Well...nothing planned...wish I'da tho't a that when I was in construction... But no hidden messages !

Finally got to the 'puter, after crashing out this afternoon, after Wendy dropped me off at 10:30 am.

I would just like to reiterate that it was a vegetarian chicken pie (honest!) since the chicken head was made out of vegetables - maize, artichokes, carrots for the beak, a cauliflower for the eye and grapes for the wattles. Heat-n-bond to stick it down and raw edge fmq to hold it. The pie crust was shot silk, bagged out and crimped using a traditional 'Marlow' pattern from using a teaspoon to make the 3 arches.
I also had to scrounge some pale indigo scraps from Maureen for my sky - and Lorna following on from our discussion about how can you tell if it is a sunrise or a sunset - having checked out sunrise skies this morning - I think it has to do with the quality of the blue, rather than the skyblue pink colour, the sunrise blue is softer than the sunset blue.

We all had a brilliant time. Thank you again, Wendy, for driving. That is what made it possible for me to go. I checked in our 2013 map book this afternoon, there are a lot more roads on it around Glasgow, than you had on your 2000 map book Still we arrived safely in the end.

I will try & find out how to move pictures about onto this new computer and post some up this week.

To Maureen, 'the Wee Yin', from the 'Wee-wee Yin', there is a good chance we might be able to meet up again, as DH really wants to come up & bring the canoe - the square sausage & map of Loch Lomond were much appreciated by himself.

And Nancy

Marilyn, I go through that roundabout every day going to the studio so it was very apt that you put your geese on your quilt. The geese are the symbol of the National Park.

Glad you all had a marvelous time! Golly ! This has been so much fun ! And I can't wait to see more photos.
Get a rest and lets us know how to compensate you, Lorna for the post....

Wow ! So that's where those geese came from, Lorna !! :shock: Plum amazing !! Thanks for taking that photo !

They were over24" ins Sue and under40 something. I know that because Maureen made me add 1/4" and Rita had to slice some off.

Thanks for explaining Limbania I loved it.

No Maureen the M 8 was coned off at the airport. We went Paisley, East Kilbride and Hamilton but there was a motorway we went both ways and roads were renumbered or not there plus you understand what my navigators are like.

Here's Maureen's quilt for those who haven't seen it by other means, perhaps someone has a better picture showing detail





Stunning best of show!
