    Thanks all for the numbers
    Maybe lots of little cakes then to go with the afternoon tea?

    Your birthday, m'dear - your call. I don't suppose you'll be having to take any home, regardless of what you bring!

    3 sleeps......

    It was an ace weekend as ever! Thank you everyone for your company and friendship!
    I eventually got home just after eight after being held up just outside Aberdeen - so close to home but so far away!! Hope to see you all again next year!

    Has anyone who opted for the band fabric for the sampler finished yet?
    Looks like mine will have to be personalised as I think I'm going to run out of fabric before I get to the bottom of it :(

    Hi Helen! Yes I finished mine this week and posted a picture on Facebook. I did mine on the linen supplied in the kit and had enough to complete. Can't understand why you are short as I assumed it would be the same length of fabric?? A bit annoying but easy enough to 'chop' a bit off the pattern. xx

    I've finished mine and had enough fabric, altho' I did go "off piste" somewhat towards the end (so what's new?)

    However, like Rita I used the linen as supplied rather than the band.

    Sorry not to reply sooner. We went away with the new bike.

    I've definitely come up short - the band fabric could have done to be about 6" longer, but never mind I just left out the bits I didn't want to do & no one else will know any different

    Rita do you ever come south for any of the shows or just for the CSG weekend?

    That's a shame you are short Helen but as you rightly say no one will know any different! Like Christine (she led me astray your honour!!) I went off a bit from the chart in places and used different thread in places too! It's good fun this pleasing yourself I'm getting more comfortable with it the more I do it!!
    As to the shows I have never ever been to one! I usually try to go to the June CSG weekend if work commitments allow. That four letter word 'work' is the reason as I can't get time off in term and the shows are always in term time! Together with the distance and travel costs makes it impossible for me. However, I will not be working forever! There must be advantages in aging and I think attending shows and more CSG weekends must be some!!
