In the wardrobe / Re: Wardrobe switchover time?
« on: Yesterday at 12:54:43 »
It was 20c and sunny here on Saturday....ditto yesterday. Today it's 6.5c rain  and blowing a gale. No wonder we get confused  :faints:

I wear the same clothes all year round.Jeggins, cotton socks,ballet pumps, and jumpers/ tops (elbow length / long sleeves ...bingo wings alert! :scream: ) I have less than a dozen tops and half a dozen jumpers so I pick what's appropriate for the weather that day.
I have a small wardrobe and 2 drawers and all my clothes fit in easily.......you know me...nothing surplus to requirements  :laughing:

@CAFCgirl and @So Chic don't be intimidated or feel put down by the "Chav"" Chatham " connotations. As a dyed in the wool "Essex Girl" I own it and am proud at what a council house girl from Dagenham has achieved  :thumb:

My Brother machine doesn't need much cleaning and I  certainly never use oil anywhere near it.

Making progress with my quilt

If it is to be a hated by me wallhanging it doesn't need to be densely quilted.
Support the quilt all round and use a walking foot as Iminei says.

What a shame @Bjay  :hug:D
I'll be making inroads into my offcut pile to make some of the final 10 blocks for my quilt.
Must work out which colours / tones need boosting  ::thinks::
