Got it !!

Oooh! That part looks so wonderful! Now onto the next bit... Oh maybe not that. Ok, that looks better! Thinking ahead I am going to need some of this... Where will I find that?

Walking through Brighton... Perfect! I found some. Can't wait to get home on Monday to work the next bit.

Got it?

Lorna

Lois, looking forward to receiving the mug rug. That is great that there is another label coming and yes you have done everything, CW quilt, 100 words and now the label. I am still waiting on a couple of 100 words and some labels - you know who you are but I won't name and shame you yet

No, I haven't heard anything from TQS. They are maybe waiting until nearer the time

Maureen, I wish I were there to help you. Just posted on the Mug Rug thread that I mailed 4 Mug Rugs today, yours being among them. I didn't mention that my label is also in the envelop. Drum roll, please! I think I am finished with my Whispers Across the Pond responsibilities! Am I right? And, how many of us can say that? Time to get on the stick everyone. Make Maureen's life a little easier! Can't wait to see the quilts? Maureen have you heard from anyone at TQS. All I recieved was a "Thank you from Capt John and that he sent the info on to Lilo.

How's it going Lorna you are very quiet

Good job, Maureen! I'm sure it will all come together beautifully with such a good team!

Just thought I would let you know that the early bird tickets for the LLQS are up on the website now. There are also a couple of the evening events as well. Exhibitions will be added soon as we are still trying to figure exactly what we have and what to put where. I keep going into the website and see the days counting down and it is really scary how fast the days are flying by. Our vast team (Isabel and me) are doing a great job.

Rosemary love your new photo.

As far as I know Lois there is nobody from the USA coming to the LLQS. I quite understand as airfares are very expensive just to come over for that. If it was for a holiday to Scotland and then take in the show while they were here would be different.

Lorna, sorry to hear you might not get up to the show. A real pity as you were so looking forward to it. Try your best so we can all meet up at some point. As Wendy mentioned the show is on from Wednesday to Saturday as the venues want their churches back for services on the Sunday. You can always decide before hand when the exhibitions are up which ones you want to see the most and on the Saturday you could see quite a few in the day if you didn’t stay too long in a venue. If you let me know which venues I can always plan out the best route to go.

Is anybody from the USA going to the Quilt Show in May?

Oh Lorna, that sure is a bummer! I wonder has Rosemary booked her room yet? I haven't booked mine because I am still not sure how long I can go for. I might only be able to make it for the Friday and Saturday too.

I hope your inspiration can meet up with your abilities for this quilt. If it's any consolation, I know exactly how you are feeling right now. Good luck with it.

Yes it was non refundable for the good rate. What a shame you are getting a shortened trip.

The show is weds to Saturday so you'll just get Saturday for seeing it. I booked until Sunday because I knew I wouldn't want to drive home late after the show. We'll still have a good get together Friday when you arrive, I do hope you'll make it.

Oh that quilt I do feel for you, having an idea is quite different to carrying it out, I'm sure it'll turn out great

Sorry Nancy cross posted but the hotel has wifi so we'll be able to be in touch

Hi Lorna -

Sorry that you won't be able to make the show, or at least part of it! What a bummer!! Wish I could take your room, but I'll be attending my niece's college graduation in Kansas instead. But I will be with everyone in spirit (and maybe in Skype, as someone suggested). I'm sure your quilt will be beautiful and I can't wait to see it!!
