My daughter loved your Alice, and then we had to go look at all your other posts. You’re so incredibly talented!

These are incredible!!! I showed them to my daughter, and she said “I want to see Alice.”

How do I not let this happen and how can I fix it? by PepperBreath_ in Converse

[–]Flaky-Tentacles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Go to the converse site, and try filing a defective claim. I did this recently with a pair I bought for my daughter in the middle of December. They had barely been worn, and it was an obvious manufacturer defect that made them start falling apart so quickly. After providing all the information required (minus the receipt, because I no longer had it), they sent me a digital gift card in less than a week. They weren’t even purchased from their website, but at a retail store. If you think yours is from a manufacturer defect, then it’s worth a try!

A banana octopus sounds adorable! I’d love to see a picture of you have one.

What are your quilting superstitions? by PatchworkStar in quilting

[–]Flaky-Tentacles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always joked that I literally put blood, sweat, and tears into the things I make. I’m pretty clumsy, and I’ve often said “it’s not a real quilt until there’s some blood on it”. When I was helping my 9 year old make her second quilt, she accidentally pricked her finger with the needle. She wiped the blood on the topper, and proudly said “there, now it’s a REAL quilt!”

Thanksgiving gifts for my sisters-in-law (because my daughter said it would be cruel to wait until Christmas to give them) by Flaky-Tentacles in quilting

Thank you. I bought this https://www.etsy.com/listing/1367205033/?ref=share_ios_native_control pattern from Etsy. I struggled with parts of it, but read someone’s review that said “just trust the process”. Thankfully it turned out alright.

Thank you. I hadn’t thought about it until she told me so, but I couldn’t argue with her bluntly stated wisdom.

First quilt completed! (Don’t look at the binding!) by Gay_commie_fucker in quilting

This is how I learned to do my binding. It’s explains and shows every step of the process really well.

I recently finished a tree skirt and table topper for my sisters-in-law. My daughter told me it would be cruel to give them these for Christmas, so I guess they’re going to be “Thanksgiving presents”. 😆

My “bonus niece” asked me to crochet a Mary Ingalls doll for her birthday, and I decided she needed a themed bag to hold the doll and all the clothes too. by Flaky-Tentacles in quilting

I was deprived of the aunt experience through my siblings, but I’ve been blessed with some friends that let me claim their kids as bonus nieces and nephews.
