Lorna had lots of questions about it and saw the shapes of countries is she right?

Finally got to the 'puter, after crashing out this afternoon, after Wendy dropped me off at 10:30 am.

I would just like to reiterate that it was a vegetarian chicken pie (honest!) since the chicken head was made out of vegetables - maize, artichokes, carrots for the beak, a cauliflower for the eye and grapes for the wattles. Heat-n-bond to stick it down and raw edge fmq to hold it. The pie crust was shot silk, bagged out and crimped using a traditional 'Marlow' pattern from using a teaspoon to make the 3 arches.
I also had to scrounge some pale indigo scraps from Maureen for my sky - and Lorna following on from our discussion about how can you tell if it is a sunrise or a sunset - having checked out sunrise skies this morning - I think it has to do with the quality of the blue, rather than the skyblue pink colour, the sunrise blue is softer than the sunset blue.

We all had a brilliant time. Thank you again, Wendy, for driving. That is what made it possible for me to go. I checked in our 2013 map book this afternoon, there are a lot more roads on it around Glasgow, than you had on your 2000 map book :roll: :lol: Still we arrived safely in the end. :lol: 8) :lol:

I will try & find out how to move pictures about onto this new computer and post some up this week.

To Maureen, 'the Wee Yin', from the 'Wee-wee Yin', there is a good chance we might be able to meet up again, as DH really wants to come up & bring the canoe - the square sausage & map of Loch Lomond were much appreciated by himself.

The Kelpies were mentioned at dinner last night and Kim sent me the link to send to Wendy, Rosemary and Lorna. I thought maybe you all would find it interesting. It is about 1 hour from here.

Wow, what a stunning installation/sculpture?! Thanks for the link Maureen. And Wendy and Lorna thanks for the photos. It's great to see the other quilts close up. It looks like y'all had a great time. I'm guessing you will all sleep well tonight. :lol:

So happy that you enjoyed your visit and had a wonderful time at the LLQS. Thank you for the photos. Looking forward to read the great stories of your time together. So glad that you're all safe back home.

Hope that now that is over and the adrenaline slowed down you can have some rest and relaxing time Maureen.

Chickens Renata :lol: they caused quite a stir





We were really fascinated with how you and Nancy inserted the centre pieces. Superbly done

Yeh freed from the frame





The photos don't do justice to the beautiful colours and quilting in the sky and cabbages so much to look at
