| 45611 | Hello everyone .... Finally on line .... Been gardening and meeting with friends today and have a grandie staying overnight so no computer time for me today. Just popped in to say hello. Want to do some button craft with grandie before she goes home in the morning ... Was too tired to do it tonight. Haven't been near the sewing machine for nearly a week but hopefully will get a chance tomorrow afternoon. One older grandie has asked for some scrunchies .... She is 14 so I think I will teach her how to make her own ....... If only I could remember how. I am sure it will all come back to me once I start. barbrose - 2013-09-21 22:14:00 |

| 45616 | Hi thanks for cuppas coalrange1 - 2013-09-22 16:20:00 |
| 45617 | nite all off to my room to knit will sew tomorrow then post sewing to England carolev - 2013-09-22 17:38:00 |
| 45618 | Help Please. I am going well with my classes - have just finished my 6th 12 inch block. The class sample is for 9 blocks - 3 by 3 but we can do more if we want. Trouble is I'm not sure where I will put the quilt so not sure of size to make. 3 by 3 looks a bit small so would I be better to do 4 by 3 or even 4 by 4? Both my daughters are studying away from home, with the older one finishing at the end of the year. She is hoping to head to Aus so I will have her room free to put it in. Being my first I don't really want to give it away. Any ideas? Other thing is I have to have the blocks completed by 3 weeks time. I work 4 nightshifts a week so only really have Sundays to do any. Not sure if I could do 10 in 3 weeks. Thanks juju40 - 2013-09-22 18:54:00 |
| 45619 | Hi Juju, as time is going to be tight I would just do the blocks for the class and put a wide border on the quilt. The border can use the same fabrics as are in the blocks or plain. Or you could join the blocks, add a small border and hang it on the wall. coalrange1 - 2013-09-22 19:39:00 |
| 45620 | Thanks coalrange1. Wasn't sure if with a border it would fit a single bed though. Hanging on the wall could be worth a go, although might be too big for that. Decisions, decisions. juju40 - 2013-09-22 20:05:00 |
| 45621 | Why not use it as a tablecloth? They wash really well and if you just used it decoratively you wouldn't have to wash it too often. You could put sashing between the blocks to stretch it out a bit...and it would also showcase each block. jumbobon - 2013-09-22 21:33:00 |
| 45622 | a tablecloth would be nice. coalrange1 - 2013-09-22 22:42:00 |
| 45623 | hAND UP HERE JUMBO dilligaf_dah - 2013-09-22 23:15:00 |
| 45624 | Good morning. Breakfast will be up in a mo...help yourselves. Guess what? Last night was the first time this year that the door was left open all night. I slept so well with the fresh air. Mmmmmmm...long may it last. jumbobon - 2013-09-23 06:41:00 |
| 45625 | Good morning. Do you need a hand with breakfast Jumbo? barbrose - 2013-09-23 06:47:00 |
| 45626 | morning girls. thanks for breakfast daughter phone at 6 to say her hubby has had a heart attach and is back in hospital. So if you can a healing prayer please. I be sewing today then posting off the parcel carolev - 2013-09-23 07:01:00 |
| 45627 | MORNING ALL dilligaf_dah - 2013-09-23 08:45:00 |
| 45628 | Healing thoughts headed your way carolev. barbrose - 2013-09-23 10:20:00 |
| 45629 | Goodmorning :) coalrange1 - 2013-09-23 11:51:00 |
| 45630 | Oh no Carole...fairy good wishes heading your way. No coalie. I gesso over some of the pages and finger paint on others. Today I am going to try ink splats and have them running over the pages. I can still see the text on some pages when they are painted but I just go ahead and use the page anyway. I don't even know what glaze is! What do you use it for? jumbobon - 2013-09-23 12:20:00 |
| 45631 | Jumbo do you have this book ? coalrange1 - 2013-09-23 13:24:00 |
| 45632 | Just got a txt from the Janome shop to say my machine was ready for collection. He must have noticed the anxious twitching start as I walked out the door without it this morning. He said the biggest problem was the thread I was using - it was un-named but he called it rubblish and showed me the difference in the stitches using that thread and a good quality thread. I had wondered about that - how can you tell what is good and what isn't? I find once I remove the outer cellophane and the little top bit (where the hole is), there is no identifying marks on the reel. Maybe there is on the good quality stuff?? barbrose - 2013-09-23 15:19:00 |
| 45633 | Oh...yes...I have used it once mixed with paint! And I have some in the shed right now...so I do know what it is. Duh me... Are you using it on your book? Mine is taking a long long time to finish each page...like days. Is yours? jumbobon - 2013-09-23 15:55:00 |
| 45634 | Bar I use any thread too, have used good thread on a couple of quilts but was so expensive :( coalrange1 - 2013-09-23 17:38:00 |
| 45635 | Haven't done them yet coalie. I ended up putting more coats of paint on some cats I had drawn in the book...and I had visitors as well. I'm going back to the op shop to work every Tuesday morning starting from tomorrow but I will do some tomorrow afternoon. jumbobon - 2013-09-23 21:31:00 |

| 45643 | Where is everyone? It is too too quiet...are you all sheltering from the storm? I only spent $2 at the op shop today. Two books to alter and a small book to cut up...the pictures are delicious of cherubs and flowers and old fashioned romance. The cats are unhappy tonight. They don't like the rain...especially Brooke who hides and has big wide frightened eyes. jumbobon - 2013-09-24 19:11:00 |
