Don't forget to pop over to Sues blog and say a big thankyou. she has some peeks at some gorgeous new quilts she is taking to Houston next week. Yes, one week today and we hit the skies, so its back to work for me now.
All angels, you now have until the 30th October to finish those projects and get them in the mail to your partners. I know some of you still have not heard anything, I am chasing up where I can but will be away now until the 22nd so will chase them up again after the 30th if things still have not arrived. Please be good angels for me – I know you will.
hugs
Helen
