I really want

Quiltinggran

I've been away all day lookng after two adorable GC while DS and DDiL had a few hours to themselves to celebrate their wedding anniversary in peace!!

But I've just seen I missed the tea party. Boo hoo! Count me in next time tho.

Jacey, as to quilting books, I would always prefer to look at them before I buy cos everyone's tastes are different but that said the Spectacular Quilts book is great and so is Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott (you don't have to use jelly rolls if you don't want to just strips two and a half inches wide).

I think apricot has got the right attitude...you could have spent it on carrots, loo rolls.....and add to that: car insurance, dental fees, Comfort, Febreeze, mouse traps, tapeworm tablets, garam masala, Sylk, rice cookers....etc. YES, you made the right decision!

Baggy, it's beautiful, and I'm sure it will look fabulous on. The sort of thing you can dress up and down and you'll always feel good.
Enjoy every minute of it

Pleased that you bought it bagitha - hope we get to see a pic of you wearing it. I once saw a beautiful, long velvet coat but I didn't buy it and have regretted it ever since. The number of times I've thought 'if only' ......

I'm obviously a bit late, but for sure you must have it and thoroughly enjoy it.

So glad you have ordered it. My criterion is ''if it's gone when I come back will I be really upset .'' Answer ''no'' don't buy it. Answer''Yes'' go ahead. Also our savings are going down in value, prices are going up, there couldn't be a better time to buy! Artgran,I do like your saying, mine is similar'' If you have a penny, buy a ha'penny loaf and a lily'' I often say this in a supermarket if I see someone wondering whether to buy flowers or not.

Re titles etc when you join a mailing list - when I was put on the Jo Malone list one of the options was "Brigadier" - tempting! One of the staff said they had all but "Princess" even the boys!

Bed all night night.

Night jingle I am going to have to change my options as trying to get to the bottom of 100 posts takes forever to post a message

Why are all the letters getting mixed up when i type them

should have said ah ha

Ahh jingle did DD have anything to do with the missing thermals

Bed for me now! (should have recorded that though) night night. x

It's the full monte on 4

Watching telly. Funny film on channel 4 about a 'superwoman' girlfriend. And then Casualty. Plus DD doing a fashion parade of the thermal underwear base layers she has purchased for her forthcoming trip to outer Norway.

Where have you been all night jingle,

'scuse me! I wasn't even there!

All those reports in the times?

Pardon?!

I think we ought to get commission from them. How about gn negotiating a discount with them. After all we are all ladies.
( well I wonder about jing on occasions?

Come on bags, my paintings are more than that but I see them all and every day .
Curiously they are all sea scenes. Tells you something about me!

shysal
Yes I agree, it's lovely. A little above my pay grade though.
Not quite my style either. If you look at the ones I like you'll find my tastes are classically boring?

£429!!!!!!!!!

It's got no buttons!

You'd better frame it and put it on the wall in a shaded position!

Thanks Q
Sounds a bit James bondish?

jeni you'll find lots of patchwork quilts on the net at all sorts of prices. Just be careful that you don't pay a high price for something that's mass produced! or badly made! It's probably better to look up your local area shops/quilters and try to see examples and talk to the quilter if you can. Do pm me if I can be of any further help.
