[stmichaelrules]

'8 fat quarters' ???????????

...do you give them B&B 😮

...put them on a diet 😮

... or eat them 😮

[****merlin*****]

:^O

yes the binding is the "string bit"

fat quarters are a measured piece of material

a quarter of a yard

thanks merlin... so why are they 'fat' 😮

...or is that one question too too many??

[****merlin*****]

a yard is 36 x 44

a fat quarter is cut, 18 x 22

instead of in "strips"

afternoon  ladies,  its been a bit damp today. mainly everytime i have to go out 😞

not tackled the i***ing yet, had a visitor 😐

[huggles1253]

Just an update on my Mother (who Merlin wants to adopt). She's 82 in November.

Earlier today she asked me to send eldest son down to her to collect something.

Apparently everyone else's children have been turning up at the sheltered housing she lives in with tomatos.

Mine are still green.

It was a cheque for £500 & a note saying 'Buy Greenhouse'.

😐

[ilove2patch]

I think your mum is a star! :^O

I am staying hoime tomorrow while the family go out for the day. I will dog sit! 😄

[borzoi369]

How lovely Huggles 🙂

Unless it's because she feels left out at not getting red tomatoes taken to her ]:) :^O

What strange fruit pics and that poor apple will have to stay there until it dies or is cut out 😞

[****merlin*****]

:^O @ Huggles mummy

method in her madness

she wants tomatoes, and also knows Huggles is the one who will make chutneys & relish with them!

what a really lovely thing for her to do Huggles

very thoughtful

its been heavy rain all night but it stopped half an hour ago, its now brilliant sunshine, we dont stand a chance of dressing for the weather here!

[huggles1253]

Now I need advice on greenhouses. 😐

[****merlin*****]
