LOL!! Well for myself, I would just love to know how to find that extra padding,

You figure out a way, and I'd be happy to send you some of mine.

And, I'll have to go find your golden oldies pics.

LOL!! I'm not complaining - always been a Larry Lanky!! But, boy do I feel the cold in the winter.

I imagine you do get cold in Wales. Do you have wet winters? Are they raining or snowy? Sorry to say, but I know little about Wales.

We usually get lots of snow and very cold, but typically dry weather (well, low humidity), so doesn't feel as cold as it could.

 

[chandab]

WooHoo! Its finally done. Only a few minor problems, but that's ok (one being a couple small tucks in the backing fabric, but I was told that 's where you tuck the love).

 

[chandab]

Thanks, Diane. Glad you like it.

I have quilt guild meeting tonight, and I usually get mixed responses to my work, but I don't care, cause I like and enjoy what I do, and that's what matters.

Oh Chanda, another beautiful quilt, just fantastic and I love the idea of a tuck in it for the love!

To answer your previous question, the weather here in Wales is well known for it's rainfall, winter or summer (mind you this summer has excelled itself with rain even for Wales!!) and we can get quite a bit of snow during the winter months, but it is rare for the temperature to stay below freezing for long - rather it goes below for several days then up again and continues up and down approx Dec to March. Like everywhere the cold but dry seems to cause no problem, but the wet, cold and windy can make things difficult for animals and humans alike!

I thought Wales was wet, but really didn't know.

Last night, it was all good. Lots of oohs and aahs.

 

[AnnaC]

Quite right too!! It's worth LOADS of ooh's and aah's!

Thank you.

I've already got the next one waiting in the wings to get started on, but it already has a home, I'm making it for a retired neighbor that helps us alot with branding, shipping, and etc. [We usually reciprocate the work, but since he's retired, we can't do that, so I thought I'd make him a quilt.]

 

[chandab]

A couple more quilts.

Not sure if I've shared this one or not, its on my website, I think:



Picture was taken before I finished it, its now finished. [this one is probably larger lap sized, I'd have to measure.]

And, this one I just took a picture tonight, I think I made it two winters ago, the focus fabric (black background) is called "monsters in the closet":



It ended up a little girlie wiht the hot pink, but when I was making it, I didn't have anything on hand other than the yellow and the pink to coordinate, so that's what I used. I think it turned out darling. [this one is baby/toddler size, so like 45x55"]

 

[JAX]

Wow you are talented!

 

[AnnaC]

They are fantastic Chanda - and i love the idea of making one for your helpful neighbour, I'm sure he will be thrilled.

 

[chandab]

Thank you both, I appreciate the compliments.

 

[chandab]

They are all simply stunning!!!!

Thank you.

totally off-topic, but... Wish me luck. I'm having my 4th annual Open House for my quilting supply business (I mostly sell on eBay), and got a call today, the ladies have gotten together and there will be twenty of them having lunch in the small town near me, then desending on my place like locusts about 1:30PM. Last year, I think there were only like 12 of them, as a few were gone for various reasons.

I woke up this morning feeling crappy, I think its allergies, but not sure; I feel a bit better when I'm inside, so I've been pricing, marking down and cleaning house, which reminds me, I need to get back to the dishes, I started then got sidetracked like an hour ago, so will need fresh warm water.

 

[JAX]

Good Luck!

Oh and dont forget to have a good time too!!

 

[Wings]

Good luck!!
