Awesome Jenno...it is going to look fantabulistic when it is finished! Mr 11arrived pronto after lunch. I gave him the options of quilting the front by showing him quilted and un quilted cushions. He didn't think the lines would look good on his fa bric. Translation? I just want to finish it...I can't wait, so I have taken a pic and will show you soon.

See the mess in the cupboard? It took a long time to choose the right fabric.

LOL Dilli haha Jumbo's gona be after youuuuuuuuuuu

coalrange1 - 2013-01-30 18:56:00

Must say he is a good looking lad, takes after his Dad, not Grandma Jumbo.

skippie1 - 2013-01-30 19:02:00

Oi you lot! Just you remember, without me he wouldn't be around...take that...and that...and that!! He is also a sweet and gentle soul who has ambitions to be an All Black...and he's pretty darned good too. Got that from me as well. H hmmm

jumbobon - 2013-01-30 19:15:00

Well Jumbo in that case he might end up being a prop, just like you.

skippie1 - 2013-01-30 19:30:00

Don't you mean just like us? Wouldn't it be an interesting scrum...we could discuss what batting to use, what thread to use, what quilting to do. Baste, stitch, bind and voila!

jumbobon - 2013-01-30 19:38:00

Wonder who wins.

jumbobon - 2013-01-30 20:01:00

thinking of you Twilite all the best for today, yes a second pair of ears always helps too...also ask for a copy of specialists notes to be sent to you so you always have a record...{{{{x}}}}

Jumbo how cool your grandson sewing with you thats awsome...not many kids are interested these days...my 2 grown daughters are not least bit into it even tho i have sewn all my life under there noses lol...think i will teach miss 7 a few things in a while she seems to love watching me and asks questions...then she can teach her mum a thing or two haha.

grizzvk - 2013-01-31 10:35:00

Morning all,
Very warm here too already, yuck !
Going visiting this morning and then grocery shopping later.
You have a very handsome grandson there jumbo and very clever to sew that cushion, what 11 year olds would do that with the grandma/nana !!
Hugs for twi today, and yes she has got everyone here holding her hand..
Wee i think your 2 little gingas are going to be very spoilt indeed..
Have a lovely day all

shell156 - 2013-01-31 10:59:00

Shell...the three boys have sewn with me and they all love it. They spend heaps of time with us and are just lovely boys to be around. They all call me Jumbo and muttley is Mealybug. His name came about because he is stout and hairy . We used to grow fruit and one of his mates said he was just like Mealybug...short, fat and hairy, hard to find in the orchard and once you do find it you can't get rid of it! Sort of stuck...
I hope they don't keep twi waiting.

jumbobon - 2013-01-31 11:45:00

aww Mealybug :( poor Muttley .
no news yet, jugs boiling ......has come out hot here.

coalrange1 - 2013-01-31 16:39:00
