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...............

Oh my, the pressure is on now...I had the comfort of Chooky's not got her top together yet!... It looks fantastic in bluework...love it...and the borders are just perfect...
Your border looks lovely. I like the look of the 2 narrow borders then the larger one. It sets it off nicely. Congratulations on finishing. Cheers Noela.
