Wendy, thanks for offering to post my quilt back to me, you are very kind. Safe journey back home all of you and a good rest after it all as I would imagine that you are all exhausted - especially you Maureen! Congratulations on a successful quilt show and I hope it went out with a bang!

You all have had a wonderful time. Lorna, thanks so very much for taking care of the USA quilts. This can't be The End, can it?

Lorna. there are 22 groups all together and we had to change the way we were going to display them as there was just too many quilts to go into a certain space. They have spilled over from the church hall into the church itself and look terrific. Ours are in the church just before you go into the corridor to the church hall. You all will be amazed at the difference of all the groups.

You are right Maureen, It is amazing!! You and your crew did an awesome job setting it all up.

Was there an accident? Had you to drive through Glasgow again? At that time of the morning there probably wouldn't have been much traffic.

Glad the TomTomis in the bin Wendy, now you will be able to find your way much easier :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks Lorna, I am so glad that you enjoyed them and all the other churches and quilts.

So glad you had a wonderful time, so many beautiful quilts to see and fantastic time spent together! Wish you a safe trip home, except Wendy, who's already hugged her chooks. Thank you Maureen for such a memorable experience and Lorna, in advance, for getting our quilts back to those of us in CONUS whenever you can. This has been a great journey! I'm very grateful for the experience!

Hi all,

Like Wendy said, the internet connection at the Premier Inn was slooooooooooooooooow. Here is the picture from Loch Lomond with Nancy and the Poodle.

Marilyn,

Do these geese look familiar? I think they look just like the geese on your quilt! It is a sculpture in the middle of a round about here in Loch Lomond.

And the loch yesterday







What a difference a day makes :wink:

No Maureen the M 8 was coned off at the airport. We went Paisley, East Kilbride and Hamilton but there was a motorway we went both ways and roads were renumbered or not there plus you understand what my navigators are like. :roll: :lol:

Here's Maureen's quilt for those who haven't seen it by other means, perhaps someone has a better picture showing detail





Stunning best of show!

[twiglet]

How big are the quilts? Am I right in that you only saw the one quilt ahead of you? It's just stunning.

They were over24" ins Sue and under40 something. I know that because Maureen made me add 1/4" and Rita had to slice some off.

Thanks for explaining Limbania I loved it.

Wow ! So that's where those geese came from, Lorna !! :shock: Plum amazing !! Thanks for taking that photo !

[idaho]

Get a rest and lets us know how to compensate you, Lorna for the post....

Marilyn, I go through that roundabout every day going to the studio so it was very apt that you put your geese on your quilt. The geese are the symbol of the National Park.
