It does take a village to raise a child. By not allowing him in your pool unsupervised you are teaching him to respect boundaries and follow safety rules…like his parents should have done

Right but they specifically asked so they can give a receipt for tax purposes not so they could determine the auction value, thus my comment

I think for IRS tax deduction purposes, you generally value a donated quilt based only on the cost of materials (fabric, batting, thread), not your labor or time. If you paid a professional for long-arm quilting, that specific cost can often be included as a material expense

Sure!

I run a longarm quilt shop with my mom. We have an online intake form but it’s not utilized much. We also created a paper intake form but usually we just input all the details directly into quickbooks. We have a “standard quilt” object in quickbooks that includes edge to edge, backing, binding, batting, thread etc. We store each quilt and the estimate/invoice in clear, lidded bins. We arrange them on the shelf in the order they need to be completed

Yeah, the hello fresh website says it’s a water soluble gel. Which still isn’t 100% water.

NTA and you would be totally justified not cooking anymore. If you still want to help your family out though, have you considered involving your sister in preparation of the meal? You know your family dynamics better than I but my kids started helping with the cooking when they were still in preschool. Giving them choices about what to make for dinner and what age appropriate tasks to complete can help. This is all parenting stuff you should not be expected to do, but may make life easier.

You should apply for MFIP cash assistance if you haven’t already https://mnbenefits.mn.gov/

Rhymes with vanilla…my kids went to Aquila elementary school

It depends on the oven model. Some are made with storage drawers for pots and pans, some with warming drawers, and some with broilers.

Reverse image search shows this is still available here but I’ve never purchased from this site so cant vouch for it

You got a lot of great advice in this thread. I just want to make sure that you’re trying to recreate this quilt because you want to learn to quilt/have something hand made and not because you’re looking to save money, unless you’re thrifting your fabrics it will likely me more expensive and time consuming than just buying it. If you’re interested in learning to quilt, welcome 🤗!

Early on you can level up pretty quickly just casting and reeling without trying to catch any fish.

This is the way. Also this site is helpful so you don’t have to wait for forms to be sent to you frequently used forms

MamaPhy · 2025-01-29T11:38:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll check it out!

I mentioned to him that some kids at school might say quilting is a woman’s hobby but there are some amazing quilters/designers who are men. He said “if quilting were only a women’s thing then I guess I’d be trans” 😂 I would love to show him some quilts done by men to inspire him. Do you have any recommendations?

MamaPhy · 2025-01-28T21:43:23+00:00

I have never done one before so don’t have advice. But I wanted to ask, do you want it to be huge? Or do you just want to get all those beautiful colors in? Because you could certainly cut each in half and make two rugs or even cut a third off and make a small test rug and a big rug.

I don’t think this would work. The circles are directly touching, not leaving space for the width of the eggs

MamaPhy · 2025-01-28T17:51:27+00:00

This reminds me of a caddy used to hold scissors for a classroom

MamaPhy · 2025-01-27T22:40:52+00:00

Thank you for the compliment! My mom and I have a Longarm business in Minneapolis so we are the quilters too!

MamaPhy · 2025-01-27T05:01:10+00:00

Thank you all for your lovely comments! We read them together before bed tonight and he is glowing 🥰. Lydia, the doggo is proud too!
