I changed destination to this old stitchery project (one of our Stitching A Long project: an old wooden spoon and a primitive effect that now I love!
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........

Holiday's homeworks
Hi, girls! I went on holidays on August and I always bring with me some patchwork homeworks. This year I did the same but this is my first holidays with my little new-born, so the time was not the same as the past... :) I quilted Henrietta Whiskers and I made some Nature's Journey blocks. Very busy this autumn, but I will work every sunday to Nature's journey! In the meanwhile, so happy to see your progresses, I do love July and August blocks!!!! <3

Three projects
Hi, girls! I post three project! I loved so much wall hanging one! Asd how Chookyblue says, "It's hard to decide what blocks are the favourites to stitch for this wall hanging...", yes, of course! You're so right!
Marg, can you see? It's you that suggested me this bag with your fantastic fabric choise...
P.S. I showed the Some Kind of Wonderful quilt to the shop where I bought fabrics... they falled in love and forgot all the other costumers... :) Thay told they infrequently see a so incredible quilt! :)

Binding finished!
I finished my SKoW!!!!!!!! I do love it! The shop-assistent helped me to choose binding and she gave me this red-coral one... It was the only one that can agree with the top and the bottom... and I love tha way it makes the red in the blocks stand out!
And now... the label!!!

Hi, girls!
Hi, girls! Here I am! I have a new blog and a new name: pepepatchwork (some problems with Picasa), a new invitation from Chooky for new projects and a new year! Yeah! I love changes...
I've not Red home book (I will, of course, it's so cute!), so for January project I choose Hatched and patched shoes bag...
I can't quilt because of my wounded finger (too quilting during Christmas holidays) and it hurt me so that I must do a stop for some days (I can't use thimbles on my thumb because I can't feel the needle coming...)...
So yesterday I begun my shoes-bag. I know, too similar the shoes fabrics and the background fabrics... but I love them sooooooo much! I think this marriage will be very sweet! :)
Goodbay, girls! I go to take an italian coffee with Nutella (nuts-chocolate), yuuuuum!!!!
Have a great year (I'm so happy to be with you for another year!!!!)

Pepe's Quilting progress..........
Posting for Pepe which technically it is still 2012 in Italy.......
She has also moved to a new blog see the links........... Chookyblue
Lentamente, ma anche Some Kind of wonderful procede. Ho finito il trapunto delle cornici verticali, ho rimontanto il quilt sul telaio nell'altro senso ed ora mi appresto a trapuntare le intersezioni orizzontali che dividono i vari blocchi. Poi mancherà solo la cornice principale, ma quella la farò senza il telaio. Prevedo ancora una ventina di ore di trapunto...
Slowly, but Some Kind of wonderful proceeds. I finished the quilting of vertical frames, I rimontanto the quilt on the frame in the opposite direction and now I am going to Tufts horizontal intersections that divide the various blocks. Then only will the main frame, but that will do it without the frame. I predict another twenty hours of quilting ...
