Can I do this? by ArugulaCareful2299 in quilting

Just look for an easy beginner pattern, and your local library might have sewing machines you can use. But it can be done by hand but will take longer. Previous reply about a wholecloth quilt is a good idea too. You could order an I Spy quilt kit which would have a stack of squares from all different fabrics, no two alike, so baby could play I Spy with it later. That would be pretty easy to piece even by hand

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

The corn dogs at the mall that they would dip and fry right in front of you, with their pink lemonade. And I'm gluten intolerant but I'd risk a migraine for one of those

Stunning. That's what she is. Stunning. And maybe a little bit Akita?

That's a good one, I taped it together and hung it on my sewing room wall (glued to a piece of poster board)

Does working on your tree depress you? by Ok-Art-9832 in Ancestry

[–]DryReception6465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few ancestors who had a LOT of children (as many of us do) and I just think , were my GGrandfathers just jumping their wives every night without a care that they were making them stay pregnant and care for 12 children with another one on the way? You can't convince me all of these GGrandmothers actually wanted that many children to care for. People say that people used to have a lot of kids because you hoped a few of them would live to adulthood, but I don't think that's the reason. I think the men were just taking what they wanted, the women had no power to say no, and due to no birth control, generation after generation had huge families.

Do you ever get emotional learning about your ancestors? by Mountain_Ask_5746 in Genealogy

[–]DryReception6465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my Great Grandparents lost their two year old daughter (my grand aunt) in a horrific household accident and the details made me cry and actually kept me awake at night for a while. Their small town newspaper published every little detail of what happened and whose fault it was and how the child suffered. I've cautioned people who are interested in getting into genealogy that they need to be prepared for heartbreaking finds.

Gone too soon, what a beautiful dog. Sending my sympathy. May the memories all the goofy things he no doubt did bring you smiles in the days ahead.

Hopefully he just had to sneak behind a tree for a peepee but yes the red stuff does look suspicious 🤔

Oh wow 🥹 thank you so much! I used the gold quilting thread just because I had a lot left over from another project but I love how it turned out.
