Oops!!!

O/T  I've been working on a quilt for my niece for her wedding in 2013 - I've made 4 blocks so far - only another 76 to make 

where are these hosts from?  

My sister-in law went missing soon after....

Pengy how long does it take to make one?

continental brekki or full English - not a bad choice but nothing seems to be good enough for this lot 

Oh dear Amythist luckily this person knows I can be a bit scatty

only joking Baz.....Im sure you will be forgiven with a chuckle

to be honest it depends on how big you want it - atm I'm doing 2 blocks a day because I have material enough to do that and the time.  When my studies start again in September, it will be back to 1 a week.  Also I can't do hand sewing as I have arthritis so I machine stitch which does speed it up.

After the blocks are done, I've got to sash the blocks (put coordinating material on it) then put wadding and backing on and machine it in place (that can be a night mare although there is a quilt shop in South Birmingham that has a special machine that does it in a matter of minutes).  Then you have to bind it which is a combination of hand and machine stitching.  It is a lot of work but so worth it when you see the results    If you hand stitch blocks - you can do it just about anywhere at any time unlike machine stitching 

I suspect he will be picky despite what he's said 

The ones who go first often have an axe to grind....but they seem pretty decent

Evening in here 

The Wordsworth will be interesting   The meals are crap

Wow Im in awe,cant sew,wont sew,me.

We have a quilting shop in the village....but Ive never been in

which one is that?

I'm also lucky having the Rag Market because the wadding is cheaper there than in quilt shops and the material is so cheap - I can get some real bargains

The Cockermouth one Amythist  My friend used to own it years ago, I'm not overly keen on it now, it's a bit rowdy. Although I can't remember the two Essex sisters, so I'm wondering how ,long they have had it. 

Hey there Dame I did wonder if it was near you

Been in it loads Baz, we used to play some pub quizzes there too...

evening your Dameship   I shall pay extra attention to that one 

gawd this first host is tall 

I hate bread and butter pudding 

I'm way too thick to have worked out that the Ban in Banoffee pie is from bananas and the offee comes from toffee how utterly stupid of me 

Me too,pah!
