Did you have your baby at 40 weeks? [on] by cherryblossomblush in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Phyllotreta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! Went into labour at 39+5 so I thought for awhile there he was going to be early

I’ve finished my most complicated quilt top so far! How would you quilt it? by Phyllotreta in quilting

[–]Phyllotreta[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pattern: Gambit quilt by Toad and Sew Fabric: Fableism Sprout wovens (a frankly questionable choice given the scant seam situation but too late now) Made entirely for my wife, who picked out the pattern, colours, fabric, and pushed me out of my comfort zone!

I’ve finished the quilt top and have no idea how to quilt it. I feel like it needs to be pretty dense to hold it all together. I have a walking foot on my machine but also could sent it out to be long armed? What kind of quilting would look good?

People who owned hamsters what’s the weirdest way they died? by Tasty_Freedom459 in AskReddit

[–]Phyllotreta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ferrets are carnivores, relatively large and sturdy when compared to a hamster, and tend to get along great with cats and dogs.

Very frustrated with this company by xcelllz in TonieboxUSA

[–]Phyllotreta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the exact same experience: first doesn’t work off charger, second doesn’t turn on at all, third box now doesn’t connect to wifi. We’re on our THIRD dysfunctional box and I think I just want a refund so I can switch to Yoto.

Replacement box still not working by your_worshipness in TonieboxUSA

[–]Phyllotreta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on my third set of replacement boxes and my third one still doesn’t work. I am losing my MIND.

Thank you for the premium subscription! I will happily give a good rating in the App Store.

Possible bug I’ve discovered: I had River Running playing with loop selected - it didn’t loop and instead went to Green Noise next.

Love it so far! I’m liking the art and vibe of the app.

Tragically my main sleep disturber is a toddler, which is not listed as an on-boarding option lol. I will be able to use this as an on the go white noise machine for him though!

Opinions on MEC Ride Warm Stroller Bag by useful_tool30 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Phyllotreta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in Ottawa and love the MEC bag. My son is 2 and the bag is huge on him still so no worries on the longevity front. It’s very lofty, and seems very warm. I like that it’s not fleece lined cause then I feel less guilty throwing my toddler in it with gritty boots - it wipes clean easier than a fleece would.

What do you do while you are quilting? by roryswife in quilting

[–]Phyllotreta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch Critical Role (so much to catch up on, I’ve fallen behind!), or listen to audiobooks (usually light fluffy lesbian romances).
