| 951 | NOOOOOO dont do it Twilight haha what would you do all day with no stash haha you'd have to spend the money you made on more fabric hahaha lol coalrange1 - 2009-10-30 21:27:00 |
| 952 | no i dont think i could, i know this sounds silly but theres to many memories, some times i look at my fabric and think oh i bought that at so and so or at the craft fair, nuts aye, twilight23 - 2009-10-30 22:07:00 |
| 953 | Thats not nuts at all it shows you luv what your doing, would be a bit hard to use some of the fabrics tho they would have to be used in a special quilt. http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/59/109679159_full.jp http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/9/109679209_full.jpg Sweetdreams all :) Edited by coalrange1 at 11:01 pm, Fri 30 Oct coalrange1 - 2009-10-30 22:52:00 |

| 962 | Noooooo. I was laying in bed this morning (worked nightshift) and heard what I thought was the postie coming up the drive. Thought Yahoo its arrived. But no, was only a mate of my husbands dropping off pigfood. Oh well, hopefully Monday. Means I may have to wait til next weekend to try it out though as I'm working 4 nights this week. Don't want to attempt cutting etc when I'm half asleep. Have to stop looking at auctions otherwise I'll buy more fabric before I've even started. juju40 - 2009-10-31 18:33:00 |
| 963 | oh thats a pity juju that you stuff didnt arrive, yes be carefull that you dont get addicted to the fabric auctions, like some of us lol twilight23 - 2009-10-31 19:50:00 |

Out of all the things i have collected ...ohhhh theres lots, collecting up fabric and then being able to make something for someone is the most fun. coalrange1 - 2009-10-31 20:00:00 |

Old furniture and surely theres more but cant think right now. Oh and my most treasured antique is my old hubby hehe :) coalrange1 - 2009-10-31 20:26:00 |
| 967 | wow coalrange wat wonderful collections you have specially the last one lol, were do you keep all these lovely things, iv seen some beautiful sculptures made from shells, drill holes in the shell, put throu this very thick wire, then set in a concrete stand, and then you can bend them into shapes, you can have 3 or 4 wires set in the concrete twilight23 - 2009-10-31 20:43:00 |

| 974 | Question - polished cotton isnt any good for quilts aye is that right, its shiny and doesnt loose its shine ????? coalrange1 - 2009-11-01 11:45:00 |
| 975 | hi im at my parents for lunch today, sat outside an snipped all my bags, the day is beautiful here, they live by the lake. then looking after grandy from 3 to 5 at there place, i think that the polish comes of when you wash the fabric not 100% sure ok, im not doing any housework either lol,bye for now will come back later twilight23 - 2009-11-01 13:47:00 |
| 976 | Thanks Twilight, have got some fabric so will wash it and see, then we will know for sure. coalrange1 - 2009-11-01 16:09:00 |
| 977 | Fabric washed, didnt make the slightest difference, but then again maybe its not polished cotton hahaha LOL coalrange1 - 2009-11-01 17:12:00 |
