Bec's Gardner's Journal

As you can see I have had my Gardner's Journal kit stored for sometime. It is partially cut out with no stitcheries stitched or even traced; looking very sad and unloved indeed! So I was very pleased to see Chookyblue's post about her, Peg and Dale getting to work on this beautiful quilt; it deserves to be made, not to sit in the box! LOL
I shall get my box emptied and sorted over the next week, ready to start. I'm very excited about this, and it has actually prompted another project but that one will have to remain secret for a while yet....
