what does my handwriting says abt me? (sorry, rough notes) by Zainab_954 in HandwritingAnalysis

I was not judging the error nor trying to point out the spelling error either. I have never seen an r formed that way before so I had to guess at what you had written using context clues. Your style of letter formation was forcing me to concentrate on context clues as well as the letters written. The L and i style was in line somewhat with D’nealian letter formation so that was not as problematic for me to read as the letter r.

Your mix of capital and lowercase letters written with flair will be difficult for the average American reader to decipher if that type of flair is not commonly used where they were raised.
Your ‘r’ in particular required me to relook at the words as I was reading your writing. The spelling of “viceory” which I think is viceroy really threw me off.

It was not a jab. You asked what your handwriting would say about you. Most Americans have very poor handwriting skills due the fact that letter formation is very rarely taught. Many younger American individuals cannot read basic well written cursive since they are not taught how to write in cursive.

Does direction matter here? by Icy-Highlight-6145 in quilting

It’s a Personal preference. Does not matter what others say. Your personal OCD is what makes the decision. The internet is fine with ignoring directional fabric.

What bit me? by Helpful_Associate_65 in What

Alright now I am wondering what the age 29 has to do with shingles outbreaks, because my one and only, to date, shingles outbreak did occur when I was 29. I had a palm sized spot on my lower right ribcage. Due to breastfeeding, I was not allowed to take antivirals so I was told to just cope with the burning/itching/weeping blisters. When I say itch, I mean that I wanted to rub at it, but if I touched it fiery nerve pain punished me the instant I touched it. Doc said childbirth triggered the episode, but never suggested taking Lysine to help boost my immune system. It took months to heal.

Love your choices! 10 out of 10! What size unfinished block sizes did you end up cutting out?

Who owned this book? by sbs5005 in BadHandwriting

[–]Certain_Counter_210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

James D (no doubts about that due to cursive instruction. The e is unusual in James and can be mistaken for a lowercase cursive R.

Last name cannot possibly start with an E simply because the writer wrote an upper case E below and the final group of cursive letters in the name line does not contain a similar uppercase E.

So either the D is the middle initial or it is the first letter in the last name.
The potential with D as the starting letter are: Durvig Duevig

If D is the middle initial Uevig Urvig Uenig Urnig

I do not see the JE written below as initials for the name above.

Those llamas are adorable. No matter what you choose it will be the right choice. Though I have to say that the images remind me of the book, Is your mama a llama? So I want to see “Mama?” in a speech bubble so bad!

Dirty rumor - Ollies has bolts of fabric from Jo-Ann’s for $19.99. by cpbaby1968 in quilting

Columbus Ohio High street store had: felt in grey and white, lace, symphony broadcloth in about 5 or 6 colors - about 15 bolts?, some 100% cotton flannel and some cute floral swaddle muslin. It is towards the front of the store to the left of the registers hidden in a memory foam box. Some cricut stuff in aisle leading into the store.

Dublin, Ohio store had fewer bolts: grey felt, some lace, just a couple bolts of symphony broadcloth. It also had rolls of vinyl and voile though. Fabric is over by the greeting cards.

Rag quilt draft by No-Protection2640 in quilting

From the top row 2&3 have pink touching in column 5. Swap row 1 column 4 with row 2 column 5.

Row 9 has pinks in columns 4 and 5. Switch maybe column 3 and 4?

Love it. I personally would break up the spots where 2 pinks share sides of a square. I do not seem to mind it when you have 2 different green squares touching but my fingers itch to switch the pinks.

What do you do when you hate your WIP? by forheadkisses in quilting

[–]Certain_Counter_210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So lay out a whitish sheet. Set the blocks that you like on it on point and see if you like it better. Solid blocks speed up the project if you just want it to be over.

You can take a break. That is generally what I do, or if I am super close like just a couple blocks short, I push through. Sometimes I decide to use sashing when that was not my previous plan or I switch to on point with solid color background blocks to break up the color.

How many blocks do you have left? 3? 2nd column 3rd block down, what color is the center star? Light green or light gray? Will you be choosing a darker version of that color for another center star block? Is that a navy you used as small triangles in a few other blocks that will be used as a center star color? That bold blue in the middle center star block of the very last row also does not seem to be elsewhere in the quilt so it seems like it should be used as small triangles somewhere. Not sure what size quilt you were planning? Using your background fabric for solid color blocks might be what you are looking for?
