And as for the kukluxkonvoy (I love that), I can't decide whether I'm more irritated at them or the Konservatives (and really glad I'm not the only one), but feel so sorry for those that live nearby in Ottawa. Think they should have all been arrested for disturbing the peace, and sent to . . . oh, 'h e double hockey sticks' how bout Guantanamo Bay. As for figure skating, I seem to have missed it, along with the Biathalons - love the shooting with cross country, the Olympics seem to have come and gone when I blinked - so bummed I missed most of it. As for postcards, I haven't had a chance there either, one of these days I'm going to sneak off and make some me time. Thanks for the post Sandra, even if it was time stamped 4:00 a.m. - get some sleep, and take care!Orla Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323518787817559498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-71759638308255517752022-02-23T11:40:36.734-05:002022-02-23T11:40:36.734-05:00That is a wonderful quilt for PQ!

I always use loads of quilting clips. Not tried HRT's something else to add to my ever expanding list. Love the two place mats, not doing the RSC this year either. However progress is being made with my Postcard from Sweden, although I've made a mistake, it really doesn't need to be changed but.... I know I'm going to end up changing it so I may as well just get on and do it!Michelle in Scotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196205874203372636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-14064069648387726482022-02-22T15:27:48.011-05:002022-02-22T15:27:48.011-05:00Lovely Sandra & while you were talking about y...Lovely Sandra & while you were talking about your colour choices, I thought you'd done something in similar colours I'd seen lately & yep, I was right. A loose meander definitely makes the quilt cuddlier. Figure skating seems to be something I missed, being on at times that were either too late or they just didn't show on our local channel, but I did see the bit before the closing ceremony & so enjoyed. It brings back the days of my youth, skating my teenage years away & being in the chorus line of two shows held at the ice rink where I went for years. My last little skating adventure was in 2018 with my granddaughter & my boots don't fit me anymore, as my feet have changed so much, but I hired a pair (for free)after one of the attendees noticed my dilemma & I had so much fun, even though a couple of people commented on doing well for my age....ha, ha. Sorry about the silliness of above.

I often meander fairly tightly and then it takes forever. Of course, I need to actually finish a donation quilt or two soon. You sure do like to cut those PQ deadlines close.

Those deadlines certainly do seem to bring out the best in you. I hadn't checked out the PQ challenges this year. I think I forgot about them. And those placemats are so scrumptious. I can see you sitting on the deck with those on the table in different colors this spring summer.

That is a really pretty design, and I love those beautiful batiks. Makes me think I should purchase more batiks for my stash.

Nice to read that I'm not the only one with an oopsie or two in project quilting challenge.
