Hi all, have enjoyed browsing for a year or so, tonight I felt
compelled to join in. I was gobsmacked by Justok re shelf
liners. I found this tickled me no end, as a rug retailer, we sell
Rug Grip to hold rugs to smooth surface floors. With this sitting
right under my nose, I never thought to put it to good use in my
sewing room. guess who's machine foot walks a mile.
So sick of stretching my leg. how low down in the chair do you
have to get. lol. Will be trying it soon as. I have been a quilter
for about 10 yrs, but sewed forever. ( not the greatest, just
enjoy sewing ) have just completed 2 quilts for 17mth twin nephews,
were visiting from UK and was able to send them back with a
slice of N.Z. hope you enjoy one of our kiwi icons.
Am now embarking on a lovely applique quilt, designed by
a local quilter. so in love with applique. bought pattern about a year ago. been trying to pluck up courage to start. photo is of
one of 3 different blocks of applique. plus 9 pieced blocks. will be a wall hanging for our bedroom all going well. will keep you
posted with progress. I live in a small town, 1hr30 from our
capital city Wellington. We enjoy a rural lifestyle 6 mins drive
from town. I work with my husband in our business. which sells
imported rugs, we also run a factory overlocking carpet offcuts
and making carpet squares. Hubby does 90% of the overlocking. Don't think he will take up quilting though. Is an
avid golfer. which means I can be an avid quilter. lol. we have
2 sons. one recently moved back home. 26 yrs. I know I know.
He did actually spend 6 months in America last year. was
crop harvesting in Artesia, New Mexico. enjoyed the experience
but opted to stay here this season. Hope I haven't bored you all. Just so excited about chatting at last. look forward to hearing from you.
