Intro and Christmas Wishes

Hello Ladies,
I'm Kel, from AlwaysApplique.blogspot.com.au
First Timer SAL participant. Thankyou to chookyblue and Susan for hosting this.

I've started the Christmas wishes Stitchery, decided to go with blue as I figured I have enough traditional looking xmas stuff. Loving the variegated thread. Love everyone's stitcheries so far.

Am hugely excited to start the quilt. I'm going to stash bust this one, I have a layer cake that will be the basis for the colour scheme.

Here's my Stitchery so far.




Nice to meet everyone and I look forward to our journey together.
Take care all,
Kel x
