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.........

I'm a Topper!

Finally, and just 11 days late...
I wish I could have finished on time...
but, alas, things get in the way...
here is the completed project...
I'll sew my other border, I'm adding and 
then quilt it before I post again....
Congratulations to all who have finished...
and the rest, like me, you'll get there...
just keep stitching...

Not the best photos, a lot to get in, but you can see
it's finally done....
Thanks to Chooky and Susan for all
the time you put into this SAL...can't
wait to see your finished quilts..

Lovely to see your finished topper. Looks beautiful. Looking forward to seeing how you quilt yours. I found it took some time as I needed to think what I wanted to quilt in each space. Plus machine quilting is still a learning curve for me. Enjoy the next stage. Happy Stitching.

Sammie - this looks great and well done!
Unfortunately for the whip crackers - life got in the way for one and for the other one ...too many projects and too little time....but we will get there.
