I think I'd like a bit more of a 'UK' section rather than just an 'international corner'.

I would like to post a thread with web sites I have found, another with suppliers I have used and another with shows I have heard about not just show you what I made over here, just like you do with these items in the US.

It would perhaps then encourage others, even other county members if there were enough per country, to come forward perhaps and ask for an OZ or Swiss or Norwegian section etc.

Truly make TQS international.

Ann, no problem. We make you an Honorary Brit.

If you check the 'search' function, there are over 200 members in the UK alone. Quite a number will not read the forum, but you never know. Some of them may just be too shy to participate

I am not a "UK quilter" but am interested in quilts, life style etc. from the UK and other places where there are TQS members. Maybe we could get a group of categories for quilts and photos from different countries. Alex, how about it? Hugs, Ann

That's great Lorchen! Even if we start with just the four of us it could probably encourage others out of the woodwork too.

It feels good when you have the right head on to clear the decks of WIP's! Unfortunately all mine are to do with decorating and making the house straight fisrt. My head is so full to bursting with things I want to do I've started making notes!! Can't life be a right pain when work gets in the way eh!!

I'm all for it. I sometimes get 'confuselled' by the differences between the US and the UK when it comes to quilting.

I also occasionally go to small quilt exhibitions, if they are within reach of where I live, but I have never posted about it in 'Quilt Shows', because it's only of interest to anybody who is in the UK. If we had our own 'wee corner', we might end up meeting.

I've just finished the bindings on two quilts (pictures in my profile), and will pick up one of my numerous WIPs (I just love starting something new, and then get side-tracked by stuff like my job) and see if I can't finish something else.

My next treat will be going to FoQ in August (Ali will be there too). I'm sure we can set up a meet.

I did the petition. We updated our Whistleblowing Policy at the end of last year so was really shocked they could get away with that!!

You will find what you're looking for at Malvern no doubt.

Hi Ladies
have just emailed Lorchen and told her about this catagory, we need to have quite a few interested people for it to stay!

Yep, good idea, on a more serious note, the Panorama prog. tonight was about the nurse Margaret Haywood, don't know if you saw it, anyway, if you go to timesonline there is a link to sign the petition to get her reinstated if you feel that it would be justified! What are you ladies working on at the moment? I am having trouble finding fabric for a border for a quilt I have had on the go for months!

But the garden needed it ...

I think a UK section could be very useful, and even expand that to any other country that's well represented on TQS. If I ever visit Australia I'll want to know all the unmissable quilt stops

Must be our great minds being washed clean with all the rain we've had today.

Wow Amanda
that was quick, just posted a reply saying I would enquire about it and you had already done it!!! LOL. I thnk it would be good for us to be able to swap local info. I mean local in as much as on the same continent! lol

Could we have a section where we could talk UK quilting please?

It would be a useful place to come to ask any questions were you visiting the UK too.
