I have dabbled with embroidery in my yoof.
Why!

I am about to attempt some.
Wookiee is rather negative about my chance of success, especially as my thread card was missing and there appears to be no burnt orange.
It looks impossible :(

I'm getting to grips with typing on a laptop.

You should see my instant messaging on this netbook...
I may as well just sit and honk like a goose instead of typing

I am making a book mark.

Go you!
I used to do lots of patchwork stuff.

Ooo, me too!
I once made Dutch-ex # 1 a patchwork quilt based on Escher's tessallated lizards. Now I never seem to have the time or inclination. I'm still intending to hem the living room curtains that I bought 5 years ago.

I did one based on Piet-Mondrian's Boogiewoogie Broadway.
I was on the dole when I did most of mine.

You should make one out of your knickers of Jeff Bridge's face
and send it to him.

If that doesn't get him to notice me then nothing will.

Woo!

yup
I'm claiming that since they commercialised everything 'alternative' the only real alternative is making stuff yourself. That, or we're a pair of 30ish women spending saturdays talking about wool

Oh, damn my old eyes, that's not what you said at all.

to be fair on B3TA there was more chance of it being felching
