46957 | Thats reasonable postage then Barb. I think the savings on the fabrics more thann seem to make up for the post price aye! I love having my new big sewing studio. I can just wander in and out at will without worrying about packing stuff up now. Can even have several machine set up at once now :) vivz2 - 2014-09-22 13:10:00 |
46958 | Gidday folks. Hope you are all well...and as happy as I am. I was at skippie's place one night and she had ordered some fabric from the US ofA. I looked at what was on offer...and my package arrived today. Forty fat quarters of Malka Dubrawsky's fabrics and two Zen Chic charm packs...$133.15 New Zealand dollars. Not bad eh? Each of the fat quarters is different...all just gorgeous. I'd hate to think what it would have cost from here... jumbobon - 2014-09-24 19:59:00 |

Went to Spotlight today and managed to spend $75 on Christmas fabrics. Did I ever mention I have a thing for Christmas fabrics? Am making table runners for Christmas gifts this year so I need to increase my stash. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for Cuppa Dilli .....and it's nice to see you again Jumbo barbrose - 2014-09-26 22:14:00 |

46971 | Anyone browsed Pinterest lately? Some wonderful quilts on there. I'm off to the Wellington quilters annual expo this weekend. Tried to convince the other half to go over to Carterton for their big expo (complete with many stalls) but no go (think he worked out it might of involved spending money). If the weather was sunny would of made a nice ride on the bike vivz2 - 2014-09-27 11:53:00 |

46983 | Love the sewing room Barb. Well I went into Welly yesterday to take daughter home and thought I'd pop into the quilt show but they didn't take eftpos and it was too dam cold and wet to be running around the harbour looking for ATM so didnt bother vivz2 - 2014-09-29 15:27:00 |
46984 | What a shame about the show Viv. Fancy them not having eftpos. Had the electrician here today sorting out power points in the sewing room. But while he was here I remember badly placed ones in my bedroom and Mums room so asked him to sort those out and then we decided to put wall lights up above the sewing machines, - and then I remembered the sensor lights outside are not turning off and a couple of other things as well......he was here from 9am till 5pm and has to come back tomorrow for an hour! He brought an apprentice back this afternoon - he spent most of the time under the house drilling holes. Nice young men but I hate to think what the bill might be. barbrose - 2014-09-29 22:30:00 |
46985 | Morning all, Viv just think of all the money you saved now you can wait till spotlight have a sell and spend it there. dilligaf_dah - 2014-09-30 08:20:00 |
46986 | Sorry barb...haven't taken shots yet...bit slack I know but will try and get my a into g tomorrow. jumbobon - 2014-09-30 22:53:00 |

46989 | Morning ladies. Got the border onto my Japanese quilt yesterday so thats four quilt tops backed up for finishing now. I have the backing fabrics but want to put decent batting into them so will be one pay at a time. vivz2 - 2014-10-02 10:05:00 |

46991 | Good morning, rise and shine ???? barbrose - 2014-10-03 07:37:00 |
46992 | Barb I went as Snow White to one fancy dress. Borrowed a ballgown from my daughter, made a simple black cape with red hearts on it. Picked up a cheap wig from Toyworld and carried round a garden gnome as my dwarf. It was a great ball dress...purple with flounces and also made a great dracula frock too. Alas the dress has since 'shrunk' lol! vivz2 - 2014-10-03 10:03:00 |
46993 | Who is still awake.? skippie1 - 2014-10-05 02:16:00 |
46994 | Lol I was skippie sorting out more fabric to list. Hope you did get some sleep after that though. I went ot bed at 5am and up again at 7. so got a couple of hrs sleep. Stewing apples at the moment. Gave sewing lesson this morning, and how to use the machine to its best. Jugs on for drinks. help yourself. Roast chicken for dinna plenty for all. Have a nice day all dilligaf_dah - 2014-10-05 15:50:00 |
46995 | Good mnight ending - so pleased the wind has dropped today as I have to drive to Palm Nth this morning. I would have been quite scared driving if it was like yesterday. barbrose - 2014-10-07 08:01:00 |
46996 | Oh Barb sounds like you had a wonderful time at the show. You,ll just have to say the winds from the storme blew them into your sewing room eh hehehehheeeeee...... Hope you have a nice time in PN Nice day here today too. Have a great evening all. dilligaf_dah - 2014-10-07 17:46:00 |
46997 | The sun is shining and the wind has died down - yay. I am at work this morning (with nothing to do) and my sewing room is calling. I have been asked to make a cushion for a Christmas stocking raffle - not sure whether to make it a Christmas theme or just something I like. I bought some Fliplak templates at the Quilt show in Hamilton recently and might have a play with them - can't remember how they work now but I was pretty impressed at the time. barbrose - 2014-10-09 10:40:00 |
46998 | barb do a cushion that you would like it is more useful all year round. I must google fliplak templates and see what they are. Umm interesting similar to the ones I was using for the Irish Dancing Dresses. and I didn't know they had a name. heheheheheheeeee Hope you have lots of fun with them. Ham and egg pies going in the oven soon. Plenty for all. dilligaf_dah - 2014-10-09 13:17:00 |
