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

Block E Finished !!

Here is my Block E finished - I'm nearly done!!    After reading the last post, I would like to encourage everyone who has been lagging a bit (like I was)!   I just couldn't seem to get to putting my blocks together as there was just too much else to do before the end of the year.   But for the bonus of a few days after all the children and partners had gone home, I wouldn't have this nearly completed by now.  So... don't worry if your circumstances don't afford you time at the moment ... just know that everyone in the group will eventually have a beautiful quilt to enjoy ... doesn't matter if it is this week or next month, or next year!!   Stitching shouldn't be under pressure, but a relaxing, gentle art!  Enjoy each and every stitch!

And another bonus - Block E could then be joined to Blocks C and D!!   The end is in sight!!    Some spare time this afternoon should hopefully see me with a top put together completely!  Yahoo!!!!!!
