I would like to find a machine that does the straight and a zig zag, but not all the cams.

Do they have to get your permission or do they "own" them.

It is feeling like a spring day here although cool. Crocuses and snowdrops are in bloom. My rhubarb is pink with tiny green leaves. We have had a colder winter with more snow than usual this year. I like the sashing on the basket quilt and I think it is done like a basket weave, to look like it weaves over and under every two blocks. Very clever and it looks so much more interesting than regular sashing with cornerstones. I wonder if I am right?? Be Kind, be calm, and stay safe.coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17619067129632194305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-60357433203709680342021-02-25T14:16:43.677-05:002021-02-25T14:16:43.677-05:00I say the very same thing -- how did I get to 78. ...I say the very same thing -- how did I get to 78.

My makeup, only if I’m leaving my house, is a bit of eyeliner and lip color.... though my daughter reminds me every time that no one can see my lips behind ,y mask! Haha. Ito my only makeup habit. But my days in are comfortable, often braless, and about what I want. To hell with society and the expectations on women to look perfect! Just smile and enjoy your moments the best you can! :)Squirrel1973https://www.blogger.com/profile/13985680218382320267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-92098005325630006982021-02-25T10:08:49.565-05:002021-02-25T10:08:49.565-05:00I'm reading this on Thursday morning (I do all...I'm reading this on Thursday morning (I do all my email first thing in the morning) and, yes, even up here in Albany, NY yesterday was almost 50 and it was WONDERFUL !! I'm 72 now and for a while I haven't really worried about how I look. I ditched makeup quite a while ago. And I don't really care what you think of my physical self - always been overweight - the wrinkles are here and I'm with you. Buy fabric is more important (or paying my long armer) than Botox -- besides that stuff really is poison. I don't have to have the latest fashions - just clean comfy clothing. And it's so freeing. It's the inside that really counts - and how we treat others. Anyhow, that's my 2 cents for today. Bet my two grandsons would like that quilt eventually. They're only 5 and 4 at this point - so I have time to collect jeans! Have fun today and always<br />Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108403674393282356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-17083109743481807062021-02-25T09:14:38.218-05:002021-02-25T09:14:38.218-05:00On the vintage quilt I love the sashings and would...On the vintage quilt I love the sashings and would love some direction to make those work for me!

May even get into the sewing room for some bonding time with my Janome. I've missed her during the recovery from the broken shoulder. She has been fickle tho , my daughter decided to take up paper piecing and has been working on projects while I recuperate. I never got paper piecing. I love cutting up squares and triangles and stitching them back together. That's my thing. seleyrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952256802310177092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-21986605424683272162021-02-25T05:00:00.653-05:002021-02-25T05:00:00.653-05:00So glad to be able to see the completed denim quil...So glad to be able to see the completed denim quilt!
