| 35160 | I am here, have just finished a quilt that had to be done to go into the Exhibition, no not mine I still have to do that one.
Judy, I always have used an office chair for my sewing, I also have an sewezy table which is great as that lowers the machine and stops back aches too.
Coallie, just as well it's a pick up only with that auctions, which would have been rather tempting otherwise.
Nearly bedtime, is now raining here too and it's getting cold. Nite nite.; skippie1 - 2012-07-22 22:59:00 |

| 35167 | Another UFO completed. This was going to be the back of Jacob's quilt, but thought it would be better as a cot quilt.

Wow Skippie thats amazing that you were watching it, just picked up. It just fitted in my car whew not an inch to spare oooh its so very heavy but lovely, not sure where i will put it yet ...... any suggestions ( other than Skippies house hehe )
Exhibition quilts sound interesting, supposing we wont be able to see pic till exhibition over ?
thanks for cuppas, very wet here and windy, going to sew now
have a fun day :)
B quilt is so lovely. coalrange1 - 2012-07-23 12:08:00 |
| 35169 | grrrrrr,,,,,,,,,
got the machines out today that I bought as spares (one I bought cause it had the manual with it - older model)
The older one goes like a dream just needed a good clean and oiling.
the other one didnt go at all. darn it would have been fabo. No power and could not get the foot lever (stitching) to go down to sew.
Have just emailed the seller. - they wont be happy either.
Go figure eh the 20.00 machine goes and the 100 one doesnt.
Well at least I can still sew again eh. Untill I can afford to get my good one fixed.
Hope I can get a refund though.
Ok me rrr finished for the day.
Jugs on for a coffee. |
| 35170 | oh Dilli, at least one does sew but grr to the other.
thanks for coffeeeeeeee coalrange1 - 2012-07-23 13:08:00 |
| 35171 | ***** HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLE ***** coalrange1 - 2012-07-23 13:09:00 |
| 35172 | Afternoon all, grotty windy day here.
Im contemplating how to fix my sons school pants, they have ripped at both knees as they do, they are like a silky fabric with a stupid lining, i was going to iron on some mending patch and try and stitch it by hand to make it stay there, will the iron melt the pants ?? i would use a towel or something to put under iron. I want to mend them as they were only brought at the start of winter and aprt from the holes there is heaps of wear left in them yet..
Happy bithday to carole shell156 - 2012-07-23 14:17:00 |
| 35173 | dessert before tea haha good idea aye, help yourselves .....
http://thumbs.ifood.tv/files/images/ice_cream.jpg coalrange1 - 2012-07-23 18:09:00 |
| 35174 | Verry good idea coalie. heheheeeeeee |
| 35175 | Evening all, rather wet here as it has rained all day.
Shell. open the side seams from the trouser legs and stitch a patch from seam to seam on the inside as well as the outside of the legs to give it some thickness and strength,then stitch up the side seams again. That would also solve the problem not having to iron the fabric. Hope this helps if you haven't done it already. skippie1 - 2012-07-23 20:42:00 |
| 35176 | coalie, that dessert was beautiful, might have to come back for seconds later. That is if there is any left!!!!! ;-) bhs47 - 2012-07-23 20:53:00 |

. bhs47 - 2012-07-23 22:33:00 |
| 35181 | Shell just open the lining too and stitch the side seams with the lining together again when you have added the patches on the knees.
And it's a good night from me. skippie1 - 2012-07-23 23:28:00 |

Cutting for me today. |
| 35184 | Good morning all. What's on the board for today? For me I don't know, maybe play time on the sewing machine. Have found a nice quilt pattern that lends itself to five panels of machine embroidery. Just might be what I need to do. bhs47 - 2012-07-24 10:26:00 |
| 35185 | Thanks for your advise/tips skippie, might have a go and unpick them, they will get fixed one way or another.

jugs boiling :) coalrange1 - 2012-07-24 11:44:00 |
| 35187 | shell it may be easier to re sew the lining and slipery outer by using some narrow binding tape on the seam to give the needle grip.. If youd like some ill send you some have plenty here. |
| 35188 | coallie I am coming your way, we haven't seen the sun for a few days. Boil the kettle for a cuppa I see if I can start the Yellow bird. skippie1 - 2012-07-24 13:03:00 |

| 35193 | {{ hugs }} for you Carole, hope you are better very soon.
Ooooh Skippie the yellow bird travels fast hehe was lovely to see you, the sunshine was so warm. Dilli what ya talking about going south again, your here most mornings hehe, your broom knows the way without you even having to steer now :)
Joy knitting is relaxing, i havent done any for years now, the other night i remembered that years ago i knitted a Kaffee Fassett shawl out of pure wool, its huge like a blanket and so warm so i dug it out and blobbed.
have been sewing quilt today but im on a go slow so not happening very fast but theres no rush.
what do you fancy for snupper ? coalrange1 - 2012-07-24 20:05:00 |
| 35194 | Text from Twi -
Beaut days here, went on a gondola ride up the mountains and back by train, tomorrow going on a food trail tour, chocolate cheese wine tropical fruit coffee and nuts. Lots of NZ's here. Temp 25, say hello to the girls.
Skippie think you better get the yellow bird out and Dilli get your broom, Jumbo can i borrow one of the flying pigs while you ride the other, we will pick up everyone else on the way and we will go see Twi :) Edited by coalrange1 at 8:37 pm, Tue 24 Jul coalrange1 - 2012-07-24 20:37:00 |
| 35195 | coallie that sounds like a great idea, I am sure the weather will be a lot warmer and drier then we are having at the moment and we will have lots of fun along the way. Better keep it quiet to we will surprise Twi. skippie1 - 2012-07-24 21:53:00 |
