Thanks Sue. The colours are going to be very useful and will let you know how the self-healing bit lasts.

Thank you Jane! It takes a bit of a ‘leap of faith’ to use sweet wrappers in something that you are going to sew. I was concerned that the sewing may rip the papers, but sometimes you just have to go for it!

Thank you Nina! Yes, Teresa was in my mind when I thought about the title – I couldn’t think of anything better as a title!

Thank you Maggie! Some members of my quilt group thought Sweets for my Sweet as well.

Thank you Teresa – your blog titles inspired my blog title – I couldn’t think of a better title, as I realised that several parts of my quilt could / would be controversial. When I include religion / religious symbols in my quilting, I am aware that it could cause offence somewhere…this quilt almost sort of did that at our quilting group, where one of our members hates the song with a vengeance (mind you, we also tease her about parsnips, mashed carrot and swede – she can’t stand swede, junket…amongst other things – it makes our group Christmas dinners quite entertaining! She does tease me about my stash…)

Thank you Candy – it was fun making it, if a little nerve wracking, wondering how it would go down with others…I have just about got to the stage where as long as I like it, it is fine. I also get to thinking that it is a process, that whatever happens, however it turns out, it is something that was just waiting to come out, and has something to say – that it is another step on the journey.

Thanks Maggie.

Thanks Lyn

Thank you Jane.

Thank you Sharon. Some of the old tunes are the best

Thank you Rebecca. The song now keeps flicking through my brain – but that is not altogether a bad thing
