That's okay, Rita, I didn't mind at all looking at it twice. What a lovely, lovely quilt. I am sure that beautiful appliqué was lots of work. It's just beautiful.

Wowser! that is one cool quilt, and so fresh looking

Oh my goodness that is so beautiful! ONLY two years?! Love the border too.

Thanks ladies. Susan that border nearly sent me over the edge!

Very strange. There are two photos the same but when I go back in to edit one out there is only one. Oh well!

Awesome, Rita! The spools are cool, but that border is over the top!

Rita!! Fantastic!!!! It was time well spent for such a beautiful quilt.

Way to go, Rita! It is gorgeous!! Now....where did I put my spool blocks so they would be safe????

Well it's only taken me two years to complete but I have finally finished my Wot RoTT quilt! I am so delighted with it and will cherish all of your contributions so much, thank you, I couldn't have done it without you.



Okay so I had to adjust Michel's words to suit my purpose, but I doubt that he would mind. I am off to post a photo in show and tell.

I started putting together a book with Roseanne/Romira called Reels & Recipts, with scans of all the reels & the recipes that turned up with the reel names. It was going along reasonably well (if slowly) until last yearwhen I left it a bit long and it got deleted by Blurb the book people. I have since got all the reels re-entered and some of the avatars of those that took part. Unfortunately Roseanne, who had collected all the recipes hasn't been able to do any re-entering, and I haven't heard from her in ages.....

Because of how Blurb have set up one of their versions of print-on-demand edit your own book, it is possible for anyone with the relevant user name/password to be able to access it regardless of location - thus Roseanne, in US, Rita in Ireland & myself in UK are able to go in and add stuff. When others admit to having finished their reels quilts I will invite them to log in and enter a picture of their quilt to go with the others. But I am keeping the vital info close to my chest so that I don't have every Thomasina, Richenda or Harriet poking about and possibly mucking it up.

However if someone else wants to help with recipe entry I would be delighted to have the help...

Sorry, Rosemary, but what book are you referring to and is it something we can access online? Thanks!

Rita if you go to the book, you can look up all the variations I had and scanned - and while you are there could you re post the AAQI quilts you made too, as they got lost last year

I am making one last attempt to find the owners of these two spools. Please if you know who they belong to could you email me to give me a name and location to put with them on my quilt. Ironically I have two of the green one so in total I am missing 3 names from the quilt.

Thanks all for the anniversary wishes. I had a great day sewing. DH made a fire in the wood burning stove so I was warm. The snow fall was beautiful, but I am anxiously waiting for spring. DH is carrying in more wood, so I will get another fire today.
