Ok Cindydog Ok so we used to have a certain courier come a couple of times a week with stuff for hubbys work each time he came i told him "boring i dont want this stuff i want a bunch flowers" this went on for a year or so and then one day he pulled out a bunch of flowers for me, said the florist had given him too many bunches hehe. It was sooooo embarrasing but lovely too. And yes family knows. But I never say anything much to couriers now LOL

I think this is a bit like you can never have enough paper for scrap booking. Both my daughter and I are so addicted to scrap pages that we have heaps. Still heaps more to buy though.

hi Tetawa Yup its all very addictive ;)but lots of fun. Ok gotta go watch the Ferns now, hope everyones got their fingers crossed, haha cant sew with ya fingers crossed ;)

Ok that was werid somehow my screen jumped from the quilting fabric section of trademe...(i was just looking) right to our thread here... Do you think this is my computers way of telling me to buy more fabric???

liz_taylor - 2009-09-13 20:18:00
215

Liz I think maybe its telling you the opposite but dont you let your computer run your life ... you will have to buy some now and then say haha computer im the boss here.... that is so weird aye how on earth can it jump to this page eek very strange.

231

Hi Twilight :) Whoa had a look at the cool cats panel - seriously bright - hmmmm was going to suggest batik fabric (dont know much about fabrics but it seems very bright) but then again what about just black with it ????? Soooo youve got a grandson , (or as Holly calls them grandys) ohhhh thats a fun day, how many grandys do you have ? Hope you find some fabric, all the best :)

Evening all :) Gorgeous fabric Holly, awwww are you catching the quilting bug hahaha sure sounds like it ;) it starts off very subtle you know, you dont even see it sneeking up and then : you buy fabric, you say it will make a cool quilt, you say you dont even make quilts yet LOL youve already caught the bug haha soooooo many symptoms hahaha had to happen so many lovely ladies talk about quilts on this message board. Go for it Holly make this one for yourself and then you've got your kids and grandies its so rewarding and they will love them, and with how well you sew anyway they will be gorgeous. Ok whew that was long winded. Have great nite all. Hahaha Hollys caught the bug hehe ;)

whoops took hubby with me to spotlight to geta couple of fat 1/4s for a doll quilt for miss 3's friends birthday... he almost had more fabric in the trolley then i did... Looks like his "scrappy" quilt is gonna have some nice actual quilting cotton in it now

liz_taylor - 2009-09-19 15:29:00

I sure do like having a stash cupboard ;) Today was the first time ever I have been able to pick out fabric for a whole quilt without having to buy something to go with what I have. Mind you the fabric I have taken out will need to be replaced at some stage aye .... cant possibly have a gap or spare space in the cupboard, that just wouldnt be right. Glad your all havin a good day :)

coalrange1 - 2009-09-19 19:28:00

hi holly would it be rude off me to ask how much you paid for that beautifull faries fabrci and how many different colours were there cheers martine
