@Gernella DH has one of these in his workshop and it awesome, unfortunately I don’t want to sew in there.

Our son bought it for him after he saw his dad struggling with the crappy light he had. DH has no idea how much it cost or the silly old b****r would never switch it on :facepalm:

Well that was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

Block of the Month 2020 / Re: May's BOM

Lots of judicious tweaking required but at least finished in the correct month.

Thanks @Vezelay , I never thought of Empress. Two cans on their way :D

Has anyone used the Crafters Companion spray adhesive?

I've just looked for 505 and I can't get it with my Cotton patch order so looked on Amazon and eBay and it was eye wateringly expensive. >:)

I tried them @Sheilago and was very impressed.

I bought some super king sized sheets with a low thread count and they will be absolutely fine for quilt backs.

I was also very impressed with the speed of delivery especially in these times.

I’m certain I’ll be shopping there again.

Block of the Month 2020 / Re: Aprils BOM

@Pearl , I’m really enjoying playing with the rulers  at the moment.

It’s very addictive.

This is an early practice piece, my stitch length is improving the more I do.

A Good Yarn / Re: Shawl I'm starting - with UK yarn :)

Beautiful beautiful work. The effort needed to produce that lace is mind boggling.

Well done.

Come on @Ploshkin , you can’t tell us you’ve bought fabric and not tell us what you’ve bought and what it’s for :D

Well I’m looking forward to it @Iminei !

I haven’t done April’s yet, but have just had some rather nice silvery grey background fabric delivered, which I hope will tie in with the two blocks I’ve already made.

I am planning a day this weekend to do April’s and May’s blocks and hopefully start a little QAYG now I’m getting used to my rulers.

@Kittensposies , lovely to see you and what a fab sweatshirt, definitely worth the wait.

In the wardrobe / Re: Top stitching thread for denim.
« on: April 17, 2020, 21:25:22 PM »
Well you were right @Sandra 968 is just the right colour.

I’ve used the upholstery weight rather than the topstitch thread and am really pleased. I’ve also used the triple straight stitch @sewmuchmore suggested and really like it once I lengthened it to 4.5.

Love a biker jacket, love purple.

That looks very, very nice.

I’ve always added photos as an attachment because I can’t work out how to add an image on my ipad.  I’ve always selected the small image option but if it’s going to be a problem I’ll just have to stop posting pics.
