What's Happening...

Happy Valentine's Day! This month is the JCS Ornament SAL. Stitch an ornament you've always wanted to work on! And has anybody found their bunny project yet? I'm thinking ahead to Easter and a bunny might be just the ticket! Our year long SAL's are as follows. . . Bunny SAL, Freebie SAL, Christmas Tree SAL, and Cross Eyed Cricket SAL! The Blackbird Design Stocking Year Long SAL continues to June 30th! The Ornament SAL begins again in February. Pick any ornament to stitch from any of the JCS or Gift of Stitching ornament issues. Sounds like a perfect way to go back and get the ornaments stitched that were on your wish list from previous years!

Monthly Themed Block Exchange, check the database for details.
Monthly and some fun weekend SAL's.
Surprise contests now and then.
Check the group's files under "All group activities" for detailed info. Another place is the group calendar, database, and the poll section of the board.

Remember that a group is only as good as it's active members...

STO is an "active" group (no lurking policy) and members are expected to not only post throughout the month, but also join in for some of the SAL's and an occasional Exchange now and then. Share your finishes and WIPs with everyone. STO does have a "limited" membership.

Please make sure that if you have an offsite album to place your link in the "link" section of the board.
