Corrections

I have been into the 'setting' this morning and hopefully have enabled you to comment on my ramblings. I hope also that I have enabled Sue to read this blog - e-mail me if you can Sue.



I am very tired this morning - Monday is always a busy day but yesterday seemed busier than usual. We have decided to take the caravan away for a few day, mainly because I am going stir crazy! (Brian has been working at Sarah's house most evenings and weekends for the last couple of weeks, while I have stayed 'home alone'. I suppose I could have gone with him but I would only start doing things round the house for Sarah (washing up, laundry,ironing, tidying up etc and generally making myself very tired), so I stayed home and quilted.) it will give us the opportunity to make sure that everything is working properly berfore we go to Malvern for the Quilt show next month.

To make the van ready for a trip away ment doing shopping and restocking the van with essentials - you must realise that the van is an extention of home - so you need loo rolls, washing up liquid, cooking oil, and all the other basic needs, etc



Last night I went to the Thamesiders AGM taking cousn Dorothy and my friend Sue Bouchard with me - a long drive. Quite a good meeting were we discussed the quilt show we will be holding in June and who was going to 'white glove' it! of course I volunteered to do half a day.......don't I always? but I am not doing the sales table this year - no one came to relieve me last year and I was on it for the whole of the day!

We were told that our local quilt shop Green Mountain will be closing it's doors at the end of April and that Paula Doyle will be concentrating on designing quilts instead. Our next nearest shop is at Hampton Court (can't remember it's name for the moment)and it is a devil to find parking space near to it.



Enough ramblings for today.



Please e-mail me if you still cannot make comments.

Welcome to the real world, Gran! I drive about 90 miles for a visit to a decent quilt shop (The Bramble Patch). It's worth it though.
How much do you still have to do on the FoQ quilt?

I am quilting the penultimate border Lorchen. I have decided what is going into the final one and tried out a bit - hope to finish in a couple of weeks. I must make sure that I get an entry form or it wont make it to FoQ
