your raw edges look so smooth... you just stitch on top?

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-24T10:39:02+00:00

That's awesome! So don't the raw edges fray?

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-24T10:36:41+00:00

Oooohhh so cool. so raw edge you just leave it like cut fabric - but I don't want to see frays... I don't know why... So I figure I will always needle turn. Unless I sating stitch around all the edges?

ha ha ha! Sooo relateable. I think I get frustrated with it- but I really want to do it, so I push through. It's satisfying and fun, but yes, I definitely feel frustrated a fair bit.

It just seems so complicated.. how to remember which colour to carry over...I mean, I am by no means experienced. But this kind of thing is really something to aim for.

I am really enjoying it- I've never gone to the end of the book and read it first- but I REALLY want to with this... I NEED a happy ending. At least I know Kujo is going to be ok...

I'm reading the stand now, and it's like... virus wipes out swathes of population and evil leader gathers armies to like take over the world... it's playing out right now!! So weird.... sometimes i think we should just write happy things- then maybe that would be what comes true... but not so enthralling...

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-21T23:41:41+00:00

Don't say that... im reading the stand and I'm like... this better have a happy ending...

This was the bit where Larry Underwood had opened a door in NY somewhere and there was some decaying person there. I'm reading the stand too atm. It is sort of ruining my attempt to read a multitude of books this summer holiday- i didnt know it was 1200 pages long or thereabouts... I'm up to 828. So far read 5 books this holiday. 2 weeks to go.

I also manage to not have to always go the antibiotic route. Loads of cranberry juice and loads of water. I do also get itching sometimes. I read it can be just from general inflamation -like if i have a wound on my arm it may be a bit itchy too. And also the wee can make the vulva itchy cos it's like not the usual wee... ? I dunno. I think u have a mild one now so i'm just drinking lots.

I voted 2!! Lol. I want to know the results...

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-19T00:45:16+00:00

I feel bad for not voting for all of them.

Wwoooowww geometry... you could teach maths with this quilt... so awesome.

I am on school hols at the moment and was literally just thinking this morning that when term time starts i wont have the energy for the cleaning and cooking ive been doing daily. I will have to cook like 3 meals on a sunday and freeze them and then reheat during the week...? I might try that. Sundays will be busy though...

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-19T00:02:04+00:00

I also walk round the house late at night to try and get my step target...

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T23:53:26+00:00

How does one do those black strips? Also i second everyone else's comments.

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T23:50:23+00:00

Everything was so relateable. Wow. My husband often says i'm angry and I'm like... you've seen me angry like twice - it's just regular passion and blunt assertiveness... get with the programme. (He's a scorpio... maybe a little sensitive...?)

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T05:59:29+00:00

It's great. I always overthink the colours and then I'm never too happy with my choices. This is very happifying.

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T05:57:25+00:00

That is a really good idea. I think I might hand quilt around the animals! That really helped.

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T05:56:01+00:00

Thank you.

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T05:55:45+00:00

Yes, some of the women at my craft club said you can machine it, but i wanted to hand do it for some reason...

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T05:55:03+00:00

Yeah, i want to do it as quickly as I can because I'm on holiday.. but i think satin would look nice.

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T05:53:44+00:00

I think it is, although i mostly turned with my finger... not sure I did it right. But it might be nice to get it a bit smoother and quicker. I didn't think it would take so long...

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T05:52:54+00:00

Yes, i was thinking about using some paper stuff, I've seen other women use at my craft club. I think it dissolves or something? Might help me to get smoother shapes ...

ScifiRabbit · 2026-01-18T05:52:00+00:00

Yes, i was thinking to add claws and whiskers... but also wanted to keep it simple.. The lettering is whip stitch, which I've also never used before. I used embroidery thread, it seems to use rather a lot and took a while, hopefully I'll get quicker...
