Whoa!  I've got a partially made Project Linus quilt in the queue! 

[Pearl]

Whoa!  I've got a partially made Project Linus quilt in the queue!

I can't believe how quick you ladies are.  Partially made?  I can't decide what to do. 

[Lowena]

I inadvertently deleted all my messages.... thus losing my cushion cover recipient ( sorted now and on its way ) and also my Linus colours 

[Ploshkin]

I can't believe how quick you ladies are.

I have to take advantage of sewing time when I can and the horrible weather gave me an opportunity.  Unusually, on this one, an idea came to me straight away so there was no prevarication on my part and the colour choice was made for me which saved many further weeks of prevaricating.

It's winging it's way oop north......

[Ellabella]

I hope it's had all appropriate vaccinations and the correct visas are attached.

Awww, wish I'd taken part in this now.  Maybe next time.

Awww, wish I'd taken part in this now.  Maybe next time.

It's been great fun but it's made a lot of us feel very insecure about our abilities.

I just hope it won't be refused entry @Ellabella  as an undesirable alien 
Reminds me... when our boys were young teenagers, we stayed at Robin Hood's Bay and went to York for the day. They didn't want to walk the walls and went to the football match instead. They were full of it afterwards.... York were playing Doncaster ( both far north to my Essex boys ) and they couldn't get over the home crowd chanting....."Go home you southern bastards " to the Doncaster fans 

[DementedFairy]

I stared hard at the damned thing last night, agonised, and then, well, it's in the post, and I apologise profusely.  REALLY profusely.  Give it to the dog, or charity shop, or burn it, please 

Meanwhile effusive praise and thanks to Ploshkin for this delight, it will be treasured [and I don't deserve it]



I shall now slink off, head hanging so low my chin has carpet burns, and never darken the dark side again

[Lowena]

Lovely cushion Ploshy, don't be hard on yourself @DementedFairy  and don't be a stranger to The Dark Side

[Ploshkin]

Thank you so much to my anonymous cushion gifter - I need to do some investigation to find out who it is.  I have done a forensic examination of the packaging to no avail.  All I deduced is that it is someone who uses Amazon.  It nearly got taken away though - fortunately I heard DH and the postman discussing the fact that they didn't know anyone round here called Ploshkin and I went and rescued it.

Anyway, here it is together with the lovely, added gift of some pieces of fabric.

I absolutely love the design and the colours and it is not something that I would ever have put together myself.  I certainly wouldn't have contemplated using black.  It is such a perfect match for the sofabed & curtains in my sewing room that it will be living in there.  I will be getting a cushion pad next time I venture into the Metrolops. 

I think I've narrowed it down to Ellabella, Pearl or Bogwoppit
