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.........

The First Five...

...stitcheries finally stitched...





...I know, they are not actual blocks...as all my inner borders are different fabrics (all the cutting out has taken place) and as I'm using a variegated thread I'm going to stitch all the stitcheries first to see how the colours in the thread play out in each one, then play with layout and audition inner borders to see which one wants to go where...so for now, although I'm up-to-date with the stitcheries in the plan my name will be "blockless" for a while longer...

All the variations are looking fabulous...loving seeing all your lovely blocks...

Happy Stitching...
Annette
