I am parked up outside Walcote village hall, my venue for tonight. I have just shut all thne vents in anticipation of the quilters arriving and the rain took that as a cue. I'm impressed the weather is so well behaved here. I've made good use of my time and the quilt is now growing well. I love this phase of a project. It seems that each little piece clearly moves the quilt on. I have come to the conclusion the van table is too low for cutting on. I can do some but my back protests pretty quickly. I think I will invest in a smaller mat that I can put on the counter which is higher but narrower. It won't do for everything but if I use it when I can I can save my back for when I need the bigger space.
I should probably get this sent. I would think the quilters will arive any minute. I'll share one last thing that has been amusing me today. When the van is parked I sit and listen to Radio 4 on my little solar radio while sewing. When I drive it's back to loud heavy metal music ;) I can't help wondering how confused people are when they see/hear this transision.

No, we are one. I listen to Radio 4 when I want to be talked to (or have a rant!) and the brain is oft working elsewhere. To chill or blast MY music comes on. I don't need some waffling eejit forcing their choice of music on me. Glad the camper is still working good.
Have you tried this trick to jack up the cutting mat - a thick chopping board under the mat? I use one that's about 1in thick at shows and for demos to get around tables being too low ('cos worksurfaces are to high for me). Easy to find a chopping board big enough for an A3 mat.
