Not telling
For a similarly 'secret gender' baby, I made a quilt using the pieced
alphabet blocks of Carol Doak (in her book that I could look up if you
needed me to - I know roughly where it is g). I made...

quilt binding

Ouch! I bet that hurt, Polly. Sandy is right: get something else to
hold close to the needle. I actually got 'That Purple Thang' (remember
those?), and if ever I do get close, I use that.

I can't tell whether you are in the UK or the US?
However, I get all my information by Googling with the words Classic car
hire, or sports car hire. There are several in the UK; and it is

Absolutely!
I have now driven a Morgan, an Aston Martin, a Ferrari and soon the
Jaguar E-type I hope!

Yes, when I saw the price, I thought I'd wait for my birthday and buy it
for myself! Mind you, for the same birthday, I am seriously considering
hiring a Jaguar E-type coupé for the day!! Which...

Wow! I have a Janome 6500, and have the special FM bobbin case (which

I have done it, Polly. I found it most successful going in fairly

I, too, love mine. I often see things I hadn't spotted before -some
words are hidden so well! Whatever is happening right now, this group

Thanks to SandyE for finding 'the' joke!
Oh yes! Thanks Sandy
I love this one. I knew it was something to do with all his feet, but I
couldn't remember it.
So great ... definitely one of the traditional RCTQ jokes!
