The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I am playing with my sewing machine and making a pigs ear of it. I have never done free quilting before....


I think I need some more practise.

Morning all fellow retirees, it is sunny and the forecast is bright all day. The dog will be walked soon across the fields with a stop at the cafe for tea and bacon sandwiches. The a bike ride to keep the legs going and maybe a pint or two in the Mitre on the way home.

You spoil that dog, bacon sarnies.

All present and correct but I think my stitch length was too short. I need to make it longer.

Did a nice little 28 mile pootle/bimble this morning, and when right past the Mitre, tempted to stop but I wanted to whiz down Barnet Hill to see if I could beat my best speed, no luck though!

On my FB yesterday, someone asked the question 'what's the difference between a pootle and bimble?. I think the conclusion was that it's the same!

TBH I was about to pull you up on that. I am no expert but I would think you can have a pootle OR a bimble. I think its greedy and wrong to have both.
Before I found CC I had not heard of iether, we would go for a 'tootle'.
