Judy do you have the weekend off to sew ?
finally i have started snipping ......
9.35 tonight on prime is 'true stories - embarrasing pets' on the shorts some people had a full grown sheep in their lounge maybe it was watching tv hehe

Coalie I always have the weekend off - but sometimes I plan to sew, sew, sew and before I get going the weekend is gone with grocery shopping, chores, walking with my friend etc. I find if I take annual leave and make a long weekend of it I start to get in the sewing mood by the last day - never mind - I get there in the end.

Ooooh, I got the new page without even trying!

Lol got the crochet bug and no sewing been done for awhile...and NO you don't want to live near Spotlight cause it sort of keeps taking your money even when you go for a browse !!!!

Had a lovely lunch with grandie today... Happy Birthday Hun :) :)

It's nite nite from me too.

skippie1 - 2012-11-23 23:36:00

morning ladies. nice day for sewing.

carolev - 2012-11-24 07:23:00

Mooooorning all. What a shame you don't live here in the best bay in the land...the sun is shining yet again and it is almost like summers used to be. If you are as aged as me ...and Jenno is MUCH older...you might remember them thar days. Anyway it is just beeyoootarful.
Holly...I did just what you are doing. I used to go to Arthur Toyes and buy up large ready for my retirement...and I do have a wonderful stash. But there is a problem. Although I only do relief work now I still buy fabric! The truth is that designs change all the time...and you just have to have a little bit of this a nd that before it ak
Ll goes because you might never see it again! Jenno can vouch for the size of my stash...which is even bigger than my situpon...and you know how big that is! My word muttley is a lucky man to have so much to love....
Breakfast is ready and waiting for all takers.

jumbobon - 2012-11-24 08:15:00

thanks for brekkie jumbo
just waiting to be picked up now......
and what a lovely day it is too..........
You all have a great day also.
Tell ya all about the wedding tomorra with photos

dilligaf_dah - 2012-11-24 08:30:00

Good morning, oh my goodness Jumbo, did you take a double dose of you drugs, you are so chirpy this morning, must admit though, it's a gorgeous day out there.
So your stash is bigger then mine, I knew it, problem is I never see all your stash as you hide it in all corners in your room. Well as or poor Mutley, say no more.
What are you all going to do today?

skippie1 - 2012-11-24 08:38:00

Have fun Dilli and enjoy.

skippie1 - 2012-11-24 08:38:00

I take it skippie doesn't want coffee at my place today then!? I am so chirpy because muttley is home after his conference in Wellington...and even though I asked for the short story I got the long one...sigh...and truth be told, he hasn't finished yet. Oh my poor ears...

jumbobon - 2012-11-24 09:31:00

And skippie...where does it say my stash is biggerer than yours? It's a bit like saying Tongariro is bigger than Everest!

jumbobon - 2012-11-24 09:34:00

Morning all tis a beaut day down here also !!
just waiting on the washing machine to finish so i can go hang up washing.
Not sure whats doing here hopefully some sewing laterer on after some house chores..

shell156 - 2012-11-24 09:34:00

morning everyone :)

off to the dutch market day this morning mmm yum yum
then going to farmers to buy some pants that fit over my tummy the ones with elastic round the waist, not my favorite type of pants but will have to do for now
then will try and do some fabric cutting :)
shell my stash is small compered to everyone else, i did have lots of dress fabric from when i was working at spotlight but i got rid of all that and only kept my craft fabric,
have a nice day ladies :)

twilight23 - 2012-11-24 10:33:00

goodmorning :)
sunny here bit windy but nice
ive been to the market and got some christmas prezzies, slowly getting organised.
my stash isnt big either, enough for quite a few quilts but not so much that i cant find room for more haha although a while back i did change the sewing room to a bigger one hahaha
jugs boiling .....

coalrange1 - 2012-11-24 11:07:00

I am sure if we all combined our stashes we would have more then a few Spotlight stores. :-)))) together.
Coffee time, kettle is boiling.

skippie1 - 2012-11-24 11:21:00

No-one can ever have too much fabric. My 1st hubby was the type to chuck stuff out if it hadn't been used for a few days...ratbag!

shell156 - 2012-11-24 13:17:00

Shell, I have to admit that I have a bit -:)))))) more then that, I already said to Jumbo that I need to purge my room, is there anything you would like, I can see if I have it and post it to you.
Kivrin, my hubby would never do that, mind you I do not go not his workshop either, we are hoarders as you never know when you need it.

skippie1 - 2012-11-24 14:30:00

Kivrin - is that why he is no longer your husband?????

yduj - 2012-11-24 16:10:00

Been out to the Savemart op shop this morning and came home with a huge piece of calico (2.4 wide and 7.2m long which I'll use to back a couple of quilts ($7.99). I also got 2.5 metres of fabric that will be perfect as the backing for the Bookshelf Quilt ($4.99) and 4.00 metres of some old fashioned colours ($2.99). I love a bargain. Will probably list some of this as fat quarters so it pays for itself.

yduj - 2012-11-24 16:42:00

good shopping judy :) the calico dyes nice and tis fun hehe
raggie in the wash finally finished the snipping ... waiting to see what it looks like ......

coalrange1 - 2012-11-24 17:52:00

Well done yduj, I love a bargain as well, especially when you can use then straight away.
Coallie, we are also waiting to see what it looks like.-:)

Cool quilt coallie, well done and thanks for the snupper, need it as I have just started stitching a gorgeous quilt made from Kaffe Fassett fabrics and its going to take a while before that is finished.
Shell I am going to be a veeeeeeery old person if I have to use or need all my fabrics, there is always some to share.
Wonder if Dilli is having a good time.

shell156 - 2012-11-24 22:40:00

What are the fabric requirements,for each color

Would probably depend on what size quilt your making.

shell156 - 2012-11-24 23:15:00

Love the quilt coalie. What is the name of your factory?! I got the border and half the binding on a quilt tonight but need to tidy up the corners tomorrow. Shouldn't have done it while I was tired!
See you in the morning.

jumbobon - 2012-11-25 00:33:00

Nite nite all. I am stil wide awake, can someone send the sandman please.

skippie1 - 2012-11-25 00:40:00

The sandman was very slow coming as he has only just arrived. So it's nite nite from me again.

skippie1 - 2012-11-25 03:58:00

Wake up skippie!! Good morning lovely ladies...how is your head today Dilli? I know what skippie was up to last night. She was in her shed quilting! It was a big quilt and I bet she finished it too. I had three teenage boys having a midnight snack with me. Twin grannies had a friend staying for the weekend and they came for milo and chocolate...it was lubber lay! So watch out cos I might get grumpy today having had such a late night. Mind you...grumpy might be in luck. I won't be moving too fast today!!
Breakfast is ready for those who want it...

jumbobon - 2012-11-25 07:15:00

Grandies...not grannies!
