Jo in TAS here

Hi Everyone,
I'm Jo from Lilly Pilly (previously known as Jo in Tas). After seeing Chooky's post about the Gardener's Journal I decided I had to take part in this to get some motivation to complete this quilt.
I've had these packed in a box just dying to get out and be used
and these are the stitcheries I've finished so far
and that's as far as I got before I got sidetracked by other things. So ladies I'm going to get back on track and finish this with you. It's another of Annie's designs that I love but I love lots that she does.
I'm looking forward to watching how everyone progresses!
Good Luck!!
