. xx; Feb 18, 2011, 3:46:00 PM
