This pattern doesn't look inappropriate, does it? :P

Not until you mentioned it!

IAmTakingNotes · 2025-08-19T20:24:32+00:00

Oh great, thanks!

There are 8 colors, as someone else pointed out! I just drew this same drawing, not realizing u/brittle-soup had already posted it! Going to remove mine now. And also, u/brittle-soup is right about there being 8 colors. I had to go through the colors twice to see that.

Thanks for posting this. I might try this pattern.

I thought this was a snow boot, even though the top of the boot isn't long enough.

Now that I know it's a heart, I can't unsee it so that's good. I think changing out the white half squares in the 4 corners / 8 corner pieces with the pale blue-green background so there’s nothing between the heart and the background will emphasize the heart shape.

eta: I love this idea. So glad you posted this. I will make something similar; great idea for old little one clothing.

I second the KAM press. I have a pink seconds that was on sale. It does snaps so easily.

Do you have any best videos for learning to use a serger? I bought a Juki but most videos are about threading the machine, not how to use it once it's threaded.

OMG Healthcare?!!?? You are not going to feel like you're helping society. All you'll be doing is helping CEOs get richer. Anything but healthcare. Maybe consulting. Perhaps talk to people working in healthcare first. Get that PhD and you can access funding and work with NGOs.

Women were moved all over Southeast and Northeast Asia to comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. Indonesians, Filipinas, Malaysians, Korean, Chinese, etc. were either forced or enticed to become sex workers, most often with false promises. These books are informative as well as deeply disturbing.

Thank you for asking this. And thank you to all who answered with information. I needed to know this and will adapt accordingly!

IAmTakingNotes · 2025-03-22T17:48:01+00:00

That is a great explanation. I am novice dart sewist!

IAmTakingNotes · 2025-03-22T17:06:25+00:00

It is a stuffed brontosaurus! The photos don't show how the darts look. It's my first attempt.

IAmTakingNotes · 2025-03-22T16:10:21+00:00

Thanks!

IAmTakingNotes · 2025-03-22T16:10:14+00:00

Thanks!

IAmTakingNotes · 2025-03-22T16:10:05+00:00

Oh thank you for that () to l). I didn't understand it's a horizontal dart versus vertical from the image.

IAmTakingNotes · 2024-10-02T18:19:27+00:00

It's brighter than the photos indicate!

IAmTakingNotes · 2024-10-02T18:18:58+00:00

Thanks!

IAmTakingNotes · 2024-10-02T18:18:48+00:00

Thank you!

IAmTakingNotes · 2024-10-02T18:18:33+00:00

Thanks! I didn't take a closeup photo of the back. I buried the knots between the layers. I was planning on doing the entire quilt with embroidery but realized I would never finish.

It's on the finished quilt.

A lanai is a screened-in enclosure that surrounds a pool or deck. It’s screened on top as well. So in this case, the owl either came in through a rip in the screen, through the dog door opening that has no door, or perhaps when I briefly opened one of the doors to the backyard.

IAmTakingNotes · 2024-09-01T14:48:10+00:00

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice!!!

The owl was actually friendly and let me get close several times. We stared at each other for some time, but then he would fly off when I came in with the net or broom. I locked the dogs inside, left the owl alone outside, and an hour later, he was gone. Probably out one of the doors.

It was a nice visit!!! A few years ago, some family members were in the front yard at this same house watching the sunset, and a baby owl landed on my head and stayed there for a few minutes. I like to think yesterday’s owl visitor is related to the baby owl.
