Clean my sewing room? Noooo, I am sure I will find a much more inopportune moment to do that, like right in the middle of working on my CW quilt. I am definitely feeling the tremors already. :shock:

I knew I could count on you Renata to put me straight. 12th October it is so. Let the quaking in boots begin!

Arrrgggghhh it's getting near

Enjoy it Rosemary, you can have a day off a week sunday

Rita, I just looked at the spreadsheet Maureen provided us. Since Rosemary was not home when the package probably arrived, if we assumed that on her arrival home today from holiday, 21 August is her official start date, by my calculation, she must have it posted to you no later than 11 October. If the start date is tomorrow, 22 August, on the assumption she got home late today, then she must post it NLT 12 October to you.

Nancy's quilt arrived to me close to the end of the day so I claimed the next morning bright and early as my start date. However, that will be sorted out between Rosemary and Maureen. I'm just giving you an idea of what to expect. When you receive Rosemary's quilt, then you will count 51 days to get the date by which you must post yours to Wendy.

Rita, I'm sure Maureen will update our spreadsheet--then you can calculate for sure when you will have to start sweating the small stuff!

Rosemary, tell your DH that I am very happy for you to keep it simple! Good luck with it and I look forward to seeing it soon. I have lost track of how long we are supposed to have to work on the quilt. Renata, I know you are good at this kind of thing...??? When will I expect to be freaking out from the stress?

Welcome back, Rosemary! Glad you had a nice time on holiday. Best wishes on the Chinese Whispers journey--have fun with it!

Well I didn't get washed out to sea, and arrived home today to find Lois's quilt sitting quietly on the doorstep waiting for me

Thanks to Lois for sending me a picture before I went away, I was able to start thinking about it, but when I put pencil to paper DH looked at the first scribblings and said that it was far too simple for me to be doing - I'd hardly got started by that point

Aren't you all very bold!

#4 is Nancy's and I still have it... learning all her techniques from it...

I might keep yours Rita

What's has happened to No. 2 and No. 4? Has somebody decided that the quilts are too nice to send on to Maureen?

Big sigh of relief!! I will have the final sigh when Rosemary posts having received mine. We are moving right along!

Lois, Lorna and Renata,

Renata's quilt arrived safe and sound with me lunchtime today, the day after it was posted by Lorna (or her husband).
I haven't opened it. I will wait until my daughter comes home from work and let her know it is here then she can take it home with her, open it and put it out flat where all the quilts will go.

I have mine # 1, Limbania's # 3 and now Renata's # 5 back to me in Scotland. Only seven more to come and then we are all set for the CW exhibition
