    Chicky - have posted you my "Q" square.

    Emzy - I would offer to do yet another square, but I have already done 3, and as my eye is still a bit iffy, I may not get much stitching done in the next week or two, so won't be much use to anyone!!

    Been a busy day running around here and there, with no stitching done at all. As I say with my eye still a bit scratchy and sore, I may steer away from sewing for a bit...being on here isn't helping either!!

    Off to get the pizza base started for tea...DH is bringing some nice salami/ham for the top :j.

    Have a great weekend...looks like it will be a great one weather-wise :A
    :T:A

    keiss - square is here safe and sound.......... tho you had me wondering for half the morning what I had bought from Amazon without realising! :D

    will give lellypants another week to post the stuff to me - if not will message her hubby again as it seems the only way to get through to her.
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    Feel a little bit upset. I sent both my squares - J & Donations by Sew & So, to Lelly and I sent a wee pin cushion as a thank you. Glad all is all working out now. Sorry not been on much - so much stress at home.

    Kind wishes

    sweetcarer ;)

    sweetcarer that is so sweet that you sent her a little gift. I dont mind saying, I know life can get in the way sometimes and its disgraceful the way she has treated us.

    I agree. It wouldn't have taken much time or effort to post on here and say she could no longer do the quilting for us. I used to run cross stitch exchanges in my online stitching group and I got so sick of people not following through with their commitments, but not bothering to tell anyone either. I'm now refusing to organise any more exchanges on there because it's too much stress and hassle.

    We're understanding people and know that sometimes in life things happen and you have to prioritise different things, but if you've agreed to do something, you should at least have the decency to let people know if you can no longer do what you've said you would so other arrangements can be made. At least we're getting on track now (once she finally gets around to sending out the squares that have already been sent to her) and we can carry on.
    I'm really looking forward to seeing what the quilt looks like when it's completed.

    Happy to do another square if needed, particularly if there are french knots. ;)

    :rotfl:Sorry chicky...it was the first "envelope" I came across in my stash!!!:rotfl:

    Quite a good one I thought, as being card it stopped the square from getting bent
    /crushed in the post. Glad it reached you OK.

    Forgot to say we still have 2 of the 'word' squares left to do, Ive not yet received the spare squares from Dora but I just wondered if anyone else wants to do one and then maybe if someone else wants to do one a square could be posted straight out to that person?

    :o oopsy - will search for it saturday morning (am sorry am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy atm I am having trouble finding my own backside!) :eek:

    I know the material is in the house -as is my quilt square which has wandered off again.

    Can only put it down to old age, senility and the fact that dh's new job has had him working 14 hour shifts recently so we are all over the place with everything.
