Around Gower on a quilt

As I said, we have several quilting groups that meet at Linden. Swansea Quilters recently won first prize in a national competition, for a group entry, which is now hanging on the wall inside the church building. It's a collection of individual quilted 'postcards' from Swansea and Gower, so come, take a tour of our beautiufl area.

The Great Pin War

A war is being waged on Linden church property. A war in which the weapons are the sharpest known to man: needles and the tongue.

On Monday and Thursday we have patchwork classes in the building; on Wednesday and Friday we have quilting. (No, don't ask me: I thought they were the same thing too.)

Now the quilters are complaining that the patchworkers leave needles and pins on the floor. I ignored their complaints the first three times but, because we also find pins in circuits and getting a pin in your elbow when you're already in agony doing the plank isn't nice, I finally wrote to the patchwork teacher asking her to make sure she clears up afterwards.

She responded by accusing the quilters of leaving pins on the floor too. She proved this by collecting them up and leaving them on my desk with a curt little note. Quilters are now going out of their way not to be helpful to the art class that is also run by the patchwork teacher.

I am sitting back and laughing. Though why I don't know; I suspect it will all land on my desk in the end.
