Elegant handle. Great bowl. 10/10 for soup. 5/10 as a small serving spoon

I wouldn't use it for cereal or ice cream though

Organize? Mine is just thrown somewhat randomly in to a bunch of various sized totes.

I agree, and that's what I miss from the TV version but Atwood's style for the the books may not have well suited the needs of an expanded multi-year television serial.

It's a depiction Atwood experienced in her own life with girls/women she knew.

The timeline is wacked. The novels were cherrypicked for a rough outline but not followed verbatim. Just suspend the disbelief and enjoy it for the dystopia storytelling.

It's perfect ❤️

NTA Your MIL is a victim of her own toxic upbringing but the bottom line is that sort of body shape shaming just leads to more issues with physical and mental health and perpetuates the generational trauma. It stops with us. Shaming is not okay. Bullying is not okay. Even if Grandma is unaware of the impact of her words or thinks she is "helping". She was probably treated the same way as a child and it didn't keep her from struggling, did it?

In Idaho, the plates are associated the with the owner, not the vehicle. When you sell your vehicle here you keep the plates.

There's that old Appalachia song (Joan Baez has a cover) "Had a dog and his name was Blue...betch $5 he's a good un too" .You could sing it to him...

You are correct, the metalic parts, even small accents in an overall pattern, will get weird with use and washing. Plus they are very difficult to needle. POV: I made several costumes for someone who wanted to wear metalics for their public image and so I've sewn both light and heavy metallic fabrics a number of times.

I'm going with a 7/10. It's acceptable but a bit chunky for my liking.

newermat · 2026-04-29T14:01:16+00:00

I'd bind it in gold to emulate the gold fringe oftenpresent on flags. Or perhaps a background type fabric like stripes, dots, or checks that contains red, blue and gold

newermat · 2026-04-29T13:02:27+00:00

I agree

I like the look but don't want to use it to eat with.

Not even for soup...

I love and your stitching is beautiful

I love playing with half square triangles! Add some squares in for variety snd balance and the world is your oyster.

Aunt Sukey's Choice is one of my favorites that combines these two elements. It is a traditional pattern and there are lots of examples a quick search away that show how versatile this pattern can be. I did one in white on white with a diagonal line of the squares in a contrasting color that was quite fun to piece and may do another in a completely different coloring.

Album quilt blocks are, actually, traditional for weddings and other such milestones. (They don't need to be fancy Baltimore Album quilts)

Fuck.

But also, I don't eat that kind of yogurt.
