THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

Had enough going to bed now, no emails, keep getting kicked off internet. Will come back tomorrow.

[ed_blackadder_1]

We dont normally have any problems with them this evening is the first time.  We loose internet but that is because we are on an antiquated system in the village,

[bitsnknots]

Hope that you get your Internet sorted soon Ed.  When I was with Sky, they were more trouble than they were worth.  It took 3 weeks for me to get a router.  On one of the many times I chased it up, I was told that they'd sent a router out, I had returned it because it was faulty and they'd sent another one and the status on the 'second' one was marked as 'failed delivery'.  As they hadn't sent one router out faulty or otherwise, they wondered why I said that they were being economical with the truth.  At least one of us was in whilst we waited for the router to be delivered.  At times, the router I finally received was more trouble than it was worth.  We are now with Virgin Media and I've had no problems.

oh it's gone quiet on here lately.....I'm on me lonesome...

I'm a bit bored to tell the truth, I don't know what to sew, run out of ideas really.

OH is off now for 4 days, I think I'll see if I can scrounge another day out. Car has to go in for work tomorrow so no chance then.

If you have a sewing machine you could try these.

Morning all.

You're right CB, it is quiet on here at the moment isn't it?

The weather doesn't seem too bad here at the moment.  Off out to lunch today with my mum and a couple of friends of hers.  We're going to a pub about a mile away and you can get two main meals for £9 which isn't bad and the food's good.

Morning , its dry here atm shh dont speak to soon LOL

Buying a newer car is making lots of form filling  & trips to the post office , now i remember why i kept my old one so long 😞  It will be worth it though as i love my new car 🙂

Also trying to find some fabric in a certain shade for my expected grandson's quilt .   I have made my heart for the swap so thats one item off my list 🙂

Lovely sunny day here. The lull before the return of the storms I fear. So nice to see it shine & the sea smooth once again. I will go up to Portland later to Textile group & pop into Tesco for supplies & then batten down the hatches for the weekend.

Still waiting for the photos Maggie,

Lovely morning here, dry yes I said dry, cold breeze though.  Going to try to dry some washing, fingers crossed.

[ilove2patch]

Here they are then. The two bags I made at the sewing retreat.

This one is oatmeal linen & cotton with two pockets.

This one is a bigger tote bag with pockets made from Bali Batik fabrics.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Oh Maggie they are gorgeous, I love the top one,  is it for sale? or would you take an order?

[twishy123]

Smashing Maggie ...I also like the top one bestest...Will you be doing one for the next MDCC?

*crosses fingers hopefully*

[ilove2patch]

Sorry not for sale as they are very time consuming to make as well as the fabric being costly. Glad you like them. 

[ed_blackadder_1]

*starts to cry*   shame, never mind you enjoy them, I understand.

[twishy123]

Ed.....

*whispers* tell her we've got wine....Maggie's is a dry house at the moment....if we get her sozzled she won't remember saying that she'd make us one each...and then we can tell her she did and then she'll feel guilty and make them and then...

oooerrr Hello Maggie...I thought you'd gone 

[ilove2patch]

[ed_blackadder_1]

[twishy123]

[ed_blackadder_1]

Twishy it is ok, I did get a gorgeous one from Dairy on the MDCC so technically I don't really need it, but it was so lovely.
