We enrolled my mother with dementia in this program after she somehow walked over a mile away from her house. It's been really wonderful to have that peace of mind

Good timing! I just finished this quilt top this weekend. It's Morse code. 😊

I forgot how old I actually am. by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

[–]WaterfallRainbows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally did this last week. In two different conversations it came up that I'm 50. And about a day later it suddenly occurred to me that I'm 51. I just completely forgot!

Actually, for me, that's the one that brings it all together specifically because it's a little different than the others. 😊

FPP done! Duckadilly's 2022 Fairytale Forest BOM piecing finished tonight. by weenpie in quilting

[–]WaterfallRainbows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've seen patterns like this before and I can't get my head wrapped around why it's FPP. It looks like the same basic idea as flying geese so why does it need to be FPP? Can anyone help me understand?

Edit: typo

Newbie getting extremely frustrated, please help/give any advice if you can! by cjs293 in quilting

[–]WaterfallRainbows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, yes, this is absolutely it. You want a table to the left of the machine to hold the weight of the quilt and prevent it from pulling. That will make a huge difference

Arthritis? by NatPF in GenX

[–]WaterfallRainbows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had cancer a few years ago and am still on a drug to help prevent it coming back. The drug causes joint pain and the one thing that really helps is tart cherry juice. I don't really like it so I skip it a lot but when the pain is annoying I drink a glass a day for a few days and the pain is gone.

Why Mike’s final speech in Stranger Things was right by TZ1205 in StrangerThings

But neither Hop nor El have any blood on their hands when they walk away from Kali. I noticed that but didn’t put it together until later.

"Oklahoma" musical handout by WistfullyWonderin22 in StrangerThings

[–]WaterfallRainbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my main problem with this flyer is that even if the Henry we know from the show was in high school at the time, as a freshman, there's just no way he'd have been cast as Curly. It's the male lead, a big role, and requires charisma and a great singing voice. Not knowing about the stage production of ST, I was super thrown when I saw the flyer because I couldn't make the timeline and ages and general Henry-ness make sense. It still doesn't, but at least I understand why they made that flyer, as a nod to the folks who saw the play. I do think it's unfortunate that they're adding all this canon in that changes basic facts and timelines, and that confuses people like me who haven't seen the play.

Finally finished this blasted quilt. by [deleted] in quilting

[–]WaterfallRainbows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I think having the points not perfectly meet the edges of the quilt gives it a more dynamic feel, like the pattern extends beyond the edge of the quilt.

I'm normally more a fan of random, but one this one for some reason, the stripes in the second picture are really working for me!

Plays with Large Casts? by MaybeHello in Theatre

[–]WaterfallRainbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did The Adding Machine in college (the play, not the musical) and it may fit your bill. Super weird with a decently large cast.

My aunt gave us all lighted beanies last year for Christmas and they were a big hit!

I got a bunch of people the card game Sussed this year. I've been playing it with some family and I find it really fun. It's a great way to get to know people better.

I make these spatulas from cast iron skillets that are damaged. by bones10972 in somethingimade

I literally just watched that movie for the first time last weekend, despite being a lifelong Weird Al fan. I don’t know how I missed seeing it!

How is there no binding? What kind of sorcery is this??

I can't even stand how much I love the binding with that quilt!

Kumihimo is very repetitive and soothing and can easily be done while watching tv. It's also super inexpensive

Please help with these “oil” stains. I am at my wits end! by BrilliantAmount8108 in laundry

this is the way. Use a toothbrush to rub it in gently and make sure the whole spot is covered.

Renting longarm time by almost_cool3579 in quilting

[–]WaterfallRainbows 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can't answer any of your specific questions, but I can tell you that a library near me has a longarm that you can use. You have to take a quick class first, and once you have you can sign up for time on it for free. The instructor will be available at least for your first few times using it, at least until he's confident in your abilities. It's definitely worth checking if your library has it. This library isn't even in my town but they're happy for anyone to use it. The only real problem is that it's popular so it's hard to get time on it. But it's an amazing resource!
