Presenting .... da da-da DAH!!!! ... My 'sewing' block!!
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..............
5th SAL 2015..........inspired to continue we are doing another quilt project.....Anni Downs newest quilt Natures Journey.....
6th SAL 2017.............A Holly Cottage Christmas by Michelle Ridgway.......once again the pattern is in an affordable book so it is easy for everyone to join in...........and you can raid your stash for the fabrics........or lash out and buy a the whole lot........this SAL will be run by Fiona aka Bubz Rugz and Raewyn........

Dedication
I really, really loved making this block !
You will recognize me... Fair hair, blue eyes...
AND... pretty pink shoes !!
I was thinking of all my friends while I was making this block and I want to dedicate it to all of them !!
For all the good times chatting, laughing, stitching, walking, eating, drinking.... well you all know what I mean !

Sewing all day
I finished the first May block. I heart it! Love the subject, the details, the colours! And I made an exagonal variation! So small and cute! :)
P.S. Hey, girls! Sometimes Anni Downs forget some details, so you can see little differences between the finished quilt and the pattern. For example, here there is a screw on the scissors!

February's Blocks
My SKoW so far
December, January and February
and I can relax now until June,
the cat block is done, I just need to sew it onto the strip
The sewing block (May) I have the shoe block and the best friends done too
My husband says I have to much time on my hands lol, but I don't really I stitch everynight for
around 4 hours, uninterupted
Love it :)
I haven't done the top or bottom borders, I am going to wait until the top is
together to get the right balance of beige-ness (is that a proper word??)
