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.

We're doing our county not town as a few of us live in small towns so hope that helps and full name would be best (or whatever you shorten it to) or if it wont fit...i know some peoples wont then just put your first initial and surname

I'm going to wait with my square for the time being until there's a picture of a final completed square, so I know where the name and place should go in the boarder, unless someone can draw a sketch?

I was going to put my county on, so it's more general.

My first quilt update :j:j I'm going to complete the letter then figure out the extra border, name etc

please feel free to write your name and county however you are comfortaabel and think fits best in the space provided.

Your options are:
I.e. for Frank Bloggersbottom living in Yorkshire (username: bloggy35) he could write:

Frank - Yorkshire
Bloggy35 - Yorkshire
Bloggersbottom - Yorkshire (a very tight fight)
F. Bloggersbottom - Yorkshire (an even tighter fight)

Hope that helps people.

Getting started




Before adding letter J



Going to do more tonight - not done anything on my Golden Earth. Been to the hospital to see mum - not easy to see her during week - she is looking well but is still on drip. She says thank you for all your kind messages.

Kind wishes to all

Just bumping this bit up a bit from last page

"Have got a few people to sort out still cos haven't got their SAE's/don't know their real names and cant match up letters! Have got a lovely letter and SAE from Lesley in Strathpeffer but don't know your MSE name to match up and send you the right letter - please let me know and I can send it asap. Just realised it is probably Lelc (doh) but would like to make sure before I post it, just in case (especially since my MSE name bears resemblance to my real name!)

Still to sort/send:
