Fantastic fabric shop in Invers is shutting. Is it silly to do a 6hr road trip to get a bargin that I don't really need??

twinkley1 - 2018-01-03 20:31:00

But but but you may need it down theline a bit. heheheheee

dilligaf_dah - 2018-01-06 18:06:00

twinkley1 - 2018-01-06 18:20:00

Yes its nearly Christmas again been doing some christmas sewing, trying my hand at stippling. You may have seen my thread I started.

Hope all the oldies ( I don't mean old in age I mean the other people) from this thread are all doing ok. Hi to all

shell156 - 2018-12-03 20:24:00

Where are all the patchworkers? I loved this thread and seeing what everyone was doing. There were quite a few regulars but they have disappeared. Please come back. Merry Christmas everyone and happy stitching in the new year.????

ffloss - 2018-12-06 15:44:00

Welcome back. Me is destashing my stash at the moment as we are looking at moving to Rotorua, so all my stash can not come. It is so hard to declutter the fabric, laces etc. Still sewing and knitting here. Hope everyone has a great xmas. CHEERS from me.

dilligaf_dah - 2018-12-07 08:41:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL. Make 2019 a year of fun with sewing. All the best for 2019 from Hamilton

dilligaf_dah - 2019-01-05 14:30:00

Let's get lots sewing done this year.
Started shift dress for a wedding, shopped in my stash. Where has all the nice fabric gone?.
Made pencil skirt and jacket for DIL who returns to work in Feb.
While in my stash came across a nice piece of dupino silk. Thinking of making a Jean's style jacket so it is more casual, might get some wear out if it that way.

mica3 - 2019-01-05 14:35:00

I have destached my fabric finally. Got rid on bags and boxes (6 car loads - boot and back seats etc.filled them to the brim.) of them Now I can see the garage again and have spare bedroom. Next on the list will be the sewing room. That will be a bit harder as that's where all the good fabric is. Now for a coffee break. Hi to everyone.

dilligaf_dah - 2019-11-27 18:29:00

Well we are into 2020, haven’t been in here for years. I’m still quilting, including Long arm Quilting for others so life is busy. Still work out of the house starting this week just for two days per week. Im also still knitting and spinning so I’m never bored. I see dilli that you have de stashed, bet that was a job and a half. Hope you did keep some for crafting.

skippie1 - 2020-02-29 21:01:00

I miss this group. I am still doing patchwork and belong to our local group. I love it. You get so much inspiration from other people. I remember a lady, I think her name was Jumbodon or similar. She was awesome, so much fun and quite prolific with her patchwork. I wonder where all the posters are now.????

ffloss - 2020-02-29 22:13:00

I miss this group so much also. Often think of you all. SKippie I have destashed but still have heaps to keep me going. Find sewing at the machine quite painfull these days can manage about 30 - 45 minutes then have to let it go and ease the back and shoulder. Its the bending over the machine and sitting that get s me. But I have started knitting again also so can still keep myself busy. I am still stuck in Hamilton ffloss. Nice to catch up with some of you.

dilligaf_dah - 2020-03-15 22:01:00

Where have all the patch workers gone? I loved reading and seeing the beautiful work they were doing. Is this a dying craft? Hope not. Ladies please come back.????

ffloss - 2020-08-05 16:19:00

Ladies - where are you all?????

ffloss - 2020-08-10 15:45:00

Me is buzzzzyyy sewing masks at the moment.

dilligaf_dah - 2020-08-28 15:53:00

I have also made a few masks for the family as well as finishing a few things I forgot I had started.????

ffloss - 2020-08-28 17:29:00

Happy New Year to all Hope it will be a good one for you all. All the best CHEERS JEN

dilligaf_dah - 2021-01-10 19:24:00

dilligaf_dah - 2021-10-02 14:27:00
