final day of a holiday in madeira. Have had some nice sun so we are not looking forward to coming home to possible snow tomorrow. I have had a nice reply from the U.S. Quilts4Kids site where I sent a Hungry Caterpillar quilt to the Moody Branch. Good to know that a poorly child will have a quilt to hug.
Must get my cousin to update my website!

Linus quilts etc
Have just come home from our Icknield quilters meeting where we donated about 30 quilts to the Linus Quilt project. The lady from Linus was thrilled.
Quite serendipitously I came across just now the Quilts for Kids site which is American and on their site there is a subgroup called Moody quilts for Kids. I have contacted them as my new name (Moody) might intrigue them and I am sure I can donate a couple of kids quilts to them

London quilters exhibition
Have just returned from London where I saw this exhibition on its penultimate day. Still open tomorrow at the Swiss cottage library in North London.
Nice room for display both inside the room and in the corridor outside and a particularly poignant display of World War I memories quilts. I have to get permission for publishing any of the photos that I took. Marlene Cohen 's quilts as usual were particularly interesting.
Happy new year to all

Raffle
we have made £1250 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association after raffling our art nouveau quilt. We are thrilled that it made so much and it was particularly poignant that it went to the wife of a local man suffering with MND. Thank you to everyone who supported us.

Art nouveau quilt
Back from USA where I bought far too much fabric. Have now sold well over £500 worth of tickets for the raffle.
On a workshop with jan Hassard I learnt one good tip - do not mix sewing machines when completing a quilt especially when doing strips that are cut and sewn together again! They do not come square unless you really test the seam widths first.

Shopping USA style
I am in South Carolina but sadly coming home tomorrow. I have visited at least 4shops along the way and have bought too much. When the price per heard is only 5 dollars, what can one do? So I shall have loads of UFOs to complete for next year. The nice thing is that one gets ideas for teaching - so watch out!

Belsey Bridge visit
My last day here at a UFO holiday ( unfinished objects). Except I started something new - a Jacob' s Ladder pattern in rather bright colours for me! We need a bigger quilt so this will be it I think. A present to us for our wedding last Monday. A fabulous day made memorable by our friends there. I shall upload a picture when're turn.
