1150 length 520 width

could be ok if i just put a wide border around it - what you think ????

coalrange1 - 2009-12-01 12:23:00

wow coalrange that is so cool i really like it, yes a border would be good, make a border with all the different fabrics in the quilt, not sqaures but long strips, width of border x 30 cm long

Confession time :
Soooo last nite daughter was on puter - me sewing, after a while i asked her to minimize what she was doing so i could check '2 much fabric' when i read Twilight and Jules messages i laughed out loud and said 'they're crazy' oooops didnt realise hubby heard me - he said "s'cuse me but they didnt make a quilt out of 1" squares wink wink " haha point taken lol you lovely ladies are NOT crazy hehe tis me that is...my apologies hehe

coalrange1 - 2009-12-01 13:23:00
1761

hay coalrange you dont have to apologes, we all a bit crazy here dont you think, anyway it would be very boring world if we were all the same, lol, so once you have finished your quilt, put it somewhere that you see it every day lol hehe

coalrange1 - 2009-12-01 18:52:00
1768

docs are closed for the night, if i could find someone to dive me i could do a & e. cant afford afterhours

liz_taylor - 2009-12-01 18:54:00

Hubby not home then ?? could you ring him ? What about your neighbours ? Ring ambulance and ask them to help you.
Ambulance people are great, last wedding my mum went to she collapsed, ambulance brought her home and the other ambulance guy drove her car home for her...give them a ring and see what they say.

Hi Tabby, yes its true :)
Seems no matter what craft it is, you never seem to have the right colour in your stash - no matter how big the stash is haha lol

coalrange1 - 2009-12-01 22:17:00
1782

are you checking out the auctions, any good ones?

twilight23 - 2009-12-01 22:26:00

Saw this joke in another thread ;

A passer-by watched two Irishmen in a park. One was digging holes and the other was immediately filling them in again.

'Tell me, 'said the passer-by, 'What on earth are you doing?'

'Well, 'said the digger, 'Usually there are three of us. I dig, Fergal plants the tree and Sean fills in the hole.

Today Fergal is away unwell, but that doesn't mean Sean and I have to take the day off, does it?'

coalrange1 - 2009-12-01 22:27:00

im finished sewing for the day to, i like looking at the auctions (fabric and sewing )but there is so many aye

twilight23 - 2009-12-01 22:28:00

twilight23 - 2009-12-01 22:30:00
1790

Yes it takes quite a while to see them all, i have a few favourite ones that the new listings are emailed and if i do go into auctions i tend to just look at gallery or latest listings.

Ok I have to get some sleep.
