Hello From Perth, Western Australia

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........

Hello From Perth, Western Australia

Hi, I am Tracee from Perth (the WA one) and so happy to be joining my first SAL & with a new blog to go with it. After many fabric choices and changes I have decided to go with a red & white colourscheme.

I need some advice though - I'm still not sure about the red & white spot so what do you fabric connoisseurs think? Right, wrong or just OK???

Only four more sleeps & as you can see I haven't traced my stitcheries yet, but it's on this weekends 'to do' list, unfortunately behind the dreaded cleaning.....

Happy stitching
Tracee xx

Jude said...: Your choice looks good to me and if when you make up the blocks and it doesnt look right a little reverse sewing is called for.; Feb 26, 2011, 4:45:00 PM
