Nina wrote a new post, Bloggerati retreat – foot wear… (and a game of sort) 6 years, 6 months ago
Sewing at home is usually done alone and I for one, prefer sewing in comfy clothes (think track suit bottoms or comfy leggings) and some cosy slippers. Admittedly, I take off the left slipper when using the pedal, so…
-
Haha! I saw some of these! Left footed? Are you left handed too Nina?
-
Right handed and right footed (!!!), but rather ambidextrous, so prefer using left foot for the pedal.
-
-
Love it! I think I have tried sewing left footed, but like everything, it takes practise! I suppose as well that it seems more natural to use the right foot, due to the lead being on the right hand side of the machine, and also as the foot pedal is akin to the accelerator pedal in a car.
As for the footwear – I may or may not be able to identify a pair or two!!
-
I definitely know no 9. I just wore my flip flops (And odd socks) to dinner. #noshame
-
I know who wore 5 and 3, and mine were on my feet at dinner, but off whilst I was sewing, I’m a barefoot sewer!!
-
Love the pixie boots! I sew with my right foot. Is that unusual?
-
Maggie, I believe right foot is the usual!
-
-
I was there and I can’t guess any of them! I’m sure I did see numbers 3 and 9, but can’t remember whose feet they were on.

Some of you may have read some of my stories in the past, there were stand alone episodes about breaking an Olfa cutting mat, how to tackle a Moda Scrap Bag, a charity quilt that got taken to Kosovo on an Aid Convoy…

This is a lovely account Teresa. Textiles are everywhere, thank goodness!

Oh bless you, I love being the naughty one with my tongue placed very firmly in cheek! Quilting should be a joy not a competition!

exactly!

Great blog Teresa. Thank you for a fun read. Just thought I’d share a joke my 7 year old granddaughter told me yesterday. ‘Why can you never hear a pterosaur when he goes to the toilet?’. Because the ‘p’ is silent!!
-
Oh bless her! Not many 7 year olds know what a pterosaur is, this 60+ lady didn’t either… good old Wikipedia soon provided some insight about flying lizards!
-
I didn’t get it either!!

Nina wrote a new post, Idea for a non-traditional sampler quilt 6 years, 7 months ago
When I was first exposed to quilting, it was because some mums in an online group were doing it. They were all amazingly excellent at it and I started by (very badly) copying what they were doing. With their…

Haha…good question

There is no cure known to any avid quilter or their partner. Tell Christmas visitors you are doing panto and re-enacting the Princess and the Pea fairy story by making them climb onto a fabulous bed layered with quilts! I love your “Explore the Unknown” quilt for made for Quilts for Care Leavers … Fabulous by the way xxx

Thanks Teresa, I can’t imagine my 87 year old father in law climbing onto bed und

sorry pressed post too soon.
I was trying to say, climbing onto the bed without a ladder to help him get to the top!

Oy Ami, you and me both. I just love the whole process, from purchasing fabrics to handsewing the final binding stitch. I have a massive pile too. And it’s growing. What to do with them all is a constant question. I need to find my habit, but selling doesn’t seem an option. I have no answers …..
-
It’s so hard isn’t it Candy?!?!
I’ve now got a new website so that I can sell some of the stockpile because otherwise I just haven’t got anywhere left to store the completed quilts or the money to buy more fabrics….
