Yes - same here.  DPD drivers are lovely - and very efficient.  Amazon only seem to use UKMail for heavier items, thankfully.  Our Hermes courier is brilliant, too, as is our postman.  The Royal Mail is usually very reliable indeed.

I have just started getting Amazon packages via DPD and so far (touch wood) all has been fine.
We have a good Hermes chap for our area - hope he stays.

Lovely curtains, BrendaP.
Thanks, Bodge, I wondered about the thing on the wall as well.

Gorgeous jackets, you are clever.

I'm a bit late to this party but it reminded me of this:

 http://goodbyevalentino.com

She's managed to get herself a job as a Pfaff ambassador and so far I think she had her mits on two big embroidery machines for test driving and using designs on her clothes.

I have never had any desire to get involved with embroidery machines, but I love that scrollwork on the trousers.

I thought about Omnigrid rulers but I don't know what size(s) to get - and/or more plastic templates?

One side thought.
Omnigrid are not the only rulers - although they were the ones I started with as the shop that ran the beginners class I went to sold them.

Personally I find the markings on Creative Grids rulers easier to see

and the rulers can be used for far more things than just patchwork.

You obviously have your charity shops well trained, Barny.

I'm sorry but I was serious when I said I had binned it!!!

All of it, all the fabric, all the pieces in the proper bin too, with the  kitchen waste ... not just my thread catcher either!!!
A more sane and reasonable Imi would have saved it for embroidery practice or such, but this Im was a girl possessed

Well I guess the next one of us who announces that she has binned some blocks that went wrong (yes, FPP blocks I'm talking about you) will get a free pass now 

So do I.
