I really need it in my 2 bedrooms and in my bedroom turned into my sewing room. I love to open the curtains when I'm sewing so I can watch the birds and sometimes a humming bird comes be to get some nectar from my Rose of Sharon that is planted next to the window. I don't always close the curtains when I'm done sewing for the day. Then I worry about fabric fading with my quilts in progress. I need to make a trip to Lowe's. Thanks Debcal and Derrith for the info.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146834008601305781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25869937331727018592021-06-03T02:31:31.964-04:002021-06-03T02:31:31.964-04:00I solved the light bothering me.

I would have screamed. Why is it quilters are asked to sew "stuff"? I realize the curtains are your own, but totally understand the delay doing it.

I went to the LQS and bought some pinks and neutrals for Zuckerwatt. Some of the August quiltvillians are going to work on that pattern while at the Inn. The entire store was 25%! <br /><br />Our guild met yesterday for the first time in 14 months. Lots of eye candy including a Grassy Creek. I need to get mine finished before our next meeting! <br />K Hlavatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278685390985134256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-50291655392371365832021-06-02T07:19:35.976-04:002021-06-02T07:19:35.976-04:00It was my last weekend to work.

I picked it up at the long armer last Friday. It is a bedsize and it is big and heavy and hard to wrestle with. I am going to have to find something other than cotton to use in my quilts to lighten them up . But the cotton batting maekes them look like quilts. I have used wool and liked that, they are a little lighter, but I have never been a fan of the poly batting. although I use it in baby quilts since they are laundred more frequently. Have a good day everyone. seleyrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952256802310177092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-21880643342393439962021-06-01T19:42:03.127-04:002021-06-01T19:42:03.127-04:00Oh I get the dark thing, except I can sleep with t...Oh I get the dark thing, except I can sleep with the lights on! And you say “then how does she get the dark thing?” Well I can’t stand blinking lights or the occasional flash, even if it is in the bathroom with the door closed!! ... I know it is happening. Mr handsome had a heart monitor that would flash about every 90 seconds! (He is better now so no more blindly heart monitor!) And there are the electric tooth brush, when they charge it is blink blink blink. Had to put a bit of painters tape over the lights-I don’t even want to know if they are blinking. There is also Mr <br />handsome’s Fitness watch!😱😳. Well there you have it-my odd inability to sleep because of light issues! <br /><br />Glad you got the curtains hemmed. <br />I usually wait to do that stuff (like mending) until we don’t need it anymore! That’s a whole new story. We will stop with the light issue!

I am probably moving later this month, so I have't replaced them. I'm excited to see this year's L&E will be. I never got started last year, and I'm putting the checkerboard rail fence from a few years back.

For a minute, I thought you were on bikes in the ladder incident. I know it doesn't prevent stuff from happening, but I'm glad I have a dash camera. At least I have proof for the insurance company it wasn't my fault.
