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

😛 ya missed me ner ner 😛

[bookworm26]

Yes, sort of, hiddengems. I have candles that are 3" x 6", pine cones, red berries and eucalyptus that can be dried. I thought that would make a few very nice Christmas pieces if I stuck them down onto a wooden base. Merlin suggested a glass dome to keep it safe which sounds like a good idea, but it may not be possible to get something that size in my price range.

Does that make sense?

[ilove2patch]

Morning all. Is careful not to miss anyone. Have you all got chatter-itis! lol

Search for 'Display Plinth' or 'Wooden Plinth' Bookworm. You might find something suitable.:-)

[bookworm26]

Hi Maggie. Thanks for that 🙂

I must say Im liking the cheese board option, would never have thought of that 😄

[hiddengems2010]

Cheese board sounds like a good idea or round wooden chopping board, same thing realy. 🙂

[hiddengems2010]

😮 slaps self

Morning Maggie :-x:-x

[bookworm26]

Ah ha! Some very interesting things in display base 😄

Got quite excited about a couple of them that had glass domes, then realized they were in America :O:-(

[learning2me]

Hard to explain what I'm making - will put pics on later. Wish we had smellyvision though 😉

[hiddengems2010]

Look forwards to seeing them learning, 🙂

I must get some work done, have a nice day everyone :-x

[chickengrandma-2008]

Just popped in for a second.  Sorry about my faux pas merlin.  I sort of group people in pairs on here with not really knowing them.  You and mrs R, maggie and mags, I always mix them up.  And anyway, it was very early, for me!;-)

Just a quick thought for bookworm, how about those 'rustic timber slices'? A sort of cross section of a small tree trunk, you sometimes see them with house numbers/names on them.  Got to go, byeeee:^O

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

:_|i notice my request of room & board was body swerved
:^O

[bookworm26]

Bye hiddengems

I think Id better get on too 😞

Thanks for all your help and suggestions :-x Ill let you know how I get on, and perhaps pop in for a chat if thats OK:-)

[ilove2patch]

You are welcome at any time Bookworm.:-D

Afternoon

Blimey you lot have been in natter mode this morning!!

Been out to my Grandma's this morning - do this every Tuesday. Is a mix of housework and nattering.

Called into habbie shop on the way home - have some felt that will do for GB men, seems the right shade of ginger does not exist anymore. My friend went to a habbie warehouse @ the weekend and they had none - nor is it listed in any of the catalogues 😞 Anyhow I have some that will do but my father will remain single & I'll start a new family.

Also bought some fabric for a dress/tunic for me - should have time next week in 1/2 term to do some serious making.

Lastly I've bought the most gorgeous singer sewing machine - in minature for my dolls house 🙂

Waves to Bookworm - welcome
Waves to everyone else (much easier than missing someone off).

[cat-knitter]

Have I missed you all 🙂 Hello to everyone anyway, lovely to see the thread nice & busy 😄

No Merlin it wasn't you telling me off 😛  I had a post removed on another thread.  Oops :|, I was only replying to Maggie ]:)

Merlin, got it thank you ......... will message you later :-x

[ilove2patch]

Glad you have joined the group KC. Looks like the invite thingy is working again now. Photo attachments still not working in the group though which is a pain! Do say hello I introduce yourself to 'the girls'.:-)

[**towery**]

hippy what shade do you want
 
i'll try looking in the craft shop on king street, see if they have any

[**towery**]

didnt have chance to call today, had a run of 6 shops 😐

so is that colour called anything?
is the a specific weight/thickness to felt?  - years since i bought any  lol

[*hippyfairy*]

It has no special name - it just looks like the colour of gingerbread men!! No idea of thickness - it will be the stuff they sell in 9" squares though.

Maggie - have had mail & voted. Think its down to ebay to sort this problem out. They messed up not members of the groups.

[ilove2patch]

Thanks Hippy. I will review the vote on the 31st October & go with the majority.:-D
