I just couldn't buy from abroad, my hand just wouldn't press the keys 
But.... the colours look lovely and I hope you enjoy stroking them for a bit Syrinx

Ha,ha, I knew you'd be impressed at my specialist ruler, but you need it as there are lots of hsts in the pattern I'm doing and they are mixed with other things so sizing is crucial ... pics to follow

I love Hunter's Star, but it looks even more interesting with the additions

Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / Re: What do you do with your quilts?
« on: July 31, 2017, 19:22:41 PM »
I made a quilt for each of my 4 Granddaughters ( 16,12,10,9 ) and apart from the eldest one in whose room the quilt is folded on the back of a chair, I have never seen any of the others again. Even when I was looking after them and cleaned / tidied the house I never saw hide nor hair of them...... perhaps they ate them
My dil ( their mother and separated from my son ) made it clear that if it doesn't come from Next or IKEA she won't give it houseroom Still, each to their own, at least she let me know before I wasted time and money.
My best friend said the same "don't ever give me anything homemade " but "I'll have one for the dog"
So, my mountain will just grow higher, unless I get good enough to donate to Linus ( I have one ready to go
)
I'm just interested in how you all house so many.....

Thanks so much Fran, hope things are calmer for you now. I had been wondering about the Geisha Girls

Thanks Syrinx, but I won't buy from abroad on principle.
I managed to get a rather nice Batik Jelly roll as well as a 45 / 90 degree ruler st The Sewing studio this afternoon. Not exactly what I wanted but I was impatient to begin

Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / Sorry, me again! Can you mix Batiks and Quilting Cotton
« on: July 31, 2017, 17:16:09 PM »
Title says it all really. I want to make a quilt with batiks but was hoping to use quilting cotton for the sashing and border. Would this be a good idea?
Supplementary question.. I have some bobbins already wound with Aurofill. I've run out of top thread. Can I thread the needle with Guttermans and still use the prepared bobbins?
Thank you sage ladies

People always want "a bargain" or "something for nothing" Mine are not good enough to sell or raffle anyway
I make, because I enjoy it... but, it seems a shame that the finished items never see the light of day again
