Good afternoon....me again......I've just looked at "our " account....we have had 122 loans completely repaid.....we have invested £400 in total......we have made 152 loans......and actually loaned £2,400....and donated £63 to Care International to run the charity! All that since May 2014!! Rosemary x

Good afternoon everyone......we have had more repayments this month....so I have made more loans. There are warnings about the difficulties....which are as I expected....and obviously greater risk of some loanees defaulting.....BUT.....we have only had one loan not being repaid in a very very long time....so I think that is a risk worth taking! I hope you agree!! Rosemary x

This years FoQ is live...so take a look at all the quilts on line ! I entered one into the traditional quilts category and I saw 2 by Brenda..a miniature and a modern one....should I be looking for anyone else? We didn't win...sadly...!!

That is a "pretty" quilt Margaret....well done!! Best Rosemary x

Some of you may recognise some of these blocks...from this swap! They were all made for my dear friend Sheila who sadly lost her fight with leukemia! Her intention was to make a quilt for her own bed...and she had collected fabrics to use and made a couple of blocks in between various treatments...Sarah , another friend and WI member have just completed it and we delivered it this afternoon!

Sarah embroidered the label...and in case you are wondering why there are robins....Sheila always said that when you saw a robin...it was a sign that a loved one was near! So there had to be robins!

Good to hear from you Maria...even in such circumstances! And I am sure your mojo will return soon!

Maybe WE should have a postcard swap soon!

What do you think? Rosemary xx

My latest project...I just have to find the velcro now...so that I can finish it! Rosemary x

Here are a couple of pictures of "things" using the cork fabric. If anyone is interested ....Plush Addict have some for sale and have a free guide to using cork fabric online. If you don't want to buy a lot.....a fat quarter costs £4.95 from them...get in touch and I'll see what I can do!

I'm sure she'll be pleased! Rosemary x

I'm glad you like it! The cork fabric sews like a dream..I haven't tried seams yet...you can't really press it...but I have seen bags and purses made with it!

Well done everyone....especially Sylvia.......but most especially Margaret.....a little something will be in the post soon!

Best Rosemary x

I'll see what I can do! Rosemary x

Well Lend with Care is open for business again....although we've not had tooooo many repayments as yet! But I/we did have enough to make one loan....so I have chosen a group in Georgia....(former Soviet Union) who are tea producers! Best Rosemary

I don't know about Margaret...but when I was making the gipsy wife quilts I attached a piece of wadding over a large bookcase...by putting heavy books on the top....and used that....IF I had to move it...it could be rolled up! Not perfect...but it did work! Best Rosemary x

I had looked really closely...and I hadn't spotted it...! Rx

Lovely to hear from you Tina....we're a bit quieter than we used to be...but plenty of help available...just ask!

Rosemary x

That is really pretty! You're right .....it will be interesting to see the 2 together!! R x

I'm sure she'll love it Eileen.....I know I would! Rosemary
