I have just received confirmation that our registration form for Chinese Whispers has arrived at the Loch Lomond Quilt Show headquarters. Now we just have to wait a little bit longer for the photograph to arrive and then - we are off

I am sure you are all terrific quilters with different skills judging by your photos in your profiles. All your Chinese Whisper quilts will be a beautiful sight to behold. We will be the stars of the show.

Ditto!

Looks like they had a lot of wonderful quilts this year. Thanks for the link, Maureen! My needles are sharpened, even if my mind is a little dull...

Maureen, such wondrous quilts--will take more that sharpening our needles to stay afloat at Loch Lomond... but it will be fun and a total joy to participate in Chinese Whispers...

Thanks for the link Maureen - some stiff competition then! Ladies I hope you are sharpening your needles.

Maureen, Thank you so much for that beautiful link. Some of the quilts were jaw-dropping beautiful!

Here is a site that is talking about this years Loch Lomond Quilt Show (held in May) by a lady who visited it. You will get an idea of what part of it was like. I thought she might have had some photos of the Chinese Whispers exhibition but she only had the last quilt in it. Maybe somewhere else there are other photos.

That's a good point Rita. Never thought abou it that way.

Well Limbania I think the key there is that he doesn't have to spend all the time in either climate - lucky him.

I'm the one that will have an issue with the cold and rain. DH has been working in the north coast of Alaska for almost 30 years. Lived in Anchorage, AK for almos 20. I lived there for 5 years and as much as I love summertime there, winters are too much for me. I was told I'd get used to the cold, never did DH regular schedule is 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, except during summer when the "big" projects happen (6-9 weeks). I don't know how he can go from -45c in AK to 15c in AZ during winter :shock: Even now, he left last Wed at 38c and got to work to 5c and snow. He's pretty adaptable.
