Oh yessssssss, that looks wonderful. Are you pleased with it. I think it absolutely right. What do you think Twi? You could even make the outside border wider if you have the fabric and you want it a bit bigger.

I am off to to the bedroom to watch Heartbeat now, recorded it this morning and the husband is watching Band of Brothers and I don't like war stuff so I'm sent to the bedroom and the tiny little TV. Never mind, I don't care.
Night all, won't be here tomorrow, out all day.
Night, night.

franny8 - 2010-01-18 20:57:00

I unfolded the outside binding part yeah that looks even better. Yes i am very pleased with it, and you two should be too, its as much your work as mine, im going to write our 3 names on the label :)

coalrange1 - 2010-01-18 20:59:00

Good morning ladies. Haven't been on the thread since Friday and its all your fault!!!!! lol The Twilight Express trip to Northern Ireland has had me on the computer almost nonstop since. You see after all these years of not finding much info on family etc, now found a fabulous site on Belfast. Gotten photos of places I used to visit, people that shared my interests when young. Boy I've had a ball, gotten enthused enough to put together a historical scrapbook for the Grandkids. Love the shortened names, I don't mind being Beryl or bhs just don't call me too early in the morning. Must dash appointment in 15 minutes.

Sorry bhs, i did read your message when you put it on, was just a bit busy with quilt. Thats so good that youve found so much info, computers are great aye. No wonder youve been so quiet. All the best with your book im sure it will be amazing :)

Morning all, just checking in before I take the dog for a walk before I go out. Thank you for your kind remarks, but I am not that clever and I had a huge amount of help from the ladies in my quilt group. Look forward to seeing your quilt Twi. Happy sewing, I am taking my quilt to group this morning to sew the binding, didn't do any yesterday. Have a nice day.

the bright colour that the pic is sitting on, is the sashing thats going around each individual pics, then the second colour, is the border then the green is the binding

twilight23 - 2010-01-19 13:14:00

I just realised Cindydog hasnt been here since yesterday when she was going into her stash cupboard, do you think we should call *Stan* or not ? it could be the ultimate place to be lost in or stuck in or whatever you call it ;)

coalrange1 - 2010-01-19 13:16:00

Twilight thats gorgeous fabrics :) looks good to me, but i will have a think ok ;)

coalrange1 - 2010-01-19 13:19:00

Twilight did you google name in selvage and see if they have quilt patterns for the fairies, im pretty sure it was Franny that told us about that, and since the fabrics all match i assume they are the same um .......words in selvage hmmm got confusing there huh ;)

coalrange1 - 2010-01-19 13:38:00

cindydog said she had to goto doc today and get a warrent for her car, if shes not here tonite we will send stan, ok
yes i googled the selvage but not much there, so will try again

twilight23 - 2010-01-19 13:47:00

What if you put a border of the green around pic as well as using it for binding ?

yes Twilight i was just looking in latest listings and it had been viewed 3 times so must of only just got put on. Lovely lady selling it she said she used to quilt but doesnt any more, so is very pleased it is going to be used in quilts and not just on sold.

coalrange1 - 2010-01-19 18:23:00

Hi Twi, love the fabric, really pretty, saw a lot of it at Calico Christmas, did anyone else go. Think Coalie is right green border around your panel, not too wide thought, the the rest exactly as you have it on your latest pic. Gosh it is sooo pretty, who are you making it for?
Great buy for the fabric Coalie. Hope no one gazumps you.

franny8 - 2010-01-19 19:32:00
