    We're about 40 minutes from Salisbury! :-D I love Stonehenge, in fact, I used to work for a PR agency and they were one of our clients for a while! :-D :-D :-D We had one press story about a UFO in the stones, which turned out to be an escaped budgerigar that was then reunited with it's owner, a sweet lady who lived on the outskirts of town. The bird had travelled at least a couple of miles! :shock: :D

    Regarding the wallhanging, I just recently finished one of Scorhill Circle on Dartmoor which is much less known and visited but I think just as beautiful and in a much wilder location. I don't know if you saw it, here's a link, might give you a push with your Stonehenge one. :-D http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-75461-1.htm

    Hello and welcome! Not far at all as the crow flies - if I went up to Minehead, I could wave to you over the Bristol Channel! :-D

    Hi I have had a rare whole day sewing today made a christmas table runner for my sister in law. Well it`s not quite finished yet but wont be long. I don`t very often like what I make because all I see are the mistakes but I am fairly new to all this. Thanks for replying colette

    We are all very critical of our own work, we all look for the "mistakes" we have made, thats the point of it being "handmade" and not by a machine, the main thing that it was made with love and when you make things for another person it is the "time" you have put into it, your precious time, no one can buy time.

    We have all been to craft shows where we see those embroidery machines working away with no one operating them as they are programmed by a microchip, the results are always perfect, we are not programmed by "chips" therefore the mistakes we make are all part of us. Having something that is handmade especially for you IS special, flaws and all.

    Have a lovely Christmas everyone keep on Quilting in 2011 with passion.

    Regards
    Aussie Carol
