No Pix-- Danger! Danger! Will Robinson:--V-E-N-T-I-N-G Post

Hi All:  I hated machine quilting!!  I don't like the look of the stitches; my neck and hands hurt and I got puckers!  I WILL post a pix when quilt is bound. (At least my twin grandsons will still like it 'cause Grand'mere made it for them..).  I am really grumpy (duh!!) as I love the pattern.

 I think I really prefer tying; or hand quilting even though it takes a LONG TIME--but then you get to "know" your quilt really well and lotsa stuff can be quilted out ( as my Grand'mere used to say; don't worry, don't hurry, just do it!!)  I will show you my mess after I go take a REALLY, REALLY  long walk...(S -I-G- H) and stare at the ocean for a while.....it's hard realizing that you just cannot do EVERYTHING you want to do well.....a little humility needed here.
.I have to re-think what I want to do.....for this next year. Also, I have another one to do yet.....

PHEW!!!! (No pix post)

Bake, bake, bake, cut, cut, cut, sew, sew, sew, clean (well, a little), sew, iron, sew, iron, sew, iron, cut, cut cut....and so it goes, working up to the DAY......
Finally got the flannel out-doorsey prints in the mail and have the twins' lap LC's pinned and ready to machine quilt.  Fudge made , prepped to make Becky Higgins' chocolate candy popcorn for giving and well, those words from the old timey "Alice in Wonderland" film ,,,"I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date, no time to say hello--goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late..." keep running through my head....

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL VISITORS...A BIG HUG AND A MERCI GOES OUT TO YOU ALL....MMMMMMWAH!!!
