Good morning everyone,

Can you believe another three weeks have passed since the last SAL update? I can’t. It’s already officially Autumn in the northern hemisphere and the apples and berries are falling from the trees. I love the autumn when the colours outside change from every shade of green to rusty reds, orange and yellow. I’ve been looking at my SAL project and it’s full of the colours we are soon to have in the garden.

I’ve now completed block 20. It’s got a sort of twirly thing going on and, as usual, it’s nothing like the designer intended. The original chart is by Whispered by the Wind. Claire is doing the same design as me but in a different colourway.

Here it is with the other 19 blocks. This is the last time you’ll see the bottom row until the project is finished because I need to scroll the fabric around the frame and turn to stitch the final row.

Here’s block 21.

Now that the frame has been turned, the other row has disappeared off the top of the photo.

Only four blocks to go now 🙂

Don’t forget to pop over and see what all the other stitchers in the group are doing. There’s some lovely sewing going on. Just click on the names below to visit their blogs. Some will be updating later than others due to time differences.

Claire, Gun, Carole, Jule, Elizabeth, Wendy, LucyAnn, Kate, Cathy, Jess, Jacqui.

Our next update will be on 4th October. See you then!

Hi Everyone,

It is time to show you the progress made on my Friendship Quilt V by Whispered by the Wind. Claire is stitching the same design as me in an orange and purple colour combination. Her version is very different to the autumnal colours I’ve chosen but it’s equally gorgeous.  My block 16 is now completed and, for a change, it looks quite like the original chart.

There are only 9 blocks left to sew. It seems to be growing faster now that the halfway mark has passed. I wonder why that always seems to be the case. Here are all 16 blocks together.

If you want to see what everyone else in the group is up to, just click on the names below. There’s a lot of lovely stitching going on.

Most of us are updating today but please allow for time zone differences. Some posts will appear up to 24 hours later than others.

Enjoy!

Claire, Gun, Carole, Alison, Jule, Elizabeth, Wendy, LucyAnn, Kate, Cathy, Jess, Jacqui.

The next SAL update will be on the 23rd of August. I had hoped to show you the beginnings of a new project by now but I’m still waiting for yarn that was ordered online on 22nd of June. Hopefully, I’ll be able to share it before the 23rd August!

Have a great Sunday 🙂

Hi everyone,

It’s time to show another update of our progress on various projects. Claire is sewing the same design as me. It is called Friendship Quilt V by Whispered by the Wind. It’s been crazy busy here for several weeks now and I’m so glad I got ahead by a few stages on the SAL so I could just schedule posts well ahead of time. 

Here is my latest block.

Here it is with the others.

All of the other stitchers in the group are working on their own exciting projects. There is so much variety! Please pop over to see what they are up to. Just click the names below and the links will take you there. You may also notice that we have another two new members to the group. We have Jess from Ever the Crafter and Jacqui from The Stitching Line. Welcome aboard ladies 🙂 We are now a group of thirteen stitchers. Fun, fun, fun!

If some group members aren’t posting updates today (occasionally they are otherwise engaged), their blogs are still worth a visit anyway and remember that we live all around the world so some posts will appear later than others due to time difference. 

If you’d like to join our SAL, send me an email. The address is on the right of this page. There are no rules or deadlines. Just pull out a WIP which has been long forgotten or start a new project to stitch along with us. Actually, it doesn’t even need to be sewing. It might be knitting or crochet or almost anything else. You will need to write a short update post to show your progress every third Sunday, linking to the rest of the group. So, let me know if you want to join in 🙂

Grab a coffee and do some blog hopping.

Claire, Gun, Carole, Alison, Jule, Elizabeth, Wendy, LucyAnn, Kate, Cathy, Jess and Jacqui.

If you want to see what else I’ve been up to recently, take a leap to my other blog Oh Sew Tempting. I’m taking part in a patchwork block swap over at Kate’s lovely blog. I’ve already made my blocks in advance for posting in June, July and August and the June parcel is already on its way to The Netherlands.

The next SAL update here will be on the 12th of July 2015. I’ll have to get my skates on for that as I have no more blocks in reserve now.

I think I can see eight thimbles in this block 🙂
