I am so close

To another finish that I thought it was time to share a new beginning......

Some Kind of Wonderful SAL

 

I have been watching the girls over at Stitch-A-Long for a while now and seeing all their progress on their last Christmas stitch a long and I have decided to join in  on their next Stitch-a-long project. I have also been lucky enough to make it on the Blog Roll which is great as I am now Accountable and have to stay on track! This is my reward to myself for attacking my UFOs in my "Accountability" Posts and what should be two other finishes by, say, Tuesday :o)

The project is from this lovely book by Hatched and Patched

and the project selected is this.......

My Favorite Things

The project has been broken down into parts to keep everyone on track.

I am looking forward to starting this one but first things first ....... picking the fabrics.

This was EASY. I am now awaiting the arrival of .......

They will be my basic pallet and when they arrive I will do some more shopping for some more co-ordinating colored prints to mix it up a little.

My book arrived this week and I have pulled some basics for the backgrounds, so this is what I have so far.

Just need to get over my fear of Needle Turn Applique and I'm ready to go :o)

Happy stitching, Sharon

P.S.  Any tips on the Needle Turn Applique would be greatly appreciated :o)
