Chinese Whispers

[scottishquilter]

Maureen, QAYG is my new best friend. I have two very large quilts to quilt in the usual manner but after that I think I will be doing everything else QAYG because it is the easiest on my arms and wrists which is where I really feel it with the large quilts on a domestic machine. I am interested to know why the flax/cotton blend did not sell? Is it less soft? And is the soya blend as soft as the bamboo? Here we usually have a choice of either cotton or wool when available. I love the wool best of all but it is slightly harder to quilt because it has more loft.

The flax/cotton blend is not as soft as the bamboo and a bit thicker plus it is a lot more expensive than the others so that is probably the main reason it hasn't sold very well. Yes, the soy was as soft as the bamboo. It felt really cuddly and you just wanted to stroke it all the time. Nobody, so far, has asked for the wool

Congratulations Rosemary, well done. Now enjoy having your life back again, your family will be so pleased to have you back.

Rita, enjoy your last few days of freedom for a while

[twiglet]

Well done Rosemary

Bye bye Rita I dread hearing from you again :lol:

[Renata]

Start cleaning your room, Wendy and if you need the printer, make sure it's under your nose, not the couch or the bed... time will fly as Lois said!

PS Did I just make the sentence rhyme? :roll: :lol:

As my dad always said:

You're a poet
and you didn't know it
though your feet show it
they're Longfellows

Well you know what they say Wendy, no news is good news. :wink:

[Renata]

As my dad always said:

You're a poet
and you didn't know it
though your feet show it
they're Longfellows

:lol: :lol: :lol: Cool dad, Nancy!

[twiglet]

Laugh not Rita.
longfellows are walking up your drive
and be ready when they arrive,
for now you are cool
but soon be a fool
for not stocking up with the chocolate!

[Reetzbobeetz]

The fridge it is full
With bars big and small
For DH he knows what I want
White chocolate and milk
Smooth as dupione silk
This is how I can be nonchalant

And though big foot may try
He will ne're pass him by
For he stands there from morning 'til lunar
To make sure that this quilt
And it's maker don't wilt
And it's flying to Wendy much sooner
:mrgreen:

Okay, I think I am hysterical with tiredness now so I am going to bed....don't try to stop me!

[Renata]

And it's flying to Wendy much sooner
:mrgreen:

...and I'm banking on 30 days from when "Chinese Whispers 7" is in Rita's hands, Wendy! What am I saying? Rita already has a photo! :lol: :lol: :twisted:

You beat me to it. I was thinking the very same thing.

Congratulations Rosemary, and best of luck to Rita. This getting exciting. I haven't written my 100 words and I'd better get to it before I forget absolutely everything about making the quilt.

Terry, I am wishing you well. Hope your feeling well enough to natter with us soon again!

Way to go, Rosemary! I knew you would be sending it in due time. Take inspiration from the photo, Rita, and start the creative juices flowing.

Gosh, Wendy, our time is coming very, very soon!

Renata, our civiliarn employees started back after the first week. Other services have also started back up. I seem to be receiving mail on a regular basis now. I would say that it is safe to send the package to me now.

For the first time I am tarting to get a bit nervous about thi whole thing!

Lorna

[Renata]

Thanks, Lorna. Must feel good to get your folks back at work too--sure they're happy as well.
