Happy Birthday Holly and also "too much".
Lovely quilt B as always. I been sitting on my butt doing nothing but crocheting, finished my granny rug and now my son has taken over that so i have started a new one.
My son and I took our little dog for a walk this morning and L hit the ice on his scooter and came off, very lucky he just hurt his butt. Have to be very careful on the footpaths.
Whats for tea ??

Have put a Ham and egg pie into the oven so that should warm the area a bit.
Did get some sewing done today but it was not going to good so gave up on it. and just cut up the velcro that Id bought into the sizes I needed.
So now have coloured dust all over me heheheeeeeeee

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HOLLY hope you've had a great day.

bhs47 - 2012-07-02 17:30:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - 2much, what a way to go 34809 & it didn't take all that long. Well done coalie for starting & to all for keeping it going so long.

bhs47 - 2012-07-02 17:32:00

Just added the border to the Mystery quilt & it will now be put away until I can find the right backing for it. So here's your peek until sometime in the near future when it will be finished.

Happy birthday HollyJ and happy birthday too much!
Another bleak cold day here and I have a hubby and 2 kids with the sniffles and coughs. No plans for the holidays except to survive them lol! Missy's other ratty girl crossed the rainbow bridge suddenly last Thursday and the house isn't quite right with out any twitchy nosed friends.
Happy crafting everyone, anyone got any project photos to share?

wee5 - 2012-07-02 17:44:00

Happy Birthday Holly, hope you have had a wonderful day. Not long till you reach 35,000 2 much, that will be a celebration.
BHS that quilt is amazing, love also the one for your grandson. How do you do it?
I am still plodding along on hexies, finished my little raggie quilt but it is purely decroative with buttons and laces.
Hope everyone is surviving the cold

joy4 - 2012-07-02 18:09:00

thanks joy, I think so too. I never thought that I would ever make a quilt like the mystery one, so just be patient it has taken a long time to get to this stage.

bhs47 - 2012-07-02 18:19:00

be that quilt is awesome. Really love it. Well done
Have chocolate here and coke zero for the party and straws.

dilligaf_dah - 2012-07-02 18:37:00

B that quilt is just gorgeous, while you are waiting to find the right backing you might have to give it a thought how you would like to quilt it. Doodle things down on a piece of paper as it's the most difficult part of finishing a quilt, what to stitch it with.
Happy Birthday to 2 Much, Thank you coallie for starting it, I would never have got to know you all if it wasn't for this thread.

Ok WHats happened to the party been checking in here in the ads but no one on board.
Ive been drinking hic hic hic hic all the drinks meself heheheheeee

dilligaf_dah - 2012-07-02 21:42:00

skippie, it is funny you saying that I should think about how to quilt it as that was the conversation I had with another quilter that is up to the same stage as me & neither of us have any idea what to do. She will probably be sending it to the longarm quilting lady. I will be doing it myself & it will have to be machine done as hand can't hold a needle for too long. I am open to ideas as I have never done anything like this before & I usually go back to stippling.

bhs47 - 2012-07-02 21:47:00

dilli if you are drinking that zero coke again then I will pass on sharing with you, but I just might pop a cork on the finest that I can find in the wine cellar. I'll be back in a moment while I see what I can find!

bhs47 - 2012-07-02 21:50:00

ok I'm back but it looks like the girls have all been in the cellar before me & have opened just about every bottle of champers. Their heads will be a tad sore in the mornin'. http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/26/222534126_full.jp

I think they may have gone into the VAT room to see if they could find something a bit older. wine that is

bhs47 - 2012-07-02 21:58:00

Oh so thats where coalie,twi, jumbo, holly and skippie and the others have been hiding from mes No wanders me coulda nota find thema.
Ok me will stick to mes zeros for the nite. You enjoy yur bit older stuffffff hic hic hic heheheheheeeeeeee

dilligaf_dah - 2012-07-02 23:13:00

Jugs on for hot drinks to sober anyone up that need or would like to.

dilligaf_dah - 2012-07-02 23:14:00

Well B and dillyI went into the VAT room and love some of that old stuff, got sorta lost in there, so dilli I can now use a little of your hot drink so i can sober up.
Better go to bed and sleep it of, see you all in the morning.

skippie1 - 2012-07-02 23:28:00

B re your quilt. The shop where you got the Mystery quilt from I would ask them first for suggestions. Look at your quilt, maybe a feathers for the outer border, another feather for the lighter path that goes around the centre block a bigger triangle to fill the four corners. The centre a block on point.
You can go to a site where we buy the machine patterns from and look for ideas there. The Site is from Anne Bright, the site is slow with loading and searching but there are some lovely patterns. You will see that they are in groups of blocks, borders etc.

skippie1 - 2012-07-02 23:37:00

Morning all, another day is here, come on up you get, stretch those legs.
Tea is made so it's nice and hot at the mo. Breakfast help yourself, we have all sorts.

dilligaf_dah - 2012-07-04 08:37:00

Stashes - are a VERY important part of a satisfying life. And a safeguard against hard times that could be coming round the corner. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that's enough. Let what you can afford be your limit.

andale2 - 2012-07-04 09:45:00

Welcome aboard andale, you have come to the right place if you are talking stashes. What kinda stash do you have, or do you have more then one.?

skippie1 - 2012-07-04 10:55:00

Jugs on for lunch all.
Welcome andale to the crazy lot of stashers here.
Finished all the staight sewing so now waiting to borrow a machine that will do zigzag. (have 180 plus nappies waiting for the elastic to be sewn on.)(finished 30 earlier for orders and a little stash) that should keep my supply going for a while eh.
Have a nice arvo all.

dilligaf_dah - 2012-07-04 12:31:00

Welcome Andale :)
