Back from Holiday - busy with HEAPS of washing from both Himself and me
and the GMNT, who was at annual camp with the cadets.
What did he lose this year? A coathanger and a couple of small things.
He bought a jacket and failed to bring me a Welsh Dragon! ;) Better
than losing his specs in the lake, anyway!
I did take some sewing with me and saw our Gadget Queen Nel's super
spiffing blue quilt up on the wall in her guest room (we slept in
there). We'll get pix posted when we can...
She also has some Welsh quilts and some Durham quilts made by aunts and
ancestors, which we need to photograph next time we are up there. They
are amazing.
I haven't had a moment to quilt for MONTHS! I need to get a bit more
customer sewing off the table and then finish off a few quilts I have
that are not so much UFO's as sewing room archeology by now!
Himself has sorted out my newsgroups so I can see you all again, and am
in proper communication with the outside world - space in this head was
getting limited! ;)
Commiserations and prayers to all who need them (this group is always in
my thoughts), and congratulations to the winners amongst us. There are
too many messages to read them all, so Mr Mark Allread has been busy for
me... I shall start again afresh today and join in as I can.

Nice to get back in the groove of everyday life.
I would especially enjoy seeing pictures of the Welsh and Durham
quilts. My sister is very active in a Cornish Welsh Society. All these
years I thought we were Irish but now my sister tells me we are
Cornish.

It was lovely to see you both, Kate (I mean DD and you, not your
multiple personality) ;-)
The ground floor looks really under control now, and I keep going into
the cupboard under the stairs when I want some peaceful time! Thank
you both, it was a work of love.
The Welsh quilts can wait for another day to be done properly. Here
are the photos I took through to show Sandie Lush at her class on
Welsh Wholecloth. She was particularly enthusiastic about the square,
blue one. Hope the ;ink works...

Giggle... I know, but sometimes I do feel like there are several people
arguing inside this head!

It was quite cathartic in a way, and has inspired me to do something
similar to our own under-sytairs Glory Hole! We tossed a remarkably
small amount of stuff, but just sorting and boxing the screws and nails
was a lesson in packing density! ;)
Folks, if they live to be 900, Nel and family will never need to buy
another screw, nail, or picture hook, and they are ALL readily
accessible! Just as soon as we can, I'm headding out to get similar
little freezer boxes and a Sharpie! ;)
And I have filed away that trick with the carpets... I have a couple of
rugs that will benefit!

We'll do them at New Year, if plans go ahead as you'd like - or sooner
if we can. Half Term might be a good time to show you just how large
you godson really is!
TRhe link worked just fine, and the pix are not at all bad, but Alan and
the fancy Cannon might do some you are happier with for your article.

Thanks Nel! My dream one day is to do a Welsh-style quilt following
instructions in "Making Welsh Quilts" (Jenkins and Claridge). The
expert quilters didn't do much marking, sort of free motion hand
quilting.
