Help @Iminei ... I have sent you a pm too. I have misplaced the name and address of whom I am sending the cushion cover to  :|
My excuse is that I am greatly suffering with a bad back ( appt, tomorrow ) and am in such pain and under the influence of double doses of co-codamol that I don't know whether I'm coming or going  :|
I think it's someone "oop north" but that's a bit vague for even Royal Mail, so please bear with me folks.
I've deleted all my old messages so have no real idea of the address, although I think it's someone I know in ****** -<

@Kenora .......... I've aged ten years doing this!!! Loved it.  <3

I've loved it too - but, like you, feel I've aged enormously during the process. :S :)

How did you do that crossy over business?!?!?!  :S

It's a foundation paper pieced pattern called Charleston Quilt. I picked it because I love the way it deceives the eye into thinking the square ribbon is continuous.  :)

@Lowena - as someone who suffers daily with back problems, I completely sympathise with yours. Hopefully you'll be in a lot less pain once you've attended your appointment tomorrow. <3

Lovely cushion covers, well done ladies give yourselves a pat on the back. I certainly wouldn't have had the time to produce something like these so I'm glad I didn't take part.

@Cheesecake - the cushion cover you sent Lowena is beautiful, and to produce that lovely design twice for the front and the back is awesome in the time. Love it. <3

Yes. It's gone a bit quiet hasn't it?

I think there were a few people saying they would be posting their cushions out this weekend-ish.

Still awaiting mine. This week I've been looking out for the postman  :ninja: to see if he has a squidgy looking package as he approaches the front door.

I had a package come earlier this week which looked and felt right, but it was four hanging basket liners.  0_0
