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...............

Still Stitching....

Hi girls, remember me I haven't posted in a while because I'm still stitching my blocks.....

I am stitching most of my blocks first because I traced them onto a single piece of fabric and if I cut them out they are too hard to handle on their own, so I'm just stitching stitching bit by bit, but I am so inspired after seeing what you girls have achieved by probably focussing on one project at a time instead of trying to do a bit of this and a bit of that, I might just have to work on this only until it's done.......
 hmm now that sounds like a plan....lol....
