RCTQ meeting

I've just had a most enjoyable day with Pat (without her hill) and Jo (not in Malvern today). They arrived in Bath this morning on the same train and we had no problem 'recognising' each other! We started off with a cuppa and a long chat, I then did the 'Megwen conducted tour'............the one we did Bronwen, up to the Circus and along to Royal Crescent, were your ears burning?!!

We then found one fabric shop where Pat and Jo bought some fat quarters and then to another coffee shop for another natter! We finished up in the LQS where Pat found some finger protectors and Jo got some more fabric!

It was then time for the trains back to 'the hill' and Malvern.

Who is next for the tour of Bath?!!

Megwen

Bath, England

I'm posting through my google account as my megwen at onetel dot net account won't send messages to RCTQ!

How nice! The world gets smaller and smaller as we all meet up and link our chain of friendship. Wish I had been there.

What a lovely day it sounds, Megwen! I've been to your beautiful city several times, back when I was escorting students to Europe and didn't know any online quilters.

Yes - it was a really great day! Thanks Megwen - it was lovely to meet you. Jo and I met at Malvern last year, so we weren't quite strangers; but yesterday was a super 'getting to know you' opportunity. We found we had such a lot in common even apart from P&Q. Bath is so beautiful, and is featured in lots of films! I was so glad to have the opportunity of seeing it under the guidance of a long-time resident. I hope Jo was as lucky with her trains home as I was, despite the crowding. I had done some hand piecing the week before, with tiny little, very sharp needles! I remembered my first P&Q teacher had shown us some little plastic 'things' that slipped over the underneath finger. When I saw them on the 'notions' wall in the second shop, I bought a couple. My left index finger is grateful!

A good day. I forgot to tell Jo where I will be today - Malvern!! It is the turn of our Malvern member (miniatures group) to host our meeting day. . In message , Megwen writes

I MUST get out a map and see where all these lovely places are in relation to one another. My UK geography is pretty much non-existant.

Let me know when and we can meet up. I'll have to check on the time team trenches, I thought that they had worked on a site where a CHurchwas destroyed during the Blitz which is behind the Crescent.

Hey, you never know, it could be me! We're coming to England in December/January. Not sure exactly where we're spending time yet, but we will have six weeks. Maybe we'll be able to come share a Bath with you! :-)

I saw this episode some time this winter, and it is true, they did dig in the lawn in a crescent. But then I'm sure there are many places in Bath that they would like to dig :-)

I would also recommend The American Museum in Britain - it is just outside Bath, reachable by public transport. They have lots of quilts :-) I went there with my Mum for 4th of July one year. There was re- enactors out on the lawns too.
