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.........

Thanks Chookyblue!!!

Hi Everyone
I have been reading this blog for ages and humm'd and ha'd about joining in on Tis the Season and eventually passed on it, but this time I am in!!!   Whooppee!!! I am keen to start and have the fabrics ready - just can't decide on the backgrounds and my bestest sewing mate has gone away for a bit so I can't ask for a second opinion.  Oh well - on with the show!!
Thanks again Chooky - I wont let you down - I already have this project earmarked to do on my August 2012 Retreat.

Will try that on a sunnier day - its bucketing down today.

Yeah! Show us your fabrics! We are perhaps not your bestest sewing mates, but we are your new sewing mates! We'd love to see and offer advice.
