It's our job to keep these people in business!!

I was at the knitting and stitching show here in Dublin last week and ended up buying about 20 fat quarters (just cos they were nice ), two new rulers, rotary blades, rat-tail cording and other embellishing threads and other things I can't even remember now. Did I need any of these things? No, just a new rotary blade. You just can't go to these shows without buying stuff Rosemary.

I can always find an excuse to buy more....

Too funny, Rosemary.

My quilting buddy and I tried that...we used to tell each other that we had to finish at least one item of all the projects, fabrics, patterns we bought the year before either at Houston or at the Quilt Shop Hop.

We weren't always successful and still managed to buy more...

Actually I am now looking forward to The Knitting & Stitching Show at Harrogate at the end of this month, and I think I need to be strict with myself and say 'If you don't make up any of your lengths of clothing fabric, you cannot buy any more - 'cos there is just not the space for it! Final!'

Need motivation? Go to Houston in 2013!

not in this house it isn't! pidgeons cooing, is a sign for DH to get his air rifle out, hopefully for ingredients for a pie

Oh, please don't change! We could all use a little educating. Hmmm...do your kids know that is the definition of coo?

I love trying to guess at the translation of your posts, Wendy! Please don't change to "plain" English!

Nancy

Coo is just a muttering noise my kids make when pleased and chooks are chickens. I'll try and stick to plain english

I just googled coo and it says - 1. Coo (Verb) - A complete state of relaxation and tranquility often aided by the use of marijuana :shock: :shock:

Wendy--some translation is needed for us across the pond: coo? chooks?

Coo thanks some funky chooks there

Hey Wendy, I've just found another design to go onto your list of quilts to make http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/other/funky-chickens/21451?ext=NL20121104Q11

Marilyn--I love that wool quilt--it is stunning!
