Perhaps I was not logged in !<br /><br />At any right, nice to meet you, Heide, and thank you for the peek into your quilt world. <br /><br />I'm with you - it took me a while to REALLY understand the importance of the scant 1/4" seam. Heck, I wish someone had told me that the weight of thread you use can affect your seams, and therefore you accuracy!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04852883605754120475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467980442113320945.post-9429593200493497242016-07-23T11:52:19.714-04:002016-07-23T11:52:19.714-04:00Jeepers... it's supposed to say "cannot s...Jeepers... it's supposed to say "cannot sew and watch TV"Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467980442113320945.post-5148646785092109822016-07-23T11:51:38.017-04:002016-07-23T11:51:38.017-04:00PS - I forgot to answer a question.

As you know, I am already a fan and follower! <br />Your quilts are always beautiful! Empty nest is definitely an adjustment, but you do learn to cope in time. Especially if you have multiple interests (like kick boxing... wow!)<br />I hope you and Guinness do a post for Pets on Quilts!

The foxes are super cute too. No Netflix in our house; I haven't convinced my husband that we need it. No TV near my sewing room although I've been thinking about taking over the pool table room. I use the pool table anyway for laying out baby size quilts but really I was thinking of moving it into the TV room. Empty nest syndrome, yes, it is hard. My best advice is to keep busy. Maybe make a T-shirt Quilt for your "soon to be moving out of the house" kid. I was going to do that but never did and now have given all those t-shirts away. But I just might make one for me with all of my souvenir t-shirts.Tu-Na Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556292032780405882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467980442113320945.post-182749264800794062016-07-16T04:49:45.179-04:002016-07-16T04:49:45.179-04:00Hi Heide - love to read this post and learn more a...Hi Heide - love to read this post and learn more about you. It's funny because whilst you are thinking empty nest I am just about fantasising about having a day, or maybe two, to myself .... Home Ed goes in cycles and right now it's quite hard!!! Love your quilts - I hadn't seen your finished foxes one yet - gorgeous! TV whilst sewing?!!!

I don't think I could watch Netflix and sew at the same time. I'm not a very good multi-tasker. I like to listen to audio books though! Really enjoyed looking at all your quilts.

I also don't eat sugar but that's because I have a sensitivity to it and it makes me sad.I don't watch netflicks when I quilt. I listen to the radio.

I agree about googling when you have a question about how something works, more often than not someone has experienced your same issue and has figured it out. I don't often watch Netflix when I'm sewing but when I do I like to watch Anthony Bourdain's show where he travels to different cities / countries. Very interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
