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.........
Where are we now.....
4th SAL 2013...is numerous smaller projects from the previous 2 books Tis the Season and Some Kind of Wonderful plus some projects from Red Home by Natalie Bird approx 60 ladies stitching together.........
2014 we had the year off..............

Hello .....

 hello to you all....

So we are now at August, and our lovely block Christmas Blessings with a star and a heart aswell.

(I've just added the picture of the plan on the sidebar which hopefully makes it easier to see)

This block has a bit more applique than the ones we did before...

I have started by doing my star first and am now working on the heart....


Anyway - just popping in to remind you I am always watching and whipping!!

Righto, Gotto Go... that heart needs stitching!

Thanks for the lay out. Easier to know what we're doing each month.

Sweet wee block Fiona, thanks for the reminder of what we are doing this month! The layout pic is a good idea.

Ooooh...the mention of your whop is scaring me. I have June and July almost done...much st I get a move on August as there are only a couple more sleeps and it will then be September. Life is getting back to normal since I am back to school. As I was off with my back injury from January to June this is my first few days of full time...doing very well. Started walking to school for the exercise and to get a "jump" on my day. Loving it. I promise to get caught up ❤️🇨🇦
