Busman’s Holiday, that’s the term, isn’t it? This July I had a week off, relaxing in the sun, a little vino and time with the family. Then I realised that Jen Jones has announced that she is retiring and is holding…

It would be great if parents, aunts, uncles, or grandparents would give a gift of Young Quilter Membership to their children, relations or grandchildren. The cost is £5.00 for a year’s membership – they receive a goodie bag on joining together with regular newsletters and updates on regional activities as well as participation at regional YQ events.

This is a great deal and never realised that the Guild did this. Unfortunately I don’t have grandchildren yet or young relatives that I could encourage.

Good piece of advice! My hubby works in H&S and I do try and position myself ‘properly’ before sewing but it’s so easy to get hunched up, especially with FMQ. But I find it goes better if you ‘shake it out’ and relax!

Great blog … It’s not just about travel though, can also be when you are in hospital yourself or visiting someone who is there for a while …. I am cutting out material to go with a couple of unusual fabric box kits that have card frames as my sewing recovery therapy while I am in hospital
