  1. Listening … while trying not to micro manage the painters who are painting my kitchen.
    .
    Football… Detroit Lions has not been good since the 1950s … and they were not that good then.
    .
    I think that is important to teach kids basic life skills. My mom did it with me, I with my DD, and DD is teaching my grandson to do things around the house…. AND HE RESISTS WITH EVERY BONE IN HIS BODY!
    .
    Never learned to rock a needle … hand stitching of any kind is hard on my hands… I have a nerve deficits….. I think Alex Anderson is left hand and she stitches coming and going… She said she learned from a Mennonite / Amish lady. Did you ever think of stab stitching your quilt … takes a long time.
    .
    Standing up straight … I am trying out one of those back braces that makes you throw your shoulders back. I also sleep on my stomach … get the best sleep that way.

    QUILTED …. looks interesting but I put myself on a quilt book diet…. no new books unless I get rid of the old books… no more room. Plus I thought it was pricey …. I find the interviews are too redundant. If you are unfamiliar with those people it would be interesting… if you follow them closely it is usually old hat stuff.

    What did you think of the OSCARS? Have not been to an adult movie in ages … none of the movies looked like something I want to see.

  2. Love your podcasts. Glad you are feeling better. Just a suggestion about hand quilting, there was a discussion on the Celebrate Hand Quilting Facebook group awhile back. There is a style in hand quilting where you don’t put the needle in perpendicular but flat. That’s the way I have always done it, it might be a southern thing. But to me it’s easier to “Rock” it. I am a lot like you, I get all excited about starting a project and don’t always finish. My Frolic is stalled at clue 5, but I am determined to push on, You can do it too!
