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.........

One down. How many to go?


On to 'Watering the Garden' now. I took up someone's suggestion to copy the page out of the book before trying to trace it on to the fabric. Much easier than trying to struggle with the staples and other pages. I also used a pigma pen this time. It did not drag over the fabirc like the other pencil I used for the first one. I reckon, by the end, my stitching will have improved. Is that why we started on block G first, so the viewer's eye does not go to my dodgy stitching first? ;-)

Keep those fingers moving,
