Brilliant!

Brilliant, what a great idea. You’ve set the bar high. Well done. Look forward to the rest .

Love it!

Great song and lovely quilt.

You haven’t half made me laugh Sue! Not sure Bob Dylon in his wildest dreams could every have predicted this . Wonderful!

Excellent play on words!!!! Glad I’ve submitted mine already or I’d have real angst.

Brilliant!

i like your use of intense. i have the pencils and aloe gel, I need to be brave an go for it. very cute take on the song!

I love this, I find it hard to work out the maths, I like to grow it organically and usually end up laying out the blocks to see how they fit. Great idea to use masking tape and have blocks sized templates made up

It was a great weekend Christine. I with you on the ‘sewing in shoes’ – ironing too! See you in 2020!

Food for thought! Even my husband carries a fold up bag now. You make a good point about the desirability, Ruth. It would be a shame if someone’s work were not appreciated, but all we can dois try!

Can’t wait to see you all again in a couple of weeks. Last year was great fun and was so inspiring being able to learn from each other.

Wow John! What a heartfelt message. The blog should be read by the many and not the few! I watched the programme and was amazed at the amount of work put in by you (and other crafters) in such a short space of time. I thought the price of £2,000 was realistic for a quilt as we so underestimate time, effort and cost of materials. How fab that you had a band of ladies helping you out and giving moral support. I say keep up the good work!

Well, what a shocking lot of nasty people you have had to deal with! I missed the show but I did see some of the fall-out on UKQU. Remember, for each nasty comment, there are thousands of raised (but silent) eyebrows; don’t assume the majority agrees with them.

I like your quilts. I can only imagine how much thankless hard work it was. And I do know how filming changes situations and comments.
But, as my mum ( a quilter) always said, “ They are just jealous. And if they are bitching about you, they are leaving someone else alone!” So, at least, you saved someone else from suffering.
Hold your head high and carry on!

I am totally gobsmacked and saddened to read this and l know our group members will be when l tell them. Your visit to us was so refreshing and anyone who has met you will know what a lovely and genuine guy you are. Don’t let it spoil things. There are many lovely people out there who are and will be supportive.
