    Hi girls - hope you are all well and gearing up for the festive season. Just wanted to nudge those of you who have said, in passing, that you want to be involved with the squares, that you will still need to contact either Christine or myself with the details we have asked for. Many Thanks and Happy Christmas and a healthy and stitching-full New Year to you all. Su xx

    It's the sort of thing I would like to be part of. I will get in touch and leave my details. What a brilliant idea.

    Hi girls

    Just letting you know that the deadline has passed and the list is now closed. The instructions have now been sent out to all of you who signed up to work a square. All but three have been sent out by e mail and it would be a big help if you could just let me know you have received them safely.

    Many thanks and happy stitching

    I got mine but am having trouble opening it as I haven't got office installed on this computer and the other one is buried under a pile of boxes in the new spare room!!

    Mine received safely - haven't checked the rest of the 2500 odd mails waiting for me on my return ( did see them on my iPad but now they are all sitting on my main PC and need very active use of the delete button!!).
    Have got an idea in mind, things drifting around in my mind in the early morning hours as I try and persuade my body clock to reset!
    Hope to see some of you on Sunday week. Christine - will mail you, invite still open XXXX

    I always think that one of the downsides of a holiday is having to deal with all the mundane stuff when you get back :o(

    Got the instructions okay. Thank you for all the work that goes on behind the scenes. I have actually started stitching. Found just the right design in the third book I looked through.

    How are we all doing with these?
    Christine / Su, how many squares are you expecting to get?
    I can't wait to see the finished piece all together

    Did you know that the Guild is about to "come of age"?
    On March 16th (I think it's the 16th) we will be 18 - it doesn't seem 2 minutes since Jane was setting up the Guild. I'm sure she will say the same!

    Well mine is finished except the folded hem. That will have to wait until we come back from Tenerife, going for a weeks break and hopefully some sun.

    I agree about the Guild Helen I think we have discussed this before and the fact that we are both founder members our numbers being very close.

    Perhaps we could have a drink to celebrate at Swindon if you are going.

    Helen, we've had over 60 people registering an interest in the squares - you were one of the first to send in your completed work.

    Not that it's a competition. Or a race!

    Mine is finished and sitting on the box next to me waiting to be packaged and posted. Had so many babysitting trips and a few days away with DH for my birthday that I simply have not gotten round to it. Now, I wonder, if I am allowed to send it off after I get back from visiting my Mum. To show her the actual piece is so much nicer than showing her a picture on my laptop. It could go in the post on 24th March, so would be well in time for the closing date.
    I very nearly sent it off without doing the hem. The air was blue and multilingual swear words were flying about. The fabric was so lovely to stitch on, but when I trimmed the excess at the corners the threads just fanned out and it all seemed to disintegrate. What a pain. Nearly resorted to sticking it all down with UHU.
