There once was a quilter called Lynn
Who made quilts with a glass rolling pin... :

There once was a quilter called Rita
Who made yummy bread with a beata
With buttermilk salt and flour
It was done in a hour
Oh nothing on earth could be sweeta

So here goes....

There once was a quilter called Nella,
Who tried to convince her old fella,
Of the importance of stash,
Not to hoard all his cash,
Especially if he wanted any dinna!

There once was a quilter named Rita,
...?

I am sort of hoping that somebody gets to do a limerick. They are fun. Although I would really like everybody to hurry up too! We could entertain ourselves by doing a round robin limerick?

How fortunate you are, Rosemary to have such a lovely, capable assistant! Please give her a hug for us.

Well the bad news is that there won't be any entries to the limerick competition from the non-american contingent of this exchange

As of Monday morning we had 103 sets of reels arrived and mostly half-sorted. Lorna & I are discussing when we will get together to join, jumble & split them up. We are also wondering what to do with the spare reels that many of you have kindly sent in to help cover shortages.

And thanks to a wonderful present of swiss chocolate from Lotti, I had the wherewithall to pay for some child labour to help

This thread has been so quite over the weekend. Hope everyone is doing well. Rosemary do you have any updates on the arrivals?

We'll all get there, I have no worries! And however long it takes my blocks to fly across the ocean is fine. They are absorbing all the good ideas posted here and no doubt will fling themselves onto my design wall, all shouting their ideas of what they want to be! How much fun this will be.
Thank you again, Rosemary and Lorna
Kathy

I'm with Pam!

Latest News from Headquarters

I have just had a 'Worried in USA' about getting her reels to England in time for the cut off date. Therefore I have made an excutive decision - Anyone who doesn't get their reels into the post by 29 February has a forfeit of finishing the following limerick

'There once was a quilter named ...(own name here)

You won't be chucked out of the exchange for being late, BUT I might name you so everyone else can send you hurry up e-mails

Thanks to all for their useful information on quilt shops/museums in UK.
