Where does time disappear to? I last posted on the 9th November and I cannot believe it is now the 15th.
I am getting on with the November BQL Challenge Bag and also sewing away on various Christmas gifts. I had forgotten just how much time one needs to spend on when doing stumpwork embroidery. It is also playing havoc with my neck muscles----anyone know just how to avoid neck strain when bending over an embroidery hoop using a light and magnifying glass?
I subscribe to Alex Anderson and Rikki Timms "The Quilt Show" ( www.thequiltshow.com) and yesterday watched the wonderful section with the amazing Liuxin Newman (aka The Thimble Lady ) showing her skill in hand applique. She really is a very talented lady, her new book "Perfect Hand Applique" must be on my Christmas List!
Off to the local Plant Nursery this morning to get some winter-flowering pansies to brighten up the winter garden.

How is the QU class going? I had to pull out of it and wonder whether or not to try again now I'm on the mend. Is it worth it?
Hi Anne,
I enjoyed the last class, but I think it was one that was more difficult in the distance learning format, it would have been easier if you could watch what the teacher meant us to do in reality.Were you doing the Waves and Waterfalls too?
I have done about four courses now with QU and have learnt a lot.
Go for it !
