St Margarets Community Website Forum…

I embroider and knit a bit but recently, feeling in need of a change, I decided to try my hand at patchwork and quilting. It has proved to be a very interesting and rewarding hobby. It is also obvious that when it comes to quilting, it is a pastime which is very much suited to being a group activity. (Many hands make light work etc).

You do not have to make bed quilts you can make small objects too - with lots of learn. Some people still like geometric patterns while modern quilts are often "fabric art" and used more as wall hangings. There is a lot of scope.

So I was wondering if anyone was interested in forming a St Margarets quilting bee locally? The idea would be to get together at regular intervals to work on our projects. I am not an experienced quilter so if there is someone out there who is who could advise us, so much the better. (We are well placed locally as there are shops in Kew and East Molesey where you can buy quilting supplies or of course online.)

All ages and both sexes welcome. Hand or machine stitchers. If you are interested please respond and I will see about getting something up and running.

Hello,

Our white Bengal cat went missing this week.

We live on Kenley Rd and she is very much missed.

She has thick white fur with dark grey marble markings and a distinctive squeaky miaow. She is shy and will be scared to be lost.

Please call 07966620652 if you think you have found her.

Or tell a local vet in st Margaret's as they know about her too.

Her name is Bula and we are desperate to find her.

Thank you, daisy.

Apologies if this has already been covered. The Parking bays outside 81-89 St Margarets road (opposite the Barons) have been suspended from 18 August -31 December 2012. This is a lot of bays to remove for a very long period from an area with insufficient parking (and not helped by other local works going on.)

The Council sign says Road Works but there have been none and none are planned just there (looking it up on TfL and Thames Water). So I phoned the Parking team and was told it was done on an order from "the Civic Centre". If I want an explanation I have to write in to "The Civic Centre". If the parking team do not know why they have issued the order, who does?

Council policy generally is that bays cannot be suspended for more than 15 days. This is 4.5months. Anyone know what is going on?

We have a son who is very, very interested in Pokemon... but all the leagues are pretty far away. Are there any interested people out in Richmond Borough? Perhaps we could set up a casual, regular game?

If so, please email: pokemon@stmgrts.org.uk

Hello,

Does anyone know what time the Olympic Torch will be going up the river past marble hill on friday morning?

Thanks

Hi there - my name is Joanna and I live above the Carpet Shop. Our black and white male cat Coco has gone missing. He is a house cat, but is allowed out onto our roof - but has not been seen since Thursday 24th May at about 6am, so we think he may have fallen down and got stuck, or not figured how to get back up to us, as we have no cat flap on the ground floor. If you could keep your eyes peeled, that would be great. We will give a reward to anyone who helps us find him! My number is 07801982908 and Richards number is 07958354681. Thanks so much.

I hope i am posting my hello in the right place to everyone one... just want to say I am looking forward to exploring this wonderful site...
