Omg I'm so excited scared and can not wait to start driving...
My mind is a blur and I think I need a day to prepare . So much stuff to think about .. so today will be the start .. I've done the blocks. Thought about the make it bake it fake it .. need meeeee time..XXL see yah all soon ..
Diddles 😆😆😆
oh dear...I think I will be begging & borrowing stuff on this list...excuse my ignorance, but what the hell is an 1" elongated/honeycomb template???... looks like some hand sewing is being done...applique maybe??..oh dear.., by hand,,,double "oh dear"
Diddles the only thing t you should be worried about is the Pilliga Yowie.......
Jewells if you brought nothing on this list you will also survive....... Do not worry about the template......
Oh so excited, blocks done, fake it might be my option, home after 5 days in Sydney I’ve got 3 days before I have 14 houseguests for 5 days and the 2 days before I leave, I can’t wait!!!
Diddles, can’t wait to hug you. Jewells we have it all covered!!! You’ll be fine! Handsitiching involved, slow and steady you’ll manage!
Jewell's I was asking the same thing - what's an elongated... and then my hubby piped up and said "wouldn't that just be a stretched out hexagon looking thing?". He definitely deserves some brownie points!
One quick question here - what size "circles" -
Diane , he certainly does
Jenny, laying in bed I can’t tell you right now but it’s in the small pack as that’s the only on I have.
I found the Crewel needle... but I going to need to "borrow or buy" a Milliners No 11 (and a couple of other things on that list) off someone please!
As we said Jewells there will be no issue borrowing stuff from me or Sonia...... No need to worry about it all at.......
Omg 5 sleeps......
