Positive/Negative
This week I have done two cushions, one is finished the other half finished, they are from Dilys Fronks pattern and by doing a stencil onto bondaweb then putting on to your fabric and cutting out you can then use the piece you have cut away, so have to be very careful when cutting out. I have done this method before a few years ago, the photos of the blue and black bell pulls. It is another method that I really do enjoy doing. Also this week our housegroup met at Margaret H's house most enjoyable day lovely lunch as usual, Tuesday committee meeting, bit heated at times I thought. On Wednesday morning Brian and I went to the cinema to see Senna, very moving film, sad as he was killed but gave a good insight into Formula One and Brian and myself are avid fans., then we went to lunch (two lunches out again this week and I think am out to lunch again tomorrow) when am going over to Weedon with Christine to a fabric sale then a visit to Bramble Patch and the other quilt shop at the shopping village down on th A5. Life is so busy when you are retired!!

Had a fantastic day at Threads and Patches yesterday, There were seventeen of us and we were given six demonstrations in the morning, hand quilting, a super cushion (photo when I have made it) knitting ( have finished one scarf) card making, and a quick and easy way to do drunkards path, free sample kit with this. Every demo was so interesting and then we had a superb buffet lunch then it was time to shop and boy did we shop and came home really motivated, feel the need to shut myself in my workroom and just have a go at everything.

F.A.O. Diana
Had to abandon everything this morning to make the bookcover as it is Hamtune tonight and Diana will want to know if I have done it, if not why not. It is actually very quick and easy and is the first item now to go in the box for christmas gifts
what an idiot
I have just made the biggest mistake ever, if I was still at school I would be in detention for a year if I wasn't expelled first. I have deleted the last 25 postings to my blog, didn't realise that by deleting on the list of posts would actually delete from my blog, I could weep, and what makes it worse is it's Hamtune tonight and I really will have to suffer the wrath of Mrs. G, perhaps I'll go sick. What I am going to do is redo the post I put on this morning then just add some photos
