I think I am too late for the party but I would like to buy a quilt from you and I will pay the postage to Australia.
They are beautiful works of art.
I will pay your asking price.

I've been coming back to this thread to see if all the quilts are gone too. Some of them were beautiful.

So, @Deafoldbat , if you still have any and you're willing to part with them could you get in touch, please?

I'd say the same also goes for any other quilters looking to get rid of anything and, I hope it goes without saying, but I'll happily pay up for them.

:)

Three months ago, someone reserved two quilts. Since then I have had no contact with her, despite PMs, personal emails and text message asking her to get in touch. She hasn't been on the forum since 16 June.

I am now cancelling her reservations. These quilts are now available again

Given the (flattering) previous level of interest in these quilts and to spread any disappointment evenly, there will be a draw for these quilts. The 'winners' must refund postage costs and make a donation to charity.
 
If you are interested, please PM me before midnight on 24 September. If you have a preference for one over the other please say so. Our overseas members are welcome to join in but should bear in mind the probably very expensive postage costs they would incur should their name come up.

The 'winners' will be notified on 30 September.

Any questions - please ask.

@wrenkins

Thanks for the heads-up. That second one is the one I really wanted too.

I can't be arsed with draws and the like. I've never been into anything like that. Always makes me feel like a dog on an obedience course with the promise of a treat at the end. So, one less person to spread the disappointment around with.

Best of luck to everyone who enters, though; those are some quality quilts.

@Deafoldbat Beautiful work on the quilts. Someone is going to be very pleased.

:)

@TartanPaint I would agree with you about a draw, but I'm trying to be fair to the people who missed out earlier because they weren't poised to pounce the moment the post went up.  I wasn't expecting the reaction I got - I thought maybe a few would go eventually - but they were in like Flynn... (and are again!)

Well, for what it's worth, that blue and white one is exquisite. I'd buy it off you in a second but I also appreciate your willingness to ensure fairness. Someone is going to get away with a prize that's for sure.

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in the two remaining quilts.

The 'winners' have now been notified; if you haven't heard from me I'm afraid you were out of luck this time. However, as I now have an (almost) empty cupboard I can start to fill it up again (though this may take some time) so in due course I may have more quilts to rehome...

I'm one of the lucky winners  :dance: I will definitely take a picture of 'Long May She Wave' in its new home. I'm pretty sure the colours will go beautifully in our lounge or bedroom so we'll see where it wants to live!  :thumbsup:  :D

Almost finished! I'm hand sewing the binding down and am about 2/3 of the way round  :D
