Maybe we need to start matching up our family members. You know RCTQDS -

"He wants to stay in the NY area though". Are you sure? Maybe he'd
like to come and visit Scotland.

I *love* cutting! And designing/planning/fondling fabric. I like sewing.
Pressing is ok, sometimes it is very satisfying, and warming on a cold day!

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.

OK, ladies and gentlemen!

I have three daughters!
2 of which are of marriageable age.

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.

The second is 21, 5 foot 9, long blonde hair, blue eyes, 42-28-38.
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.

Denise, would you consider sending your DS to Iowa? I have a niece who's

the

right age and looking -- and she likes quits (in fact, when she was three

or

four, I made her a yellow and white Irish chain with hearts appliquéd in

the

white spaces).

I think the Irish Chain will be a wedding gift to

DS if and when he ever finds the right girl, he's 27 and still looking.
He's 6' tall, college degree, muscular, it's gotta happen pretty soon,
right?

Has anyone offered to take those painful reminders of your mistaken
fabric choices off your hands yet? *sigh* Okay, *I'LL* do it.

Ooooh, Giselle! That was a *good* beg! Very sneaky and worked in quite
well! You're learning *way* too quickly.

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