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.........

Summer was productive

The end of a fabulous story ♥
 

The nine patch band seemed to be laborious but i did it watching Roland Garros tennis french open and it becomes a pleasure ! 


 so great  isn't it ?

And now, this is the big show !
Tadam ...

Pieced and quilted with love






I would like to extend a huge and fabulous thank and congratulation to Chooky Blue ♥
 
I would write so much more but my English level is so poor :-(
 
I kiss everybody and encourage you for the final progress ♥
