Chinese Whispers

[kfstitcher]

I am not long back from a buffet and Talk by Susan Briscoe which was one of the evening events at the LLQS 2014. I was walking in Dumbarton's High street this afternoon going to check on my volunteers when a car drew up beside me and two ladies started getting out. I stared and said Wendy! She stared and said Maureen! Spooky or what. They picked up Lorna from the airport and I met them all tonight at the talk. It was really great meeting them and spending time with them at last. I will see them again tomorrow. Great evening.

That is so cool! I'm enjoying seeing the quilts (just went back to look at them for the fourth time) and am surprised by the way they end up and the things that carried through like flying geese. Great work ladies!

Glad some of you were able to see the video. Sorry it didn't work for you Norma.

Wendy posted this on the Facebook video post:
"Hi Limbania your quilt is gorgeous and so full of emotion. Please apologise to others that I can't put pictures of the show up yet the Internet at the hotel is not up to it! We're having a great time and been very spoilt by Maureen x"

Please, Maureen, thank Kim for posting the photos in flicker and Thank you again for all you're doing.

So happy to read that Maureen, Wendy, Rosemary and Lorna are having a great time.

Fun hearing about others of us finally meeting with one another. But now that I have a summer in which I do not have to worry about how will I entertain guests, do the gardening and get the " whispher quilt' done, just what will I do. Hummm… let's not loose touch. What will you do now that this project is finished? Will we remain a group? How could we remain a group? Will we move on to other things that life presents? What's your answer?

You know Marilyn I nearly fell off my chair when I saw your flying geese! They really did travel a long way. It's going to be fascinating to see the photos that Wendy, Rosemary and Lorna post (hopefully) with the quilts in-situ. And it would be lovely to see how the other groups did. Love the new Avatar BTW. :wink:

I thought that was amazingly spooky too Marilyn and Rita.Those flying geese found their way on and off the quilts and also what got my attention too, is the arch like shape in the last 2 quilts and of course that Lorna used the blue in the sky, which she had mentioned now, that is fabric that Maureen dyed. Amazing!

We are connected in mysterious ways. Hmm… and there are chickens.

[loise98]

Yes there are, Loise.

Even though I haven't been active for a while, I think it will continue as a group. Throughout the time, it has turned into friendship, camaraderie and sharing joys and sorrows. Without making any promises, since summer vacation will start Saturday, May 24, and that means busy time with the kids, I want to participate more in the forum and stay in touch with you all. Just want you to know that my absence doesn't mean that I don't care or love you. I think of you often. I stop by and caught up on reading what's going on, every now and then and always pray for your well being. I'm sure with all the creativity and talent the members of the group have, there'll be other projects we can come up with.

Thankfully for me, things are working pretty good, health wise. I will have treatment at the naturopathic doctor's office every other week from now on. Next week I have an appointment with the oncologist for some test and have faith that they will be just fine. The issue with the cording/lymphedema in my right arm has resolved. Just working now on getting rid of the frozen shoulder. So, so far so good and still working on nutrition, exercise and stress reduction to stay healthy.

Let's hope everybody else is agreeable and interested in continuing this awesome group.

WOW, I'm so proud of being a lurker here in your group. You have all done an amazing job. It's very touching to read all your comments on your quilts and see that some elements made it through the whole process. Congratulations to each and everyone of you. And a big thank you to your daughter, Maureen, for setting up a link where I finally got to see them.

We are having a blast here in Scotland. The quilts are wonderful. So is the weather. We had afternoon tea by Loch Lomond. Glad everyone could join us.

We let Nancy have a run around with the poodle

[loise98]

So nice being with everyone. Where's Lorna? We need to see her too.

Thanks to all the Whisperers for letting us join you on this fantastic journey. It has really thrilled me to see all of your quilts. This has been so fun for me, and I am sure it has been immeasurable fun for you. Hope you continue to have a great time at the show. Love to you all.

Thanks for the photos ladies. Love seeing the quilts all together - well except Maureen's. Are those CW quilts below as well? If so they went even further off course than us. :lol: And look at us all together - good of you to let Nancy have a run, but who's poodle is it? We need more photos!

[idaho]

Nancy? Poodle? :roll: :shock: :?: We make a good collection, huh? :lol: I'm there in spirit ! :lol:

Definitely love a good romp with a poodle! Thanks for letting me play!!
