I'm glad you all had such a wonderful time. I enjoyed the pictures. Lea your quilt is wonderful.

Just back from the FoQ It was great meeting up with Norma, Rita, Janet (the lurker), Pam and Lorchan. I didn't buy much fabric (just enough to prove that I had been :wink: ) and most intended for my 1718 quilt. I also finally got around to replacing my 18" ruler with one that doesn't 'bow' in the middle. I also got some RT Stable Stuff to play with - wondering if it could be used for epp? going to be interesting to experiment.

And tomorrow in the remains of Hurricane Bertha DH & are on a canoe water safety course - :roll: Hey-ho! I'lll be back when I have dried out :lol:

Stay safe, Rosemary! app? Is the answer going to make me feel stupid.

Wendy, Thanks for all the news from Birmingham. Have some fun for me!

Lois, it's "epp" -- english paper piecing. One of Rosemary's many specialties.

Looks like you are all having a great time! Thanks for the pictures! Lea's quilt is amazing, as is Lorna's!

[twiglet]

Before you say anything, it's good to see things from another angle

[loise98]

Wendy, How clever! Your right it's often a very good idea to look at things from a new perspective.

BTW, Everyone/Anyone, I have been having trouble with the links from my emails to the Forum. This morning I finally just gave up and went straight to View New Posts and got caught up with what's going on here. I am thinking it might be work on the new website causing this problem. Just sits and spins. I'd rather be quilting.

Rita & Lorchen your quilts are looking quite good I must say. They are better than good. Absolutely, gorgeous! Thanks so much for the post, Wendy.

Thanks for the pictures of all the very lovely quilts! When I click on them to see up close, they are in the proper perspective
Looks like a fab show. Good job, quilters!

[rehak]

Wow, you ladies sure are talented! What beautiful quilts!!

[rehak]

Amongst other things I discovered was that freezer paper was excellent for packing my lunch of Spanish omelette. So you can use it for food too - who knew? :P
Hope the QP don't come after me for misuse of quilting equipment :wink: :lol:
