I love the idea of these embroidered blocks used in a quilt. Does the machine embroidery thread withstand washing? I'm only interested - have no capability to embark on this road >g< . In message , Granny Waetherwax writes

I've got my own Greebo. Only we call him Our Tom.

:) I love it here....Pratchett fans all over the place:)

I often fear I'm a Rincewind sort of quilter. Always running away from the quilting while nobody's looking. And yes, I'm a Pratchett fan, as are both my boys. I may have made some mistakes but in the things that count I raised them totally right.

Sigh........I always are thinking to make this.....and that.......and put it off. Then in a moment of dispare I lock myself in my room and start working weeks and weeks and stop just before it is finished and then it waits ....and waits..........:)

:)) My daughter would not read, when I said 'read a book' she replied ' I already do, in school'....after years and years I gave up.

Then she saw the first movie of Lord of the Rings and the wonder occured, she started to read so I slipped her a copy of the first Pratchett and a new pratchett junky was born:)

And trust me, we mothers are never right........until they have children of their own:)

I think my quilting follows the path of the Bursar...

Dried frog pills, anyone?

Hahahaha..I just wrote a design on a card to embroider a frog..mayby I should eat it or kiss it:))

:)) Okay........searching for butter and garlic now....:)

Do not kiss it! You know what happens when you kiss frogs... Go with the French on this one...

The cost of threads is the major expense when machine embroidering. I am finding quickly that bidding on ebay for various thread packages is the way to go for me. I have found a couple sellers that have high quality threads and if I watch the bidding I have been able to pick up some large lots of thread for very little money. julia

I have seen those too, but are not for me, with post & package and taxes at the border I pay more alas.......

I'm now looking at wholesale prices and how much I have to take of their hands:)
