Maybe he'd like to come and visit Scotland. -- Jo in Scotland |

Basting is kind of fun, especially when my DH helps me. He says he enjoys helping me with it, too. Quilting, not so much. As I get better at MQing, I enjoy it more, but still my least favorite part, especially stippling! Binding I tolerate as a way to get a finished quilt. You stipple for me, and I'll sew for you! I agree with Wendy - I like cutting well enough, and wait until I have a big stack of new fabrics in order to cut charms and strips all at the same time. I like ironing on a cold day, or in the evening, while listening to the radio. Sasha helps me baste, but when she needs to go sit on a new corner so I can pin the one she is currently sitting on, she complains loudly! Machine quilting is fine, but I lean over too much and usually end up with sore shoulders and back. I really must learn to sit properly at my machine. I have a good book all about posture and sewing without strain - Rx for Quilters. It's time to get that book out and read it again! Doing the binding is just dull - not difficult. I'm eager to try the method of doing a binding where there is no lumpy under-turning; the method where you join the two ends of the binding with a 45-degree-angle join. -- Jo in Scotland |

how do you know their measurements? do you sew for them? I am guessing m

The eldest is 23, 5 foot 6, shoulder length dark brown-auburn hair, brown-green eyes, 38-29-39. She is currently living in Pennsylvania (near Girard) and working at a doughnut factory. She just broke up with her young man because he was more fond of video games than anything and would spend 6-8 hours a day on them She enjoys reading, long walks, creative writing and attempts assorted crafts but hasn't found one to suit her yet.

She is currently living in DD#3's bedroom, works at the mental health unit of the local hospital as a program assistant, and part time at a group home as a personal care aide. She enjoys reading, shooting pool, gadding about, and finding emotionally abusive a-holes that her mother will not approve of to date. DD#1 is a decent cook and worse at housecleaning than me. DD#2 is almost as bad a cook as my mother, but an excellent housekeeper. Both are trying to save up money to go to college. DD#1 isn't sure what to major in as she wants to be a writer, DD#2 wants to be a psychologist. OK! Who's got a son (or who is single and looking) that wants to take one of these lovely young ladies off my hands before they _both_ move back home? This could be tough, at one point DD#2 passed up a Chippendales dancer that was working his way through law school because she was seeing a pizza delivery boy who was in jail on traffic violations. (I kid you not!) I would like to have them settled down before DD#3 (age 14) and DS (age 5) get to that "troublesome" stage. If DD#3 weren't younger than she is I would already be tearing my hair out! I am willing to pay shipping and do bridal sewing in this cause.

Yep I do sew for them, frequently. I didn't figure anybody would be interested in their inseams or cuff sizes though.
