    You know it's not long 'til the Leeds weekend when you get the letter saying Bill's going to take the balance...

    I'm not staying for the weekend at Leeds 'cos I'm going to Norway at some unearthly hour on the Sunday.
    When Jane is over the jet lag I need to see how much Saturday I can spend with you (Mick says he'll sort all the last minute things at home.

    I am sorry too that you won't be there Janet. Hopefully we can meet up next year as I can't make Leicester!

    Hello Rita - I too cannot make it to Leeds, but seeing these messages brings to mind that we did meet up there last year. At that time you were looking at the Antique Flowers kit and we had a discussion concerning the hemstitch square in the middle of it. You said you'd like to do it but wondered about the square and I suggested you put to one side the project we were given for that weekend (think it was the Ackworth sampler because it was straight cross stitch) and start the Antique flowers because Jane was there and would no doubt be her usual helpful self; and you could always do the Ackworth project at your leisure.

    Now, after all that waffle - did you do it? If you did, I have no doubt that you are chuffed with it.

    Have a lovely time at Leeds this year anyway - I shall be thinking of you all.

    I'm really looking forward to it as well, although I haven't got my letter yet (although Itch to Stitch arrived today which was almost as good!) I can't say I am looking forward to the drive - baby is sitting so high at the moment that it makes it a bit difficult to breathe when I don't sit reclined, but I am sure I'll manage. I can't wait to have a weekend of stitching without writing dissertations/running around after toddlers...

    Nancy - If I were you, I'd contact Jane about the non-arrival of your letter, as mine arrived a few days ago and I'm sure they would all have been sent out at the same time.

    Looking forward to meeting up again!

    Sorry you won't be there Brenda will miss you!! Yes I did do the hem stitch square and finished the square completely when I got home! It was very good advice you gave me! I have to confess I haven't done the cross stitch as yet but I will!!

    I am really fed up about missing the Leeds one yet again. Would have gone to Germany on 8th for a week for my Mum's birthday, but got the news just before I was going to book the ferry that younger stepdaughter's wedding is on 7th near Truro. So now going to Germany on 22nd. Somehow driving to Leeds two days after schlepping back from Cornwall does not appeal.

    I'm definitely joining you all on Saturday - paid for it today

    It was lucky I phoned Jane this morning to ask about my letter as it appeared for some reason I hadn't been on the list to go. Fortunately it is all sorted out now - phew! So I just need to get my two end of semester assignments in and then it is stitching time woo hoo!
