Great to hear from you twi...no doubt you will feel more free once those staples have gone. Have been wondering how you were doing.
What is everyone doing! It is quiet in here. I don't have to cook tonight because muttley has a function to attend. I think it is a graduation at EIT. LUCKY LUCKY ME...

jumbobon - 2013-05-08 17:57:00

Evening folks. Twi great to read that you are moving about, will be much better tomorrow when those staples are gone.
Dilli, what kinda knitting pattern are you looking for. Yes I went to spotlight, bought wool batting, was 30% discount and I had that voucher, that made it attractive for me. BLobbing now, watching a doco on the dutch channel abut the 1st WW. It's also coffee time, anyone?

skippie1 - 2013-05-08 19:23:00

Hi Just a matinee jacket )raglan sleeve, Hat and booties. Had two here that were very nice but can not find them. Carole may have some that I can photocopy will ring her next week if I can not find my ones.

barbrose - 2013-05-08 21:04:00

Oh dear, as she rubs the cramped limb.

skippie1 - 2013-05-08 21:10:00

Thanks Skippie .... Feel much better now

barbrose - 2013-05-08 21:26:00

No problem.

skippie1 - 2013-05-08 21:30:00

Chuck some corks in the bed when you go...that's supposed to help. But it might help ,more if you drink what the corks were holding inside the bottles first!
I've been stitching all night long and now my fingers are sore.
Ivy...you can hide but you can't run! I think I may have hunted you down. Pam.

jumbobon - 2013-05-08 21:48:00

Jumbo , Goody two shoes, been stitching all night. I Have done zilch can't be bothered tonight.

skippie1 - 2013-05-08 21:57:00

Yes. But I haven't been at work all day. Poor skippie...are you happy with your batting? I got just over two metres square of it and I am chuffed! Along with my other stuff that is...
BUT NO FABRIC!!!

jumbobon - 2013-05-08 22:01:00

Good girl, no fabric for me either, just batting, yes a chuffed with it.

skippie1 - 2013-05-08 22:08:00

sweet dreams :)

LOL I did try to make it easy for you! Did you see my list of classes is bigger than yours? Lots of FMQ classes... altho I have resisted the urge to sign up for Leah's latest one... so far. Wee money saving hint for you Jumbo, if you're interested in a class, always check to see if they have their own website as when they do, they sometimes offer their classes for 50% off if you buy via their website. I really do need to knuckle down and get back to my FMQ lessons... and the dreaded ooops I mean lovely feathers. Coalie you'll have to find a way to show us yours!!!
Ha ha I see I'm not the only one to buy batting from Spotlight when they have their $40 off... I just haven't made it there yet... sssshhhh don't tell Grizz ;-)

lviolets - 2013-05-08 22:54:00

Good morning merry sunshines. Muttley has just delivered my drink in bed...jump in and you'll get one too.
I have quite a list of classes but haven't done many of them yet. The good thing is that they are always there...I haven't paid full price for any of them...and usually take the free ones pronto!
More stitching for me today. So much to do...so little time...
Psssst. Grizz....ask ivy if she is going to spotlight...

jumbobon - 2013-05-09 06:56:00

Morning ALL
Whats this 40 of at spotlight??????
I went yesta day and saw nawt like that
Need to go and get milk as I have none before daughter comes ( I dont use milk only in baking)
Have a nice day all.

dilligaf_dah - 2013-05-09 08:11:00

Dilli there was a letter that came from spotlight with a coupon...if you spent $100 you got $40 off. You have to have a card and present it before the discount works...really worthwhile...especially when there was 30% off wool batting...

jumbobon - 2013-05-09 08:38:00

Goodmorning all from a showery chilly Kapiti Coast :)
fires going so cozy in here.
thanks for cuppas .....
I got a pic of the tablecloth quilt so far. ok when you look do not I repeat do not look too close tis a bit messy up close and remember this is a first time thing ok, the feathers at the top was a first time, the second one not quite so messy, the center quilted one i had done once before.I know I should practice first but do I ever practice anything nope LOL
http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/266691419.jpg

Oh Bar that dog on your quilt is very well done in those colours...and can i add your dad looked quite handsome in 1948 lol.
Coaly will you turn the cloth into a quilt top when you have finished your exquisite work ? so much for 'a bit messy' are you kidding!

grizzvk - 2013-05-09 12:02:00

twilight23 - 2013-05-09 12:36:00

Coalie...that is stunning! Messy? I could show you messy...I would be thrilled to bits with that AFTER practising!
Uncover your ears grizz...you might miss out on something.
Cheese and pickle sandwiches here if you'd like some. I am freezing. I think I'll have to shut the doors and put the heat pump on. Brrrrr...

jumbobon - 2013-05-09 12:47:00

just got back from Dillis, she is such a good cook could've stayed but left the sewing machine at home hehe
Yes Twi do put your name on the tablecloth it is fun and a really nice change.
Suns shining here now tis quite warm out too now.
Grizz cant hear you Jumbo you may need to SHOUT hehe
Thanks Jumbo but im sure you don't make messes well only in the kitchen and blame us hahahaha

coalrange1 - 2013-05-09 14:32:00

Oh Coalie you've been holding out on us!!! Still searching for the mess... blowed if I can find it... spied some pretty feathers tho! Look at you go girl! Looooove it!

Shout all you like, Grizz is away to work, aaaawww pooor wee Grizz. Ooops forgot to tell you Grizz, I have managed a teeny tiny bit of quilting... made some coasters for Mum for Mums Day. Not as pretty as her original set but all I had left of the fabric were 2 different small sizes of triangles that were off cuts from her trivets. Ma will be happy now tho, well come Sunday... she will have enough for more visitors LOL. These are the latest...
http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/266743683.jpg
and these are the originals... the large trivet was my first ever completed quilting project... a year ago! Twas my first attempt at binding and all!
http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/266743737.jpg

Right off to set up the machine for FMQ... I have some catching up to do and you lot are getting me motivated, thanks heaps!

lviolets - 2013-05-09 16:00:00

Jumbo, yep you definitely found me ;-) Hope you have your settings set so you get an email when somebody comments on your projects or replies to you??? Can be fun! Have you checked out what classes I'm in? If you click on my name from my comments to you, it will take you to my "home" page and on that is the list of classes I'm in. Can't wait to see more on your projects page! Enjoy!

lviolets - 2013-05-09 16:04:00

Ooooh nearly forgot... you're all talking about the wool batting... I've not used it yet but Cindy Needham uses an extra wool layer (Hobbs can be split) on top of her usual batting to provide more puff. I don't think our Spotlight one can be split like hers... has anyone tried it? Also, is it a good weight for quilts? I'm thinking of using it on my nieces one but not sure if it will have enough body? I've been using cotton or bamboo. I await your comments, oh wise ones.

lviolets - 2013-05-09 16:09:00

daughter just sent this link,
http://promotions.spotlight.com.au/Coupons/E15_13_Coupon.pdf

just print it and you could all go back to spotlight :)))))
she found it in google.

Edited by coalrange1 at 4:35 pm, Thu 9 May

coalrange1 - 2013-05-09 16:34:00

Thanks Vi haha holding out, I didn't know I could do them hehe.
Love the coasters they are lovely and perfectly made.

coalrange1 - 2013-05-09 16:41:00

Ivy I think your mum is very lucky to be getting such a pretty hand made gift. Your work is just so neat and tidy...and the binding is perfecto! I have just finished my second project in my Laura Wasilowski course. I had to outline stitch the stems because there wasn't enough contrast between the greens. Here it is...

http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/266751522.jpg

Hope it's there...I am getting used to uploading photos now! Better go and feed these braying donkey plonks...I think they are hungry.

jumbobon - 2013-05-09 16:48:00

im with you Vi waiting for the wise ones opinion on the batting ive only ever used the cotton one but makes sense to have more stuffing.
Jumbo wow another masterpiece, soooo cute and you made it so fast. Where are you going to hang them ? house or sewing room ?
doc who tonight and mrs brown :)))))

coalrange1 - 2013-05-09 18:59:00
