.... almost time to start!!!!
I enjoyed Raewyn's introduction post and thought I would also. Many of you who have joined in with the stitchalong I have known for a while, but there's quite a lot who I don't know even though we may have sewn together on some of the other quilts.
My Nature's Journey top is finished - but I still haven't quilted it!!!
Chookyblue, who as you know started the StitchALongs was one of the first people I met when I entered blogland in 2010 - and she was so supportive and helpful.... since then I have made some amazing online friends and been lucky enough to meet a number of them in real life....
Please feel free to make a short introduction of yourself - we are quite a good size group and it would be lovely to know a bit about you - no pressure of course, say as much or as little as you like. Even show us what fabrics you are going to use.
I live in Queensland Australia and have been in Australia since 2002 - coming from Zimbabwe. Of course I have wonderful memories and friends and family there and miss them terribly but I do love it here and have wonderful friends and family here too and we are making new memories. I also have a lot of family in the UK so the internet is my BFF..... Just me and Hubz at home, and a dog now and I am addicted to my sewing...
These are the fabrics I have. I purchased a fat 1/8th pack last year and used a little. Managed to get a bit of metreage for borders so I'm set to go.... These are Anni Downs fabrics and I think the little prints will look gorgeous... The beige spot will be my background for the pictures....
For this month we suggested fabric finding and if you felt like it a smaller item from the book..... this is one I have made previously - I've run out of time to do another but I'm sure you won't mind if I share it anyway.
It is the doorhanger from Page 31 and I used a variegated thread
In June, although I am hosting I will be absent from blogland but Raewyn will be around to crack the whip and answer any questions.....
So lovely to have you all sewing along with us.... not too late to join if you are still thinking about it....
Righto, Gotto Go.... looking forward so sewing with you all.....xx

I am looking forward to starting Michelle's quilt and i think its a lovely idea to start off with a small project,better go and trace it out now ,let the fun begin xx
Lovely post Fiona. I have also enjoyed getting to know many folk through Blogland.. It was lovely to have met Kris and you on our last trip around Aussie . Also was lucky to catch up with the Brisbane Sunday Stitchers.
I am also using the Anni Downs Christmas 🎄 fabrics but would like to get some more meterage , do you know where I can get it please.
Your Doorhanger is gorgeous, I'm working on my project now and will do a post when finished.
How great to learn something about you. Raewyn I already knew through blogs, and missing getting to meet her on her trip to Tennessee. I've been on your blog a little, but never realized you were not native Aussie! Thanks for sharing.
OOOh, I am so behind but just discovered the new project today....is it too late for me to join? I may take a bit for me to get the book all the way across the ocean but I'll try to hurry.
