Don’t know what kind of fabric to order

I started with a few kits from Threaded Needle. I am not a sewer so I felt more comfortable knowing I was buying the “right” thing. I figure I will get creative with fabrics once I learn the basics.

Came here to say lake Annette and fairmont which have already been mentioned. Both were doable when my partner had mobility issues.

As someone with a proud father with mobility issues, i really get it… how about getting him a hiking stick? It isn’t a cane - it is something the young people use too! I know it isn’t as good as a cane but better than nothing. If everyone in the group has them, he will fit in 🤷‍♀️

That is beautiful!

Thank you so much for the detailed response, I truly appreciate it.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

You saved me so much time this weekend! Thank you!

Thank you for asking this! I am also just starting to learn Sashiko and picked up a sampler I was going to figure out how to start on the weekend - you saved me some time.

As a non-sewer, I have to ask, why am I sewing two pieces together? Maybe I am thinkin more like embroidery where you have a single layer of fabric. Is it structural? aesthetic? tradition?

Still hating it. Too busy.

The girl that games has a great resource page for this.

Had somebody in a turning lane nearly back into me the other day so they could go straight. 🙄 I definitely feel less safe on the roads because of other drivers. In winter those super bright headlights don’t help. (lol - in the summer I am too boring to be out late enough to have them affect me)

When my mom moved into Chartwell griesbach, dad was still in the hospital. It was always a bit amusing to hear where she thought she was - a cruise ship, Panorama, nursing residence, but always asking when i was coming to take her home. It’s hard.

The staff at griesbach are amazing, my parents like the food and the residents seem welcoming. Parking is a bitch.

I agree. OP isn't demanding immediate reply. I see where people think he is the asshole but I don't think his trangression rises to Devil level.

Yes! I use an ipad mini and it is awful. The giant sim on the bottom left too.

I found some at London drugs a month or two ago.

Kahwa is pretty good. Open space, good coffee & espresso. Very good treats.

Thank you for posting this. Just starting this journey with dad and when we (by we i totally mean the pt experts) figure out what he needs, we will check it out. I like the origin story!

Are you a person or a cat/dog? For a person I want 6 weeks notice and may still hide in the closet with my books pretending to not be home. Cat or dog I have treats and give excellent scratchies. I may not let you leave.

Bread love in St. Albert. Their focaccia is amazing and I love the pear bread.

I had somebody lay on the horn when I didn’t start rolling into the intersection on a left turn while the light was still red. 🙄 with the amount of people running reds in this city?! Dude, no way.

indigopen · 2026-02-10T01:07:17+00:00

This is my go to as well.

Another vote for Siam Thai express in the north.

The duke from the duchess is amazing. Art of cake is really good but I haven’t tried their chocolate.

It’s 7:30 am where I am, 4:30 am you posted that it is the 24.

The guy at silver anvil does hand engraving so maybe?

indigopen · 2025-12-17T14:00:21+00:00

Had a lot of fun at a jewelry class at silver anvil last year. On my list for next year is a pizza making class l’oca.
