1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March.

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.........

Top together......

Well here is my quilt top with borders can't wait to get this finsihed now, I'm off to buy the wadding and backing tomorrow, hopefully I will be able to layer and pin soon..... then quilt but like you girls I'm not sure what I want to do yet.... ahhhh well I'll have to put on the thinking cap, I'm not really a quilter so it will probably be something simple. 


Come on Chooky show us some progress...... lol......

That is really beautiful and I know you're happy it is finished. I decided to machine quilt mine in the ditch because I didn't want to quilt in the stitching pieces...I have to check on my batting to see if I have enough. I'd like to get it sandwiched this week.

Bravo Helen, Bravo!!!! Your top is stunning! I also use Garden party fabrics. I'm going to use same print for outer border, but red spots for inner border.

It's beautiful Helen! Don't stress about the quilting, I will probably only ditch mine at this stage, giving me the option to do more later if I want to.
