@jay_1965vw that gown is gorgeous! Now I have to bed the question. Do you want to go heirloom-y and have one just for Dot or are you after something more simple to “get the job done”. Do you want embroidery, smocking etc?

I would do a natural fibre, even though I am not really familiar with Queensland weather in September but I can imagine that…[Read more]

@needlewoman so glad you made it back on Fi! Yes I was one of those “lucky” people who got the message also. To me it was such an obvious “this is a hoax” type email. They are not very imaginative when it comes to things like this that is for sure.

Oh and @dubhels2003 of course you have friends! Just Kate Smith is NOT one of them😀 I feel sorry…[Read more]

Yeah, me too, dubhels. Aren’t some people ‘ordinary’? Luckily, we have each other on this forum to suss the fakers out. I did see Todd’s post about the scammer but my email was dated later, and I just wanted to be sure. Sorry that you ladies were ‘puzzled’ too. C’est la vie. On a happier note, I hope you all had a nice Mothers’ Day, last weekend.…[Read more]

late September is edging into spring, right? I’d say something that you could layer because you never know if it will be chilly or beautiful weather. maybe a Library dress or carousel in white flannel?

Hi, Rebecca

I found this site online – seems to fit your requirements:

Try these guys-

Give them a call- I’ve bought a metric ruler from them at the international quilt show, so I know they stock them, they just don’t have it on their website.

Shouldn’t the discussion topics relate to sewing?

Ditto for me, needlewoman. I also received email from someone who wanted to contact me for friendship.This person also claimed to have read my profile. Like you, I do not have a profile. I’m sure it’s the spam message Oliver + S referred to in the email.
dubhels2003 replied to the topic Spammer? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

There’s a message from oliver + s which probably appears above your post which talks about a spam message. I think it’s that one. For a moment I thought I had a friend 😉

I have received an unusual email from “Kate Smith” who claims to have read my profile (I don’t have one); and wants to ‘contact’ for friendship. Is this person the spammer? Can anyone on forum help? I don’t want to be rude if the email is legitimate.
Tamara replied to the topic News and Current Affairs in the forum off topic 9 years ago

@jay_1965vw that is good news! It will be nice to be home. It is a shame your overseas stay is hurting your hubby’s career though it is an experience your whole family will grow from – and Dot especially being born overseas, that is pretty special too. It isn’t an everyday thing so you are pretty fortunate to have the opportunity. Still, there is…[Read more]

Hello, to all those to whom metric is the norm! I’m going nuts trying to find a metric ruler for my pattern alterations. I’m exhausted of the conversion of fractions to decimals and back again, and I’d like to just find a lovely metric c-thru ruler.

However, I’m stumped as to where to find one. I’m hoping the lovely Oliver & S groupies that are…[Read more]

I made a baptism gown that Audrey and Josephine wore, but unfortunately it is a 3 month size, and Dorothy is not going to be baptised until visit Australia in September. She’s already about to grow out of the one her sisters wore (I’m thinking of taking photos in the next week, just so she has at least worn…[Read more]

Our big news is that we will be returning to Canberra in January next year. It will be cutting our US posting short by one year, but we’re ok with that. Being here is affecting DHs career detrimentally, as he is out of his category (not doing the specific job he is trained for).
We’ve started checking out the housing market in the ACT. It is…[Read more]
