Good morning friend!
Glad you stopped by...Here's how I spent my time since last seeing you...
I finally did it...done...kaput...over, Je suis fini!
When I want to do a project...I want to enjoy the "doing" of it. This project gave me less than that...inadequate is the word. I may be 74 but that doesn't mean I know how to quilt. My granddaughter thinks I can...(a few baby quilts makes Not, a seasoned quilter). But...I didn't want to disappoint her, so I said yes. I am my own worst enemy! lol
So, the struggle began. It took me about a month to finally finish it but with no one to help me but YouTube...I had to force myself to get it done...but I did it...finished. Sam picked it up and said "Thank you Gamma! I love it!"...that my friends, is why I did it...those words will make you walk over a pit of lit coals just to see them smile.
Now how did that candy get into my pin box? Do tell!
A million pins! I feel like a pincushion! lolol
I didn't flip any tables but...at times, I probably could have! Lolol
I needed to keep the girls yesterday...Sam's daycare texted on the morning of...that they would be closed...that very day...I guess no notice, is a thing nowadays...$632 a WEEK ...with no retro reimbursement. I wouldn't pay that but, it's a "specialized" academy (whatever that is). But, I digress...Lottie watched my YouTube video about a woman's stash. She watched for a solid 6 1/2 minutes! Impressive! Another seamstress perhaps? I really hope so...It was a dying art until lately. Seems more of the young are taking it up again! Good for them...
I like to "watch" movies...series, etc., when at the sewing machine. This popped up in my YT feed! Haven't seen it in years! I loved Debbie Reynolds...wonderful movie!
This is the next project. It's for Laura (my sister's Ex-husbands, now wife). They've been married for about 25, 26 years? Don't know. The only reason why I consented to making it was that she helped out when my sister was going through her cancer treatments a few years ago. She says one thing and does another...never returns phone calls or text. I don't know how to deal with un-reliable people. You have someone like this in your family?
Anyway, these are the colors I need to work with. It'll be a Disappearing 9 Patch. Should be easy enough...
Well, I suppose I need to get busy...Hope you all are well and safe from the snowstorms! Our 2 inches turned into ice...we just stayed home.
Until next time...
