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.........

Block F....done!

This burst of winter weather has been good for something!  I have finished Block F.....which means I am actually ahead of schedule!  I can see the end in sight for this project now and can't wait to start putting the blocks together...I have made a pact with myself to finish all the stitcheries first.......


Made a start on Block B last night and hope to finish it tonight while I am watching the footy.........

'Til next time.................Lorraine

It's August and I am stitching the August block - woo hoo!!

I have finally got myself together and am back on track with the SAL.......I pieced all the blocks a while ago and have been trying to catch up on the stitcheries .......with a concerted effort during this week I am there.....stitching the August block in August!! 



I was determined to catch up after a slow and interrupted start - thanks Chooky for the occasional "reminder"...couldn't have done it without you!

At last......

It's taken me a while to get moving on this project....but last night I traced a few of the patterns and started stitching.....then I realised it was 3am!....this afternoon I cut all the pieces and assembled the first block.....so I am on my way!  I am using the Blackbird Designs range of fabric, Garden Party and Cosmo thread (on a spool) - #858.  I am loving this thread...!
