    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Love your logic! I'd probably do the same...

    Just realised that I've forgot to tell you all that I popped into Sew & So when I was visiting my family. The lady in the shop didn't know anything about the quilt (the shop & warehouse are seperate businesses, so I didn't think they would know), so I explained who I was and what we were doing. She said Yvette would love to hear about the we got on with the quilt and I told her we are planning on sending photos anyway. I tried hinting to my mum that maybe we could drop in on the warehouse to see Yvette and thank her (can you imagine being in the the Sew & So warehouse???? :D) but she wouldn't drive me. :(

    Yep. The shop is in the town-same road as the library-and the warehouse is in the Chalford Industrial Estate.
    I grew up in Quedgeley. Where abouts are you?

    hey, who should i pm about what i should write as my name. i live in a very small market town and there's two of the same name in the country. the nearest bigger town is in the next county (its lovely but has a long name), so i supose id do the nearest in my county, even though its not as nice!! lol! i'm worrying as my surname is 7 letters, (my first name is 9, though shortened to 4, but i guess i'd just use the initial? oh, i think i've worked it out anyway now. ho hum.
