| 252 | Twilight - Heres how to get your photos on here to upload a photo coalrange1 - 2009-09-20 19:44:00 |
| 253 | hi coalrange thanks for that will take lots of photos in the morning, that quilt you are making for your mum sounds really nice dont forget to take a photo and put on here i cant sew at night i have keraticonis (eye condition)it has progressed quite far that i only have very limited vision in my right eye and not to bad in my left eye, i have the strongest pair of glasses that is avalible. i should put on the back of my quilts "not allways perfect" loli can only read books with big print our liburay has a really big sellection lol cheers twilight23 - 2009-09-20 20:12:00 |
| 254 | Found a website today "Quiltaholics" some are pretty funny some I can relate to which is scary hehe http://www.quiltaholics.com/confess/confessj.htm have fun, ok back to sewing for me ;) Sorry about your eyesight Twilight, at least you can still sew during the day and also a quilt should not be perfect, I once read that the people that make Turkish rugs (the real expensive ones) always make one mistake in each one because we are only human and only God can make things perfect. I dont particularly like quilts that are perfect, the less spectacular not perfect ones have more love in them hehe. coalrange1 - 2009-09-20 20:24:00 |
| 255 | I know hmmm me again.... Ok but the housework is done, shoppings done, didnt buy any fabric today....then again havent looked through new listings hehe. Am gona sew, soon as I get off here but I was just thinking, a friend of mine bought a lamp for hand sewing at night off trademe, the seller asked if he should just leave the bulb in she replied may as well and that she needed lamp for night hand sewing. He replied that it had a blue bulb and that that was what she needed. Anyway turns out it is fantastic she says it is the whitest light and she can easily sew at night now. Have great day everyone :) coalrange1 - 2009-09-21 11:09:00 |
