[pol]

Thats great news Hilldene - and lovely to hear from you - don't forget to add to the tally here on the forum when you know how many bags you've made fo this challenge.

Enjoy your trip over

Hi Hilldene! Would you like to meet up while you are here? I'm about 40 minutes drive from Falmouth & I think Offcuts will be down, staying in that general direction & coinciding with you for a couple of days. If it's fine we could outdoor-sew somewhere. I'll think about bad weather lurkeries as a contingency.

[Hilldene]

I'd love to meet up Beattie but I can't say exactly when or if I'd have time for any sewing, it depends how quickly I get round my 4 boys and their families.

I was cutting out like mad this afternoon and made 5 but then discovered I've only got 11 labels left and they'd never get here before we leave on Thursday

SO I'LL DEFINITELY BE TAKING 11 BAGS TO ROSS

and perhaps if I make some more I could leave them with you Beattie to put labels on?

The main reason for coming over is to get the campervan MOTd and also to see my youngest son's new workshop, he makes boat covers, so it's in the family, and he's also bought himself a boat to live on.

I'm just going to order the labels Pol so they'll be here when I get back.

Make as many bags as you can Hilldene, I'll label up the nameless ones & send them on for you. You can count them into your tally. I'll PM you my address & phone no. so we can meet up - if only to scoop bags from your vehicle into mine.

I Bag You - that's such a brill idea to circulate the idea amongst the Italian pods. Thanks for doing the translation & getting onto them all. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

[beattie]

Offcuts - the top of the list to thinkcake = 105 podcards sent! I presume you left out the uncontactable ones? Have you done any more today?

[Offcuts]

I don't think I sent 105 Beattie Oh I know - I only posted to the UK people. I haven't done any more. Is anyone else going to email zero pods. It doesn't take long if you copy and paste the message. I can't remember what I wrote now, but I included a link to the challenge thread.
I think I sent about 28 emails.

Chiara, well done for all your work and translations. You are amazing

Any news on the postage refund for this challenge yet?

I will sort through my sewing cupboard this evening as I am sure there are some morsbags in there somewhere I can send......busy making ovengloves, doorstops, keyrings and cakes for the PTA stall at the village Horse Show and Country Fair this coming weekend (apart from working.....)

[Ivybags]

35 bags all sorted out to send to Turtles

[yellowpansy]

I would absolutely love to participate in this challenge; however, my pod is already in another challenge and I can't really abandon them.

Good luck everyone!

[Offcuts]

And good luck to you yellow pansy. Are you doing the American Nolcha Challenge?

[yellowpansy]

Yes we are.
