2012 PP Online Quilt Show!

I definitely like the architectural theme. I like straight lines (ask Jan) and I have several ideas. I once did a hanging reflecting the buildings in Hong Kong for my DILs parents as a thank you for a wonderful stay in Hong Kong and I think I might return to that theme in a slightly different way.

I'm saying this VERY quietly but I do believe the sun is shining! Yesterday we had sun, torrential rain, hail, thunder and lightening!

Hi all.....as I'm helping Jan, Rosemary and Katy organize this little adventure, I won't be entering the contest....BUT I will be creating a project to - hopefully - spur some of you on. I'm going to make a wallhanging, and if all works out, I'll be hand appliqueing it piece by piece and posting a picture of the progress. That's all I'll be saying about it for the time being, so you'll just have to watch this space every once in awhile to see if I have posted any updates. But for now here's the start of something new.... Picture 1 - Base Fabric and Picture 2 - First Fabric. Tessa x

Hi

I was going to back out of this as I do not have a competitive bone in my body and I do like everything I make to have a use!

I have had my machine out for my DD - she likes to make something out of very little and Mum usually provides the manual labour as she is good with ideas but doesn't sew!! A second hand foot stool for £5 plus a pair of red chenille curtains in the sale for £20 has resulted in a plush looking stool and (nearly finished) roman blind. It also started me thinking and I have an idea for this competition so I will draw it up but will have to wait a little to buy fabric......Hope I can get somthing done in time.

I've moved some messages from 'Coming soon..Temptation' as it is not very obvious what the thread is about anymore

Morning all you tempted quilting fans....here's the first two of 46 hand appliqued pieces set in place now. Tessa x

Hi to the 4 Musketeers,

Have to admit that I am worrying a bit about having entered this challenge. I have lost 7 weeks so far with my broken leg and it seems as if I shall have my leg in a splint (the plaster cast came of on Tusday) for another month. The splint makes stairs still difficult - driving virtually impossible and ordinary daily life much slower than normal! I'm just worried that I am going ot run out of time and let the side down. I think I have to pull out - sorry about this.

Love Margaret xx
