No Maureen Chinese Whispers will be crossing the pond not me.

Not long until your trip then. We promise not to post anything while you are away.

I think Wendy was referring to the quilt Maureen. Speaking of crossing the pond...is anybody seriously considering going to Loch Lomond for the festival next year? I had a look online and it is from 14th to 17th May. Maureen, would you know if it would be necessary to book this far in advance for accommodation?

Where are you going in the States? Three weeks yesterday I will be going to France with my sister to visit her daughter who lives there, can't wait. Hopefully they have internet so I can see the forum every day instead of pages and pages to read when I get back

I'm amazed at how fast the time is going by !!

Lois, it must feel good to be on the final stretch of your part of this journey. Before you know it, your beautiful quilt will be posted and then Rosemary will be waiting in anticipation for her turn, and then Rita and then Wendy and then.., and then... and then before you know it, it will be time for Loch Lomond!

How exciting only a few more weeks and it'll be heading across the pond again

That's good to know Maureen, thanks. Lois, it sounds like you are on the home stretch now. Good for you. I hope it's plain sailing for the rest of the process.

Lois, I thought it would be ok as facing do cover the edges but to make sure I have just been in touch with the LLQS and Ruth says that facings are fine they just didn't want raw edges as that would not look very nice on hung quilts. I hope that helps

Because I am nearing the time allowed for me to finish my segment of the CWQ Challenge I reviewed the rules and its a good thing I did. I was considering using a facing to finish the edge and the rules say it must be bound. I am assuming a facing would not be a binding, it would be a facing. Am I right in that assumption? I am not there yet but I must be planning differently than my original intention if facings are not considered bindings.

No problem Nancy, I will do that.

Nancy you have the group name, your name and no.4. I know they are not quite in order but the only thing you haven't put in is the Group no CW004. I can put the no. on with a Sharpie or I can still put this one on but make a paper one for the show or you can send me another one if you would be happier with that. It is your quilt so you choose and I will do whatever you want.

Maureen - Sorry I didn't quite get the label information correct! Let me know if you want me to send you a new one.

Renata - I delayed on sending Limbania's quilt to Maureen for the same reason! I just couldn't decide on a quilt name so couldn't make the label.

Lorna - I figured you were unavailable for some reason, and hoped it was because you were having some fun. Sounds like a great trip!!
