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.........

Slowly ...

...my stitching is progressing nicely ... have almost finished my 5th block ...
... and it looks a little like this ...


... I couldn't help but put it all together...

I'm very happy with my pink and red colours using French General fabrics ... mostly Pom Pom de Paris. 

I'm so enjoying the stitching, decided to use Cosmo Stranded cotton as the Multithread was the wrong colour totally!

Happy stitching, Perri

This is so lovely. The pink looks do pretty. I like the variegated thread. I'm doing some of the smaller projects using it.

Perri, your fabrics look wonderful, I love the pink/red combo and I am not a pink person! It's nice to see the overall look too.
