Snowy Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Lesley has been having computer problems. She should be back online in the next day or so and ready to sort out our swaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks Snowy - yes, we've had computer problems followed by problems with our electrics......which upset our computer network...... I'm back now and will add newcomers to the list and I need addresses from quite a few people.........as soon as I have addresses I'll get Carl to do the draw and PM you all with addresses. I think I said in the first post that posting date will be 20th February - that gives those of us who have yet to make a start ( ) another two weekends. I'll try to get round to PMing those whose address I still need, as long as the electrics don't trip again........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 These are the names I have - if I've missed anyone off, please shout quickly....... I need one more address and have PMd that person, as soon as I have all addresses I'll let you all know who you're making for........ Lesley Plum Craftyhunnypie Loumabel Snowy - I already have your address.

bluekarin Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've cut out squares about 2 inches square in size, joined together with bonding stuff (iron on) and then cut it down to an inch in size. I had a real problem cutting fabric on its own to a square 1 inch square Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 One of mine was extremely, supremely fiddly....................why did I try that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I did a roughly 5" square, then cut it to 4 x 1 1/4" squares. So mine are a fraction bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Why, Snowy you rebel I keep changing my mind ....how unusual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple hen Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I agree tis very fiddly but totally addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Now, I've completely fluffed up. I've made 4, but as a set of 4, can I bear to split them up, or do I just make some more...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 - that sounds like me - I've made 8 but kept wailing "I can't give this one away" all afternoon I'm not using fabric so it was a bit more tricky than just cutting them out - fun though. I'm using my oversizes to make cards and gift tags Like GL, I don't think my eyes will ever recover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Palmer Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Why have inches never looked so small on a ruler??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I thought that too. Doing inch squares is really hard to stick to! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm afraid some of mine are going to be a little bit over size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Right, I've made the bits, now all I need to do is assemble them and work out if/how to present them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Assemble what do you mean. You've made something that's going to end up an inch big and you assemble it magnifying glass in the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Can't say too much or it will be obvious to whoever the lucky recipient is that I made it. I did say my eyes will never recover... But I am feeling quite pleased now. Or should that be relieved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Golly mine aren't that intricate - I couldn't see to add anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
