Hellllooooooo ... is anybody out there?????
-
At 7:43 am I was still waking up! and Low is in Colchester. Dunno about anyone else.
-
I'm here. Snatching an odd 20 minutes here and there to stitch a bit of the binding on my Project Linus quilt. Not far to go now, only one more corner to mitre. We're going away for a week so you won't get to see it until we get back.
-
Still beavering away finishing all my UFO’s so that I can start something new. Need to catchup on the BOM’s too but I’m still here.
-
I'm around, still recovering from the weekend. Have to get round to cutting out for DGS2's quilt.
-
I'm hoping to get to some potholders later today or tomorrow; sort of micro quilts. I've also been doing some major c****ing (shhh) around here and have found, in various parts of the house no less 3 or 4 quilt batts. At least one is queen size, plus a roll mind you of poly-batting. And several lengths of fabric that could be backs. I guess I've no more excuses not to use the quilt tops that are finished.
-
I'm still here but have my charity hat on atm. I've been turning my practice blocks into mini-quilts for preemie babies, and currently I'm sewing drain bags for ladies who've had mastectomies. <3
And also the weather's been so good I've had to grab the opportunity to do a bit of weeding :angel: whilst being supervised by the :meow:.
-
I've completed the piecing for my By the Sea quilt, but I had to put it away because we had guests at the weekend. I now have to add the borders and make the sandwich. :o

At the moment I'm busy knitting gender neutral baby clothes, at least I think they are gender neutral but DH insists they are 'a bit girly' so perhaps I'm trying to send a subliminal message to DD.
I have most of my fabrics and a plan for Project Linus but am waiting for DH to b****r off for a couple of days before I start sewing, hopefully next week.
I have just completed a ginormous bean bag for DS. The beans to fill it cost £35 and it could really do with a few more but he can sort that out. :S

Phew!!!
I thought it was just me (and Low ... but now even shes not here, as shes Cinderellaing for her XDIL) in here.
I know I havent been very here either as Im trying to get a march on with the village ... Which I think Im achieving ....

Entries have to be in by the end of May and I wanted to know there was an end in sight!

Just back from holiday for husband’s 60th. ( How did that happen? - met him when he was 20!) We had a lovely holiday house in Angus and various members of the family came and stayed for a few days. We were so lucky with the weather! Home now for the foreseeable future, so will get round to posting PL quilt soon.

I'm here, for all the use I am, but I've been wandering around the light side and I don't understand any of it. Here we use little trinkets and bijoux of fat quarters. Over there you have to have great yoinks of stuff that barely fit on the washing line. Ask me how I know... :[ And as for patterns.... ><
I like the Greengrocer's shop Imi. <3

ps @Sheilago my ex turned 50 last Summer. I was in bits. :o I am a good bit older than he and the fact that my baby boy was that age was awful. He'd just turned 21 when I met him. :loveit:
Daft old bat! Serves me right for cradle snatching! 0_0
pps did you know that when you edit a post, you can't tag a person in it?

It depends on how you do it!
If you use the pencil icon at the bottom of the post you get a 'quick edit' function, so not everything is available. If you click on the green 'actions' button and choose 'modify' you get a full edit, and you can add tags.

Ha! Thanks @Acorn.
It's a very sad day that you don't learn something.

I've just finished my Jacobs' Ladder quilt.....and hate it, especially the binding which was sewn on and ripped off twice with the third attempt not showing any real improvement...yeuk....so last Sunday I bundled it into the car and drove to a family dinner determined to foist it onto one of my children so as not to come home with it: and I didn't! :devil:
I've just started dabbling with some spare fabric and thinking about having a go at Ims' Twist and Twirl (black jobby). I've got one last couch in the house that needs a throw quilt. I've even spied some rather nice muddy blue batik on my shelf that might do a nice contrast feature like Ims' red.
-
God! I would've loved that quilt!!! No wonder you didn't come home with it!
-
@rubywishes That quilt is gorgeous. Can't believe you wanted rid.
-
I love the quilt as well. I want one! <3
-
I'm here lurking, not quilting - no time - up to eyes in frills.
-
That quilt is gorgeous. I thought you couldn’t possibly be talking about that one and had to google ‘Jacobs ladder quilt’ to check. Whoever got it is very lucky!

Nah, I never really felt the love for it while I was making it and I think that comes through in the finish I've done....particularly the binding. I was just interested initially in doing something traditional. But, done it now so I can tick that off my bucket list and move on. Glad it's gone to DD....it'll get used as a play rug by the GCs' and that's pleasing....at least it will get used. If I had kept it it would've ended up in a cupboard or the caravan!
