ME AND MY BIG MOUTH

Well it just serves me right doesn't it!
Don't answer that... or do at your peril!!

On the Popular Patchwork Forum, I have started two seperate threads, both are a kind of club. One is a Birthday Club, where I have got the people who signed up to make a card and enclose a gift of fabric for the birthday girl. I was expecting to get about ten sign up......I got 25!!  Whew!!  I was doing alright until the February dates. There are SIX birthdays in February, and I had to send the emails with the info to each of them seperately so they didn't get to see what their gift was to be. Well, wouldn't you know, I sent one in error and one lady saw what she was to receive.  I wasn't having that, I quickly adjusted the charts I had made so she will be getting something now, she knows not what. I have to tell you the lady in January, has received all hers, her birthday was early January. She was thrilled to bits, I shall ask if I can put her picture here as it really does say it all, but meantime, I am showing you the cards and gifts of fabric she got. I asked the others to send her, four squares of fabric 6" square, two green and two cream...multiply that by 24 and that's a lot of fabric.....as you can see here...



and here are the cards...



Just wonderful.
So many different styles,
some of the ladies hadn't made a card before so these are brilliant don't you think.

The other 'club' I am doing, also on the PP Forum is a UFO club.
I get the ladies to send me pictures of their UFO's they have had lurking in their cupboards or under the bed for years and years, you know what I mean!!!
And guess what,
well, hang on,
I did this UFO club last year too,  and between them all they managed to complete
53 UFO's.
I was impressed by that.
BUT
So far there are 73 UFO's on the list this year, so by rights !!!!! we should break that record...
shouldn't we???
Watch this space.
