I especially don't understand the ones where people are nominated for one reason or another to post a picture of this or that, but then not say anything about it. Why?! and it goes on for usually 10 days at least. Thankfully I have yet to have the dubious honour of being nominated, as I would have to decline or ignore.

your response was funny! I'd leave it. Least said and all that.

Yours doesn't look even close to the grey one in the link. Yours is MUCH nicer.

Thanks! I didn't like her grey one either. I don't know where the picture went of her original one, she seems to have removed it from that page, but here's a link to a picture of someone who did a very small one that is more like what I first saw. Except this small one is nicer! In Pat's original, she had used more scraps in similar colours, so it didn't look as fresh and scrappy as this small one: https://fresh.inlinkz.com/entry/db7748a1f025453da26ce5b67e3ebbd8 I would like to do one more like this, maybe some day when I have collected enough little squares again.

Does this mean you need to go stash-replenishing?  I thought you were like the rest of us, and admitting 'one has more than enough stash for two lifetimes'. ;) ;) ;) ;D
No, no stash replenishing! It's getting the squares cut. It's when you are finished a project, you need to cut up the scrappy bits so they will take up less space. It takes a while, but over time you will have a whole bunch of ready to go squares. I hate sitting down and chopping up a bunch of fabric for squares as it's so time consuming. It took me a week or so to cut up all the scrappy bits that someone else gave me!

Finished my Traffic Jam quilt today. I wanted the pink to be all the same as is in the big squares in the blocks, but I ran out so I had to substitute for the sashing between the blocks. It's good, but I would have liked it better in the same fabric! And if you think it's PINK now, you should have seen before the borders were on! They really calmed it down.

Oh, here's the link if you want the pattern - the pattern link is about half way down the page.

I knew there was a thread like this somewhere, took me a while to find it.

This, from reddit, made me laugh so hard I had tears!

Announcing you are somebody's father right after you cut off their hand will probably not go over well.

Can't figure it out . . . what movie is that from?
Star Wars, I think - doesn't Darth Vader cut off Luke Skywalker's hand with the light saber, then says something like "Luke, I am your father"? It's been a while since I have seen the movie!
He says "No, I am your father." in response to Luke repeating Obiwan's accusation that Vader killed Luke's father.
Yeah, there ya go - it's been a while!

Rho, that's so sweet! It's fun to make small things, isn't it.

Thank you! She is a real sweetie. I look forward to watching her grow up - so curious to know if she will look like her mom! Her mom doesn't look much like either her own mom or dad. Actually, none of my friends' kids look much like either of them, though the other two daughters (sisters of the mom) look a lot alike. Funny how genetics go!

Okay, I don't remember if I posted this quilt yet and am too lazy to check, but now the baby has arrived! She's 11 days old here.

Hobbies / Re: Collecting. That's a hobby, right?
« on: April 30, 2020, 09:20:50 am »
I have a small collection of thimbles, which was not started by me. I have a small collection of cat things. I wanted to start a collection of music boxes, and my mom did give me some, but I never run into them (I don't get around much!) and other people never caught on. I have a HUGE collection of fabric (LOL!) I also have a collection of postcards. Thankfully most of these things don't take up a lot of room.

The one thing I did deliberately collect was tins. Most are modern, and they cover the top of the cupboards in my living room, and the top of the bookcase in my bedroom, with a bunch more in other scattered places. They really provide a lot of colour in the living room, which otherwise is mostly light wood colours.

Decluttering gets derailed by crafty stuff! I found this little card, and it's so timely that I am making more for my friends! They won't all have a stamped front, and the words inside are mostly on white paper. But you attach a teabag to the other part of the card inside (you can't see it in this picture.)
