Gildius. As mags said, your link doesn't work but I think I saw the update by removing everything after hobbies/

Wow - that is stunning!! Well done on perservering with it.

My other question that i forgot to ask earlier - can anyone recommend a card I could stitch for my friend who has just announced she is having twins but we don't know what 'mixture' they are so can't stitch just blue or pink!! More aimed at when she actually has them later in the year.

Thanks

Emma

gildius - your Great Wall is looking great.

Brednall - I remember a chart in a magazine sometime ago now that was for twins. I'll find it out and let you see it. If it's any good you are welcome to it.

I have lots of old cotton curtains and bedding would it be good to experiment with these or would it be better to buy a jelly roll or the other one whos name I can't remember? No you haven't put me off lol will be using my machine.

This is where I wish all members of the cafe lived close by as I love showing people but explaining is more difficult
This is just my opinion start with something simple like the block of patches posted by moments. Charm packs are 5 inch squares in coordinating fabrics I've bought from this seller and been very happy with the service. http://http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MODA-Charm-Pack-Quilt-Blocks-/120925123655?_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D74%26meid%3D4963786233961246410%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D110953253568%26
If you do this you don't need the cutter mat and ruler immediately. Stitch the blocks with quarter inch seams, add wadding (same seller) and a plain backing. Then quilt by stitching "in the ditch" which is over the seams. This is what I would practice on some spare fabric first
Good luck. I'm sure you will love it

off topic.....

did anyon secure any bargains in the b00ts 75% off sale ?? and are you for or against peeps who buy silly amounts so they can then sell on ebay?

It's probably a recommendation in one of the forums here as being very :money: there is no excuse for rudeness but otherwise it doesn't bother me. But don't get me started on people who buy up tickets to gigs and festivals to sell on at inflated prices .......
