Hello from Canada
Hi Everyone,
I'm really excited to be a part of the stitch-a-long. I'm afraid I couldn't wait until March and have already stitched the first block and working on the second :0)
Ahh--you are such a "bad" girl--but I would love to start tooo--only thing is I have so many other things to work on --- that I have been good--though mine are all traced out--am also waiting on some new thread colors-- Have fun-- Hugs, Di
Hi Pat, you rebel! It has been hard waiting but as I a one of those people that have trouble finishing things I have tried to stick to other projects until March. Consequently my fabric choices have changed so many times, I'm beyond confused. The stitchery looks great. xx
Yes, yes, I can see you're going to be the over achiever in this new SAL. Every group has to have at least one. ;-) Don't worry I think the other ones will soon catch up. Have fun with it.
I'm only getting my book and material next week. But I've got so much else to keep going with, can't complain. Once I get it, I know I'll want to start straight away, too.
Welcome Pat, Mama Bear from the USA here. I don't blame you...I'm sure these are going to be much quicker to work than our GJ..I've bought blues and reds and thought I'd do some of each..the reds for the other items in the book.

Stitching is so much fun, no wonder you were anxious to start! I'm a bit like Di, lots of things on at the moment which is keeping me on time!
