I HAVE BEEN...

...... out and about a bit this week. On Thursday evening it was Sandbach Quilt group meeting .. this was the night we handed over the Linus quilts ( www.projectlinusuk.org.uk )we have been making all year ...77 yes that's right SEVENTY SEVEN quilts were handed over..


Wendy looks a bit stern there! Don't know WHAT she was saying xx lol x

ALSO the next challenge was announced x Each ladies ....who wants to join in ... and I have to say despite the "rumblings" from a certain corner .. more join in each time xx ... was given a pack..



this contains everything they need to make this little block...



ALL they have to do is make the block THEN decorate the centre ... as the organiser ..of course .. I made the examples ..


then JUST BECAUSE ITS ME!!.. I started looking at other possibilities xx lol ...



NOW we just have to see what the ladies come up with xx

Yesterday was The Quilters Guild Regional day in Frodsham .. about an hours drive from here ... in the morning our speaker was Gillian Travis if you get the chance check out her web page ... www.gilliantravis.co.uk .... she brought LOTS and LOTS of pieces for us to see x Loved her talk x

In the afternoon we had a lady called Val Jackson .. I don't know if this will work but if not put her in your search engine and click on quilt artist www.quiltart.eu/valjackson.html ..... she was fascinating .. well I thought so anyway! SHAME on the 3 ladies behind us who TALKED all the way through both talks .. WHY do these people just not come ... or leave if its not for them? .. OK rant over ! I loved them anyway xx lol x

I managed to help the traders stay in business..




I have plans for all of these xx

Off to chat with Sally on Skype xx Thank goodness for technology xx

Lots of loveliness, well done to all (except those thanking at the back of the class)

Well done on the 77 quilts!! Sensational effort. I think the talkers should have been asked to leave! Bad manners! Love the challenge block, and your snowmen.

Well done for all those quilts. Looks like the challenge is going to be fun. Talking through a speaker's talk is just plain bad manners.
