Hello from NZ

I thought I’d better pop in and introduce myself as I’ve 'met' some of you before but not everyone J

I’m excited to be teaming up with Fiona to host this Stitch-A-Long. … I’m Raewyn and I blog *here* at stitchingfarmgirl.

This is my first time appearing here on this blog, although I was sorely tempted to join in with Nature’s Journey, the last SAL here; I even went so far as to buy the pattern but I never did quite get to the starting stage!

I have stitched a few of Michelle’s designs before and was very quick to buy this book when she first released it. I also took part in the re-creation of her quilt when the first one was stolen, so I feel it only right that I actually make my own version.

Did you realise there are a few smaller projects also featured in the book?

I am thinking that if I don’t have my fabric in time for the official start I might indulge myself and make one of these … I might just make it anyway ... I’m still deciding which one; the “Cookies for Santa tablemat” is my current pick … we’ll see.

{We're not officially starting till June so that should give us all plenty of time to get organised}.

I’ve enjoyed the odd glimpse of fabrics I’ve seen on some of your blogs lately…and most of you have responded to the request to be a blog author…SO ….why not blog here too and introduce yourself. You could maybe even share your fabrics here, or one of Michelle’s projects you’ve done or anything really that’s related J We’d love to get to know you better.

Michelle's Country at Heart alphabet is what I've been working on most recently.

Don’t forget to contact Fiona or myself if you have any questions – or want help to write a post. Our email links on on the left sidebar.

And of course feel free to continue to share your fabulous work from the previous Stitch- A-Longs!

Looking forward to meeting you all,

Happy stitches,
