Morning Winnie, Happy New Year. Hope 2020 will treat you kindly. Hugs, Sylvia xx

Gosh am I first?! Only thing I finished from my Cosi Patchwork weekend but am pleased with it. Just done in time to show them at our meeting last Saturday.

Cushion for sitting room made from the easy Dresden Plate block.

Ha photo upside down as usual.

Lovely calendar Rosemary which finally arrived today. Not your fault. Delivery company here. Next year I must have it sent to a UK friend or family to post to me.

Well done everyone in it for the great work. I shall enjoy it month by month.

Bit late posting but at my Cosi Patchwork hotel weekend at end of last year we did 3 workshops. A woven bias binding block. I finished this one but really don't know what to do with it! I chose the colours for the kit via WhatsApp and they are not what I expected. Also it's very stiff because it's ironed onto some strong plasticy fusible sheet. Any ideas? Maybe a bag?

The easy Dresden Plate I do like and am in process of making mine into a cushion. They project was actually for a round bag.

Third was a pair of gnomes for Christmas. I bought the kit but couldn't do much of it with my broken arm as it involved a lot of hand sewing through thick fabric. Photo of a finished one.

Was a great weekend though.

I agree Margaret. I have a lovely place to sew and an embarrassing amount of fabric so must get on with it this year.

Hi and a very happy new year to everyone and my thoughts are with you in Australia. We can only read in horror and feel for you xxx

Morning Rosemary. If it's not too late could I please order a calendar. A mix of all our lovely PPers work will be wonderful to have on my kitchen wall for 2020.

If I had got myself organised I could have had it sent to UK for my daughter to bring when she comes but hey ho it will have to be postage to Spain.

Hello everyone,

I am still alive, although with a recovering broken left humerus. Not really sure why I haven't been on here for ages. Guess the summer is so much outside I don't do any sewing and don't think about PP. Sorry.

I went to my hotel weekend with the Cosi Patchwork group I belong to in Palma. Usual good time, although some things were impossible for me with my arm in a plastic splint. Managed machine sewing ok but hand sewing through thick fabric was too much.

I haven't even made any new Christmas things this year. I do have a LOT already!

Anyway I suddenly saw that it is the last month on my PP calendar and I haven't ordered one so will get onto that chat line.

A very happy and healthy Christmas and 2020 to everyone xxxxx

Fantastic Margaret.

Sending gentle hugs Maria and hope you get your appetite back. Have friend here who has appetite but can't put any weight on after serious op.

Just enjoyed the 5 pages of your uploads here Rosemary. Thanks very much, it's great to see it through the eyes of one of us. Maybe I will get there again one day and if August is always going to be as hot as this year here then I might need to escape. Difficult to leave the veg. patch though.

Have to stop on this pc upstairs in my sewing room now because I am dripping. No sewing being done here at present.

Hi everyone from me too,

I haven't forgotten you all but we changed internet provider and I changed my computer and it's summer and my veg. garden needs LOTS of attention and my daughter and S in L are here SO.... I am not dead and am going to enjoy all your reports of FoQ next week when things quieten down. xxxx

Sending gentle hugs Maria. Hope the investigations will lead to a treatment to ease the pain.

Great Rosemary, that's what we need, stitchers of the future. xxx

Brilliant quilt Jayne love the way the eye wanders around the various striking fabrics and great use of the stash. I should do the same lol xxx

Sorry to hear about all your family problems. Hugs xxx

What a pain Rosemary. Good luck with that one. Unpicking is not an option I choose at my advanced age!!! Would be tempted to quilt in various different colours to make it less obvious lol xxx

Fantastic Eileen.

Hi Rosemary, don't stress, everything sounds like great fun, well done you xxx

I often think about Katie and wonder how she is. I believe one or two of you are in touch with her?? Please give her my love if so and if she would welcome an email from me I would love to "talk" with her.

Wow, Janice, that is really beautiful and very impressive.

Hi everyone, not been on site much lately but now catching up with all the lovely things. I have seen pics of virus shawls but why are they called that?

A good friend of mine from UK p & q days now only seems to crochet. Like you Jayne I have never been able to follow a pattern.

Oh my goodness Eileen, that looks SO complicated. Well done, it's stunning.
