Was a beaut day here in the Bay. Just finished tea. Yummy Thai curry.

Lucky lucky you with Thai curry skippie...we had savoury mince and mash. At last I have had some time in my shed and made two bunting flags for homework . Our group is holding a little exhibition as guest exhibitors for a small patchwork group next month and we are having a bunting name to identify us by. Each flag has to be like a mini quilt...with three layers. All done now...but not the floors! Another day at home tomorrow so just maybe then? What is everyone up to?

Well my flags are very basic, 3layers together with a letter on top, I didn't know that they had to resemble a mini quilt. Just read that in the above message from Jumbo. As I have used some horrible iron on stuf in the middle that gums up my sewing machine needle there is not a lot of sewing going on the top, bugger. We just call the modern minimalist quilts.

Coalie you cant video on freeview the video machine is av. and not compatable.
I have the video set up through a feeview box even though the tv has freeview just so that I can video. ( have some gadget applied which will work till the AV reception runs out) Will be saving up for the dvd recorder for the freeview. we change over completely next september in Hamilton.
Yip will have to watch it on demand. thanks though.
Have a great evening all

when i fed the cat at 4 the blackbird was there too as usual, i noticed as i walked away after putting the food in the bowl that the bird was closer than usual to the bowl so i sat and watched. the bird watched the cat and when the cat had his head down eating the bird tryed to get some food very carefully but when it got to within centimeters of the food the cat would look at the bird and the bird would turn its head the other way lol as tho to say you cant see me, then slowly its body would lean way over the opposite side away from the cat but its feet would stay firmly where they were ! dont know how it balanced like that it looked so silly and then it would realise the cat was eating again so it would all start over again and again till finally the cat walked away and the bird finished the food. it was so funny to watch.

Hi Shell, im using serviettes but fabric would look the same, kids thought it was fabric on the bed end when they saw it. i used pva glue watered down, fun and easy.
chair painted now and did a stool too, painted them creme, they were dark green and i tested it last night and the dark colour showed through the serviette.
jugs boiling :)

coalrange1 - 2012-09-23 10:31:00

The bed end looks so pretty Coalie, don't the serviettes go mushy with the glue?

Hi Wee :)
google said to take the 2 layers of paper off the backs of the serviettes but i found it was then way too fragile so i left one on. i put the glue on the bed end and then cut the serviette to fit around the iron using the length of the serviette, just like wallpapering, then when it dried i put a few coats of non watered down pva to seal it. hope that makes sense.
Wheres Dilli surely shes not still out flying and laying eggs hehe

coalrange1 - 2012-09-23 11:03:00
36348

im trying fabric on the stool, will see how it dries, show pic when its done.
Wee do you remember ages ago you showed us a pic of a little chair covered in fabric scraps that would be nice, a scrappy chair......
