    Kezbabybabe - are you able to upload the scanned charts into somewhere that we could download from are is it easier for everyone to send you their e-mail address??

    Please could you put your letter nice and large when you choose one so i don't miss it in the next update.

    Have lurked on here for ages and I would love to stitch a square if there is still one available - might also be able to do the quilting for my square if an experienced quilter could give me some instructions. Any letter would be fine.

    Thanks

    Well my initial is chosen, so could I do my daughter's instead - A

    If we need people to do a second letter then I'm happy to do any letter that is left over.


    Could I make a suggestion?

    The alphabet that has been chosen has letters of all the one colour. I know not everyone will have that colour so could we perhaps settle on a main colour for everyone and then people can choose shades of that colour according to what they have in their stash.

    For example, I think lots of shades of blue would look nicer than having one blue, one yellow, one red etc, plus it's much harder to co-ordinate the colours together so we don't get three blue, one green, one purple etc...

  • I'll do any letter, i'm not fussy me. I'm not fussy me. If people want me to i could as one of the 3 people i know with servers (things that you use to run websites) if they'll provide us a linky for the pdf, then it will mean people with it wont have to email a millon people (although i will need a copy to give them). Let me know if yo want me to do this?

    If were going with correct chart colours i will need dontions, as i dont have many threads.

    Also what colour are we wanting our background fabric, white/ off white/ ecru etc.

    And we need to check with quilters...who we are short of, for how much margin we need to leave on the fabric.

    I like that idea.

    thank you.

    i think we are sticking with white as i assume everyone will have a leftover bit of that in their stashes.

    hmm - this is a bit of a pain - wonder why noone has come forward.....

    Am happy to do D for Dorastar and dragon (we are quite similar!). Can do another if there is enough time before the deadline.

    Have just left a message for a friend of mine who does quilting to ask about fabric around for stitching into a quilt - and think she might have a copy of the charts too.

    Am happy to sort out threads for everyone if that's what we want to do - have a feeling I might be able to put the 'gentle' squeeze on a few suppliers as it's for a good cause, but need to get the chart first for obvious reasons!
