    I can't find the right color gold metallic fabric I need for my project. I have been to 3 shops with no luck. I did see something that might work on an Etsy shop, but I'd much rather see the fabric in person. I'm making the quilt pattern, Santa in the Trees. The gold fabric will be used for the tree trunks.

    I am hooked on making the clam up bags with Kaffe fabric.

    Toverly are the clam up bags the pattern By Annie? The pattern is on sale today at Quilt in a Day with free shipping. I have it in my cart to buy. I hope it is the same.

    My helpers were a bit ruthless in deciding what I did and did not need anymore. I was too out of it at the time to do proper supervision.

    Waah waaah waah
    Where do I start?
    Moving is traumatic in itself!
    I’ve moved and didn’t do packing. The reasoning for putting hot pads in fabric box alludes me. Agreed, you can’t find …….. fill in the blank.
    I’ve moved and did do the packing….. still can’t find what I need.
    Smashed body part………. HELP! And there’s no one willing to put in the time/effort/compassion.
    ‘Ruthless helpers’….. That was me. I must live with myself. But sometimes I want to cry or do something self destructive.

    whah whah whah sounds to easy.

    He’s in a new huff.
    ‘He keeps trying to help by being a third wheel. Third wheel can’t explain. The second wheel explained it once and doesn’t want to play the same tune again. So the first wheel is stuck with 2 wheels happy with each other but no wheel willing/able to balance the bike.

    you bet! I don’t appreciate him!
