hay liz did the devil make you write this
a wine coloured *satan* robe lol

twilight23 - 2009-11-10 13:50:00

I just thought of something i know why Twilight can make so many quilts and bags so fast....her sewing machines got a 'Holden' motor hahaha ........no ford people in here lately hehe

Lots fun with chockie boy he comes out with some funny words :)

LOL the satan robe hehe
Twilight did you try to loose that weight - thats impressive :)

coalrange1 - 2009-11-10 14:31:00

Woohoo Michael Jackson, I had posters of him on my walls when i was a kid hehe lol. No one has talent like that guy...

coalrange1 - 2009-11-10 14:39:00

yes you guessed holden motor yay, no the weight kinda just fell off over the last year. i feel much better for it, my docter said it would help my blood pressure and walking the dog twice a day also helps ,
yeh michael jackson rules, i think he was bigger than elvis
my son and grandie must of been here while i was away iv just noticed hes been writing on my puter screen with pen and i cant get it off naughty fiddle bum!!!!!!!!

Edited by twilight23 at 3:02 pm, Tue 10 Nov

twilight23 - 2009-11-10 14:58:00

twilight23 - 2009-11-10 15:12:00

liz_taylor - 2009-11-10 16:25:00

Thats a shame Liz, do you play poker on puter ????

Twilight no not batik, green one has tiny brown branches on - its a backing cotton, you know the ones that are about 2m wide. The other one is a cream sheet with leaves on.

Yummmmmm having stir fried butter chicken veges and rice - nearly cooked

Edited by coalrange1 at 6:02 pm, Tue 10 Nov

coalrange1 - 2009-11-10 18:00:00

Duh me...green fabric has tiny cream branches on not brown hmmmm cuppa tea time i think hehe should help .....

coalrange1 - 2009-11-10 19:12:00

Liz, Twilight hope your both still eating cake....we are not getting much help today are we, dont know where everyone is ????
Gosh Twilight you must of pulled an alnighter to bake that up :)

Ok so whats everyones fav colour or colours ????

coalrange1 - 2009-11-10 19:53:00

yes all niter to bake lol just had another piece yummy
my favarite colour would be very bright first, then batik tye dye fabric, then pastels

twilight23 - 2009-11-10 20:00:00

Mmmmm nice colours, mine are burgundy and bush green, have lounge,dining room, kitchen - all one room - pohutukawa red colour walls and bush green sloped ceilings between the beams. Oh and my bedroom is bush green (its quite a dark green) walls and ceilings except for the little nook sewing bit which is purple.

I have just finished hand sewing the applique celtic bits that came undone on daughters christmas quilt - didnt enjoy the handsewing one bit...and i was going to hand quilt stars all over the black edge of the angel quilt, so glad i never even started it hehe lol
Will have another piece cake now too thanku, i think that this huge cake is going to last quite awhile hehe

coalrange1 - 2009-11-10 20:18:00

well that went wrong thats my fav fabric colours, if i owned my own home it would be pale lemon walls throu the kitchen lounge dining, then i can hang my wall quilts up lol, bedroom i would like minty colour because i like oi have all my family fotos on the walls and more quilts. but the house i live in has natural wood timber which i like too
hand sewing is a bit of a pain aye .

twilight23 - 2009-11-10 20:54:00

My fav fabric colours are the same colours, darkish - dullish all over floral or pattern....hehe i have discovered this after doing a few bright ones ...
I read in the spotlight thread that if your a pensioner with a goldcard you can get 15% off at spotlight - Twilight we should be taking our mums shopping, we could give them the money to pay hehehe
Now am going to spread out the 9 patch again, got to get it finished...

coalrange1 - 2009-11-10 21:07:00

Im going to stay upstairs now till ive sorted quilt out...
Goodnite Twilight sweetdreams
Liz hope you had a lovely day, Sweetdreams all.

coalrange1 - 2009-11-10 21:26:00

is tha goldcard visa? my mum bought me a bag pattern at spotlight today!!!! nite all

twilight23 - 2009-11-10 21:41:00

Morning all :)
Twilight it doesnt have money on it, its sent out to all the pensioners and entitles them to discounts at some shops, free bus fares between 9am - 3pm (or something like that) and free tea or coffee at mcdonalds etc. but amongst the shop discounts it must have spotlight for the other lady to be able to use it....but would be worth taking a pensioner shopping with u.

Got quilt sorted, sewing it together today, dont really like 1/2 finished things around hehe

Have great day all....

coalrange1 - 2009-11-11 07:53:00

Had a great day thanks. Dad got me a HUGE new cutting mat... so big i can't actually find anywhere to store it flat

liz_taylor - 2009-11-11 09:05:00

Thats fantastic Liz, hehe there goes the dining room table - or does it not fit there either?

coalrange1 - 2009-11-11 09:22:00

hi everyone, i will ask my mum about the goldcard, yes im the same dont like half finished things either,
i leave my cutting mat on the table all the time and when we eat i just put the table cloth over the top, lol, grandies here from 3 to 5 today d.i.law has picked up xtra shift, its so quiet here for now, will get lots of sewing done, overcast and dull here today,chill in the air,

twilight23 - 2009-11-11 09:54:00

coalrange you mentioned in a post if my sister would mind if i sold some fabric well iv decieded to make a quilt with the autumn colours, and i liked the idea of the one you made from light to dark colours i had an other look at it i think it would really nice, there will be someone out there that will like it, lol so im going to wash it now!!! lol

twilight23 - 2009-11-11 10:17:00

just had to declutter my sewing table dosnt take long to get that way again lol and having my coffee fix for the day

twilight23 - 2009-11-11 10:51:00

Message from Cindydog : she says 'hi' to you girls and hopes you are ok and sewing lots. She is busy packing so dares not turn computer on hehe

coalrange1 - 2009-11-11 12:32:00

Gidday Twilight, yes quilt sounds nice - great idea :)
Ive been grocery shopping, then went to op shop and got big pile mens silk ties - gorgeous colours - will make quilt but will finish 9 patch first.
Then just got in van to come home and old primary school friend tapped on my window - cmon we are going for coffee - that was nice - we caught up on grandys hehe she has 10 .
Going to finish 9 patch now....

coalrange1 - 2009-11-11 12:38:00

gosh had you not seen her since then, thats a good idea with the ties, silly qustion do you have to cut them open or just cut a square out of the diggest part? whew 10 grandies
ah did you over her ah raggie quilt lessons lol hehe
there is 2 beautiful fat tuis in my tree

Edited by twilight23 at 1:10 pm, Wed 11 Nov

twilight23 - 2009-11-11 13:07:00

I have seen her since then but we just never had time to catch up so that was nice.
Just googled ties and they open themup and cut them !!!! Cindydog told me i could just sew them together - wide end to narrow to wide so you end up square - and then you dont need a backing either and still has the posh labels on them hehe i think maybe that would be alot easier. Daughter been making a skirt out of ties and she just sewed them together.
Tuis make alot of noise aye - lovely tho, they often land in the HUGE pohutukawa we have ooooh if you go to google street views and go 2 numbers below ours and look back you can just see our house and the tree...if you look at our number you can only see the granny flat in front of us.
Ok back to sewing :)

coalrange1 - 2009-11-11 13:23:00

LOL Twilight i didnt even mention quilts hehehe hmmm slipping arent i ;)

coalrange1 - 2009-11-11 13:47:00

twilight23 - 2009-11-11 14:30:00

forgot to ask did cindydog get her house?

twilight23 - 2009-11-11 14:31:00

Yes she got it, school bus stops at gate, 10 minutes drive from her sisters and she said landlords lovely he showed them the house then the school and then took them to his house for a cuppa.
So she has garage sale this sat, then moves on 23rd....whew tis happening fast but things usually do when things fall in place aye.

Strange doing this quilt all backwards to a raggie hehe keep going to put things the wrong way oooops

Google maps and streets is fun though, a few years ago girls and i went around streets in new delhi india where a friend was living, we have been around london and saw big ben, we went to disneyland and to the eiffle tower haha funniest thing is on the streets in london you can see the people in the buses looking at you and other places beside the roads will be dry then suddenly covered in snow lol

coalrange1 - 2009-11-11 14:46:00

yes thats the way to go no time to stop and think, thats good she has a good landlord, how many children does she still have at home,
never thought of google over seas must try it lol
