I knew this would happen

 Seriously Sharon (yes I am talking to myself)
 you didn't really think that you would go out to buy some pins 
(yes mine have still not shown up) and only buy pins did you?


So my little trip this afternoon to replace my pins has resulted in two new rulers

a 6" x 24" - How I have not had one before now is beyond me
and a 26" long 10deg wedge ruler (I have plans for this one)
and of course 16pc of fabric for my FLiQS Partners Mini Quilt.

Oh, and I might have just expressed an interest in this BOM whilst at my LQS :o)

"LANCASTER"


Lancaster

"Expensive pins"

oh and I still have to make a new pincushion!

hugs, Sharon

  3. I find when I am looking for something i can't find it, but I always see stuff when i'm not looking! I'm sure that's how the shopping fairies work!

  9. So glad that pins actually made it into the shopping basket! I have been known to make a trip for something small like pins, buy $$$ of unplanned stuff - then come home without the "pins"- very embarrassing :) the BOM looks lovely in pink with all those scallops.

  10. Oh you are too funny! I'm glad though that I sm not alone in this sort of thing. My 1/4" foot went missing and I looked everywhere and blamed the kids and in the end went and bought a new one...only to find that I had packed up the orginial one with a U.F.O. and found it months later. Now I no longer blame my kids...
