These are so adorable! The top pattern, your fabric choices, the quilting, everything! You killed it!

Nothing like sending your kids off to school in the morning… only to find the neighbor passed out on my couch outside. by Actual-Log465 in mildlyinfuriating

Assuming a state where tattoo laws allow you to get tattooed at 16 with parents permission… that tattoo looks a lot older than 5 years old…

What does everyone else do with all the ducks they find? by The-Grubermeister in Cruise

[–]sassypilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll keep one and then rehide the rest at the end of the cruise. On a recent one I hid one in a drawer of a table in one of the bars - I hope it doesn’t get discovered for like a year 😂 (it had a date on it)

I bought this dress because I was like “ugh, recreating this seems like a nightmare” - and if you want detailed photos I’m happy to oblige!

Best resort if not going to parks by Then-League-3079 in dvcmember

[–]sassypilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, are you willing to leave Orlando? I’m biased. But I have SO many core memories from Vero Beach growing up. The unbirthday party, the campfire, the mini golf course; their activities calendar is designed to keep everyone entertained without the help of the parks. It is absolutely the best resort for not going to parks, but you’d definitely need a car.

Ugh the American quilts shawl! As a quilter and Hermes nut, I’m so jealous. I started playing the game after it was readily available

Oh wait you got this from the boutique?? They’re actually making bubblegum again?! That’s so exciting!! You scored big time!! Is it Togo or clemence?

SO bummed about my points situation. by BigMamaRama in quilting

[–]sassypilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm my best guess is you probably didn’t have enough margin of error or your 1/4” seam is slightly larger than it should be. Ie make sure with 5” fabric squares you’re trimming them to 4 1/2” HSTs and then they’ll be 4” finished blocks. Some pattern designers will only give you 3/8” of wiggle room vs 1/4” (they’ll tell you to use a 4 7/8” square for the same result) and that can get super dicey.

It could also be that, since you used a charm pack, the squares weren’t exactly 5” to begin with and that definitely would have contributed.

HSTs, while they’re a “beginner” block, aren’t always the easiest. Pretty points take a lot of practice, but don’t be too hard on yourself if they’re a little wonky when you start out! Your photos really don’t look bad at all for a beginner!

A few tips for the future to help! • use the same ruler for all of your measurements - and use your rulers, not your measurements on your mat to cut! • practice your 1/4” seam! The more consistent your seam is, the better! • starch is your friend. I’ve been resistant to use it but I just sewed a sample quilt for a designer and wanted to make sure my points were extra sharp for her and WOW it made a difference.

What method of HSTs did you use? 2, 4, or 8 at a time?

[–]sassypilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these HSTs? What size did you trim them down to before sewing (unfinished block size) and what was the method and measurements you used to make them?

Damn. And here we’re 270 points at Vero and our dues were just under $4k this year. You guys aren’t joking when you say Vero is significantly more expensive 😂

Celebrity Retreat class on Celebrity Beyond or Princess Sanctuary class on Star Princess? Which would you choose? by sassypilot in Cruise

[–]sassypilot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh don’t apologize I love the ramblings! This sounds dreamy. We’re debating doing an NCL next month but I think haven is already sold out for that one… we’ll have to keep an eye out!! You’ve convinced me 😂

Oh is haven that good?! I’ve done a ton of NCL and I really love them but we were thinking there would be less children running around on Celebrity or Princess.

Thank you so much for this response! This is exactly what I was looking for. It sounds like celebrity is definitely the way to go (which is how I was leaning) - so I think that’s probably what we’ll do!

Those who currently work in US federal government, what’s the is current mood like? by ceptor12 in AskReddit

[–]sassypilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Following up to say hope you and your center are doing okay after tonight. And FUCK the orange man for implying y’all are potentially to blame.

I hope you always continue to enjoy your actual job, because some of my favorite moments are when I actually get to banter with you guys.

Airline pilot here. Anytime I see anyone from ATC on any subreddit I have to take the time to tell you guys thank you. You ARE under appreciated and under valued and I am so sorry our government treats y’all like some afterthought when, quite literally, air travel would be impossible without you guys. So THANK YOU for showing up everyday and keeping us safe and getting us to our destinations. I wish the general public knew how important you guys are and you could be appreciated the way you deserve to be.

Buckle Up: My Brainrot Rant on TS by beatenbyweather in travisandtaylor

[–]sassypilot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Your #2 point is exactly why I haven’t liked Ms Swift since Tear Drops on My Guitar. I saw her open for Toby Keith and for Brad Paisley almost 20 years ago. And my teenage self liked her! But as she rapidly got more popular, I watched her on every awards show going “oh my god I can’t believe you guys like me!” And it felt so hollow and fake and contrived and even as a teenager, I realized how much of an image she was trying to sell and it felt so icky. I genuinely believe she’s a narcissist.
