I had enough of that country time fabric to make a really, really big lap quilt. Big enough for me and my big doggie at the time. Of course, nothing else in our house was navy, beige, and red, but what's the fun in matching the furniture? I lined this with soft red flannel and many, many years later. I still love having this on my bed even in the summer. I cherish so much more anything I've made. Honestly though, I must admit that I am disappointed when I have put so much time into something and given it to a friend for it to be tossed aside. I've learned my lesson and now only make things for certain craft friendly friends. Have you found the same or are you only friends with other craft people?

What a fantastic quilt,
I too find that if people push my things to one side that I dont tend to give to them any more,

This quilt is so neat and must have taken ages to complete. I too have wheedled out a few people that I send my craft creations too.
Hi dear ,yor blog beautiful as always...Laura
The quilt is beautiful Michele, I'd certainly treasure it. I know what you mean, I don't think people realise how much time and love goes into the things we make and it takes another crafter to appreciate it. (To make you laugh, I started a quilt when I got engaged but never finished it and I've been married 19 years now... and it's still in my cupboard unfinished!)
i love your quilt, i know what you mean about giving things you've made as gifts, but for me, part of the fun is just in the making, but it's great when you can really tell they'll be loved too
It's gorgeous, Michelle!
I love your quilt! I lose count of the amount of gifts I make for people only to discover it is kept, unused in a cupboard, it is can be extremely frustrating and really makes me doubt my skills. I think sometimes it is because people want to 'look after' something hand made but I would far rather see something I made turn all raggy and worn out through use!
The characters of the show are the true stars here, I loved every single one of them. watch movies 2k They were all great with amazingly interesting flaws and the way they mix and clash with one another was fun to see unfold. megashare9.tv They certainly help to carry this show although I would say that the government antagonists of the show felt a little flat and under developed and not nearly as memorable.
Production values are also quite good with some beautiful cinematography, editing, lighting and sound. My goodness I loved their music choices. I would say that the CGI does look a little obvious and from time to time I did notice some issues where the scenes didn't look quite up to scratch. losmovies I do think however I've been spoiled for visual quality since Game of Thrones so I would take that criticism with a grain of salt because it certainly didn't detract from the overall experience. The setting and style of everything in the locations where also great to see and felt real and interesting. 123movies to The way everything was shot also captures every moment expertly and really helps to draw out those story moments with greater emotion.
Stranger Things is one of those special shows that I stumbled across and after the opening I knew I was hooked. zmovie Its exciting dark tale is expertly woven through its 8 episode run time and I know I will be back to re-watch this one. The ending is fairly well rapped up with a few loose story threads left hanging, with a promise for potential follow on seasons but the story is quite satisfyingly rapped up by the end. Memorable, exciting, dark and haunting Netflix knocks Stranger Things out of the park, 10/10.
You should see how my buddy Wesley Virgin's story starts in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.
These are the EXACT same SECRETS many famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and successful.
You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.
That's mostly because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps this thought has even taken place IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years back, while riding an unregistered, garbage bucket of a vehicle with a suspended license and with $3.20 in his bank account.
"I'm so frustrated with living check to check! When will I finally succeed?"
You've taken part in those conversations, ain't it so?
Your own success story is waiting to happen. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
