Me too! My favorite teacher says we should all choose to use the fastest technique that provides the results we want. I choose FPP often for that reason.

I think online quilting friends are amazing! I’ve got several I’ve gotten to know from Instagram. I love how we all speak the same quilty language and can instantly bond through our love of this art.

Fabulous! Love the spiral. I can relate to that battle with a large quilt on a domestic machine, but your effort certainly paid off.

When we sold our baby items over 20 years ago, I was surprised that the umbrella stroller was sold to a woman who put her tiny dog in the stroller. I think it’s great that they make them now for that purpose. A great way to take a small dog out safely and keep them mentally active even if they might be getting older and not able to walk as far!

So frustrating! Reminds me of a set of keys that went missing in our apartment many years ago. Searched everywhere! Days later, DH leaned back in in the recliner and pulled the lever to extend the footrest. When we heard that metal on metal drop, we both jumped to see the keys on the ground. Yes, we’d searched the gaps in the cushion. I’m convinced aliens took them and pranked us by returning them at the moment we found them.

Of this list, I only had PDAs. I had a couple of versions of the Palm Pilot. I remember learning the script using the stylus.

I’m getting closer and closer to my 60th birthday, and still remember my delight at using a mouse on a Mac with one 3.5 inch drive. Inserting and removing program vs storage discs was tedious, but just loving the intuitive interface and how quickly I was able to make the mouse an extension of my hand. So much easier than learning function keys and keyboard shortcuts. And then combining mouse clicks, functions, and keyboard shortcuts to be so much more productive than ever before.

We still have an original iPod that my husband uses in our basement, and I believe we still have a working Atari game console.

Thanks! Yes, it is FPP.

Great question! And I do! I haven’t done a Round Robin, and would certainly enjoy it, (I love yours) but here are quilting my quilts social things:

I love Instagram sewalongs, and just finished the Alison Glass Trinket. I post as @anjnpr. You can see the blocks I’ve done there. Also, my past projects are well documented. It is really fun for me to see how others interpret their designs.

I’ve taken a few lecture monthly BOM classes. Last year I did The Quilt Show Garden Party Down Under.

My first retreat this year resulted in a small group of fellow quilter friends who are meeting monthly to just hang out while hand sewing and talking about our projects and other typical chatty things. Four of us are making the Janeen van Niekirk Tiny Houses for entry into our local quilt show next spring as a group project.

I got brave and entered three quilts in our local show a year ago and two of them received ribbons.

I love talking about quilts almost as much as making them, and have found that they are a great way to make wonderful friends IRL and online.

I love hearing about what you watch when hand sewing. My go to choices are cozy British murder mysteries.

Love this so much!!

I’ve always really liked this design. I have been making such complicated quilts lately, and really need to add this one to enjoy the simplicity of how colors and basic HST design has such a great impact. Well done you!!

Skimpy kits are very disappointing! One of my favorite parts of a kit is adding bits to my stash, and not only does sending “just enough” deny me that pleasure, but I get really anxious about making a mistake and ending up short. I do like Moda bake shop patterns though!

Looks great! I do a lot of hand sewing on the couch. A great place to binge a favorite series and keep my hands busy.

It’s so vibrant! Basting is maybe my most avoided part of quilting, but so important.

Such a sweet face!

Ditto! I’m much less self conscious posting here, but have just been busy lately and not felt the energy for posting.

So in the early 20 teens before I learned how to subscribe to my own curated feed, I inadvertently saw things I never wanted nor needed to see. Though I never subscribed to those, sometimes in browsing r/popular I’d read those. Those two subreddits were never the sources of such sights. I’m both 1. still sad at losing my mindless reading habit and using the elegant Apollo app and 2. Grinning at greedy little pig boy’s schadenfreude.

I love how the gray one is occupying your lap. Had a little dog who did that and for her, we were at her service. We weren’t holding her, she was sitting on us. You and your fur babies look ver cozy!

So someone fat fingered my fat finger post and the misplaced post was related to slimming down fat fingers! I love Internet forums! 😝

Haha. My fingers aren’t technically fat. Normal size fingers that sometimes miss what they’re aiming for. Maybe it’s an American slang term for creating typos due to fingers landing on the wrong key? Good reminder of language use in an international platform! 🫣
