I would take a million of these videos over the edited ones any day.

I have been gone from there for 50 years, and I STILL have my accent, too. As you say, those vowels give us away! People can guess it just talking to them on the phone!<br /><br />I still try to feed everyone, all the time! And I can speak the language well, Yeeeaaah, Uff Da! You Betcha! I lived amongst all the Germans, Norwegians and Swedes, and Bohemians! Minnesota, the original Melting Pot of America!

Although I had been sewing for over 60 (!!!) years, we were living through a building addition and whole house remodel. No place to cook and eat, let alone sew! I started in January, way out of my comfort zone, and had a great time. This year I am able to do this as a true mystery and even scrappier than last year. Thank you so much for the gifts you give us.kat1249https://www.blogger.com/profile/12089484602655473719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-74048815211191913412016-12-08T09:30:59.688-05:002016-12-08T09:30:59.688-05:00I was so proud of your video!

Bonnie thinks as i do....what is the finished size and she has made it so easy for my brain! <br />For old quilters, you know, we own huge amount of rulers we don't particularly "get in our brain" and spend $$$$$ to make it easier, and always disappointed? Not this one!! Love it! Check out her YouTube video!
