| 108 | Awww Holly :( I wish I was closer and could come and help you. Maybe your not getting far because you still dont have enough shelves ???? Do you have any planks of wood and bricks that you could make shelving ???? Holly I dont know what to say awww I feel for you what a HUGE job you have there. Maybe shut the door for a day or so then go back afresh. And no I didnt feel my ears burning get more serious next time and I might hehe ;) coalrange1 - 2009-08-05 20:27:00 |

| 114 | WOW Holly :) That looks absooooolutely FANTASTIC oooooh You will be going in just to look at it wow the ROOM has turned into a HAVEN. That is a good bookcase it holds alot. First couple of pics are hard to copy & paste, you have to take "-" off the end of the row and manually put in the numbers (in case someone cant get in ) last pic is fine. Maybe its cause first two went on two lines blahblahblah. Congratulations that was a huge job very well done you must be pleased :) coalrange1 - 2009-08-07 21:54:00 |

| 120 | Fantastic Holly You did so well :) Have you bought any fabric lately ....if not do you have withdrawal symptoms or are you ok ;) So whats this next room your talking about, is it another 'The Room' waiting to be transformed into another 'Haven' or what???? All the best :) coalrange1 - 2009-08-12 20:47:00 |
| 121 | Bump so we dont fall off the end... hmmm 4 days since a post, everyone must be lost in there sewing rooms liz_taylor - 2009-08-16 21:41:00 |
| 122 | Thanks for bumping Liz I have been in my stash cupboard - no not for 4 days hehe. I have folded the fabric like they have it in fabric shops on card, I have it on books (lovely hard cover big ones) anyway the fabric goes on them so well, takes up less space than just folded and can be stored upright or stacked.Looks so much nicer....ok I admit it I dont have a life but Im happy ok lol ;) coalrange1 - 2009-08-17 17:49:00 |

| 124 | You definitely can have too much material and things - I promised my sister that I would clean out all her craft stash - she is now too unwell to tell me much about it all and I am feeling very sad and overwhelmed- I know she collected bits and pieces from all over the world and I am finding little bags of all sorts of beautiful things. I find myself putting it aside - started off listing some things but my pile of "what shall i do with that" is getting higher and higher gerry64 - 2009-08-18 15:29:00 |
| 125 | Gerry BLASPHEMY!! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH!!!! I just took my 3 year old upstairs and we went through my scraps to find pieces for her dolly's quilt liz_taylor - 2009-08-18 18:12:00 |
| 126 | LOL Liz Oh my gosh that is sooooo funny, that was so out of the blue and unexpected haha I laughed out loud - thankyou hehe hmm still laughing love it.....hmm ok dont mind me,im off now saw some nice fabric with buynow on i'll be back later ;) coalrange1 - 2009-08-18 19:28:00 |
| 127 | hey i made someone laugh the day is not totally wasted!!! i'm tempted to go be nosy at fabric shop tomorrow on my afternoon off liz_taylor - 2009-08-18 22:51:00 |
| 128 | Liz The dolls quilt... I have a little 10" square scrappy quilt that my Gran made for my Mums dolls, 70 years ago...just be aware that what you make, even though it seems like just a dolls quilt can become a very much treasured item for future generations. Oh no pressure tho hehe ;) coalrange1 - 2009-08-19 06:17:00 |
| 129 | Hello Gerry 64 I see what you mean by you can have too much, I have done it myself with collections...tis way too easy. Your sister would of had alot of fun collecting it all up tho and yes it would be very sad for you sorting it all :( All the best with your auctions ... hey everybody check out Gerrys auctions some lovely stuff. Do you do any crafts at all Gerry ? coalrange1 - 2009-08-19 16:52:00 |
| 130 | no colrange unfortunately not - I have stalled will get going again tomorrow - have just found another lot of retro fabrics old stretch type and all her ribbons and laces -some of the lace she collected from antique shops - I wish I had taken notice of what she was making and listend to what her plans were for some of these beautiful things I have piled all around me -not going to part with her buttons-thanks for your interest gerry64 - 2009-08-19 23:19:00 |

| 134 | to be honest why the bloody hell would you want too?? the only thing i'd possibly use it for it quilts, but with it being polyester with a "satin" finish... why why why liz_taylor - 2009-08-21 18:46:00 |
| 135 | Gerry 64 If you can sew a little you could make a memory quilt of all your sisters precious things, it would look amazing.It could have all the buttons on it all the little pieces of lace, bits of materials etc etc I made a quilt of my Dads fav old flannelette shirts just 5" squares sewn together with buttons on every corner of the squares (kids sewed them on) but its so special a real keepsake memory. Anyway just a thought. coalrange1 - 2009-08-22 10:33:00 |

| 137 | I'll join you in the cup cake making Liz!..good old fashioned baking..can't beat that. PLUS..would like to see this thread stay friendly and helpful, rather than turn to custard with self promotion and derogatory comments! doug57 - 2009-08-23 10:39:00 |
| 138 | #135 that is an excellent idea! doug57 - 2009-08-23 10:39:00 |
| 139 | Gerry, don't be to quick in selling your sisters craft stash. I have shirts from my now late bro, and it's going to be a memory quilt, it's so precious, maybe there are other family members who would only be to pleased to be gifted some of those supplies. skippie1 - 2009-08-23 11:49:00 |

| 144 | Hi Holly I heard that the very best treatment for recovering after hospital is fabric buying....now I dont know if it works but you could find out for all of us ok ;) you would do that for us aye you would go out of your way to fabric shop with a sore shoulder just so we would know if this was true. Ahhh your such a sweetie Holly hehe. Seriously tho oh not that that wasnt but all the very best for Thursday, alot of us in here will be thinking of you, let us know how your getting on :) coalrange1 - 2009-08-23 21:59:00 |
| 145 | your right not a flipping clue but i'll take the cup cake... Coffee anyone??? Currently working on a outfit for a bus trip this weekend "porcelain doll" picked up an old bed skirt at op shop ($2) for the fabric... sooo happy with it, the flat piece is plain purple poly cotton/cotton, and the skirt ruffles were made from this lovely purple synthetic patterned fabric :D liz_taylor - 2009-08-24 08:07:00 |
| 146 | Coffee mmmmm please Whew what a morning, cat decided to sleep in coalbag beside coalrange....then slept on raggie quilts on sofa, not just one oh no he had quite a night...all washed now no not the cat he was quite clean by this morning hehe so have helped myself to your delicious coffee Liz yum its got quite a unique flavour tis lovely hehe. Ok crockpot on now, cat outside, sewing for the day yay. Hope you all have a great one :) coalrange1 - 2009-08-24 10:50:00 |
| 147 | Thank you all for you good ideas I am not touching anything in what she called her "war chest" - she called it her war chest because she was always at war with it trying to keep the doors closed as she tried to stuff more goodies in it - I promised her that I would take care of all her things - she wanted them to be used as her husband I am sure would not be at all sympathetic to what he calls her piles of junk -there are many many bags not opened - I listed a piece of what she had still in a bag with a lovely yeddy bear pattern -the label says mohair but someone has queried if it is mohair - the receipt for $75 dated 8 years ago is still in the bag for a piece of mohair so I dont know -but one of my neices is going to make button "pictures" for all the neices and nephews so that will be great - you lot have given me a real buzz that people take the trouble to care gerry64 - 2009-08-24 19:22:00 |
| 148 | terrible typing gerry64 - 2009-08-24 19:29:00 |
| 149 | Oh Gerry Hmmmm anyone want the tissues passed to them and no its not cause of your so called 'terrible typing' its what you wrote....you are a lovely lady, every girl needs a sister like you :) coalrange1 - 2009-08-24 19:58:00 |
| 150 | Hello all :) For all you lovely quilting ladies have you seen the site etsy.com scroll down to quilts and click, it has over 700 pages of quilts, click on a quilt and tells you what its made of etc. Jules97 found this great site, she is currently in Ause doing the rounds of quilt shops, being very good and not buying much but getting heaps of ideas. Have great day everyone :) coalrange1 - 2009-08-25 14:28:00 |
