Hi l love your frames please could l ask where you got your letters from please as l would love to have a go a something like this (hope you don't mind me using your idea )

Of course I don't mind - I bought my letters from a seller on Ebay, if you want I could dig out the details and pm you

Kit if you go to carboots look for them there or even scrabble games in charity shops they might be cheaper than eblay.

I do love the frames you've made ziggy they look great and are really popular at the mo.

They look like wooden scrabble tiles. I bought a set years ago on eBay. I think now you can buy them either by the full set - or by the letter ok some sites. Or look for an old scrabble board and use those?

No makes from me to declare - Tuesday is my late night at work so I'm usually happy just to survive the evening. Haha

I have plans for tonight - copying a pattern and redrafting as needed.

Need to put the wadding and backing on now then bind the edges and do all the hand quilting of the individual squares.

Thank you ziggy2407 and Mrs Moneypenny l will have to have a look at ebay and carboot sales and see if l can get some.

Mrs Moneypenny The quilt is fab wish my sewing skills were better - l only learnt to use me sewing machine at the end of last year so a way to go yet.

Not many makes for me but l have made 2 more squares for my crochet blanket so think l should add them to my total.

Am trying to decide where to buy a silhouette cutter (l know we are using up our stack) as l enjoyed the workshops l did using pallets to make signs but l need to look into this more so that l don't waste my money. Just hope l don't need to buy lots of things to use alongside it.

Another quick update

16 more basic cards

https://www.facebook.com/christine.lockley.3/posts/10208320052896000


Lots of scraps used and now have a big dish of shapes - stars, elephants, birds, hearts, butterflies - all punched from scarps of paper and used coloured envelopes so that has made quite a bit of space in one drawer. Whilst sorting have discovered that I have over 200 card blanks

I need to pick a new target too.

Keep up the great work everyone, night x
