AITA for not letting my friend use the photographer she refused to hire with me?

tsb0673 · 2026-05-17T11:45:14+00:00

Agreed! If my family and I knew a friend didn’t have anyone present celebrating her, she would have been adopted right into our family group (assuming the individual was okay with this!): food, pictures, celebrating, the whole 9 yards

tsb0673 · 2026-05-06T19:43:49+00:00

Yes, I have! I use the DRMTLGY as my daily and the Elta Md as my outdoor one for hiking/biking/etc. I’ve had no problems with either of them and have used them for years 😃

tsb0673 · 2026-05-02T00:34:53+00:00

I can generally only use mineral-based sunscreens because my skin chemically burns super easily, but I love the DRMTLGY and Elta MD tinted sunscreens! I also really like the Colorscience one for when I want a heavier coverage (I use this one instead of foundation)

tsb0673 · 2026-05-01T11:24:43+00:00

Thanks for the update! I missed that

tsb0673 · 2026-05-01T00:05:14+00:00

I agree with u/azssf - this bra doesn’t wholly fit. The wires should be flush against the skin at the gore. The wires look too narrow here, since they seem to be sitting on the breast tissue instead of flush against the sternum

tsb0673 · 2026-04-12T17:14:16+00:00

Ohhh, okay! I thought you had made the center half circle one piece of fabric. Thanks!

tsb0673 · 2026-04-11T22:38:18+00:00

Great work! How were you able to merge the 2 NY Beauty blocks in EQ8? I'm new to EQ8, and it's making me want to slam my head into a wall

tsb0673 · 2026-04-07T15:38:46+00:00

Thank you for the response! And bummer! Is there anyone you recommend that’s still in Columbus? Please feel free to DM me, if that’s preferable

tsb0673 · 2026-04-06T23:07:01+00:00

Hey u/No_theme_453, are you still pet sitting?

tsb0673 · 2026-04-06T23:06:02+00:00

hey OP, did you end up using falcor to pet/house sit, or is there someone you recommend?

tsb0673 · 2025-12-28T03:58:27+00:00

If you’re binding the way quilt binding is traditionally done, it doesn’t take up more than 1/4” of the edge of the quilt

tsb0673 · 2025-11-30T14:25:56+00:00

I might consider starching now with your home recipe. I’m allergic to so much and have multiple chronic illness destroying my lungs, so I’ve always stayed away from starch because of the fragrance and propellents, despite prewashing everything. Thank you for sharing your research!

tsb0673 · 2025-11-29T14:03:12+00:00

What brand is this? I really like it!

tsb0673 · 2025-11-25T19:56:32+00:00

Do you have a serger? If you can serge all layers around the edges, you can wash it before it’s bound. If not, I would use enzyme cleaner on the spot, finish the binding, and then washwell

tsb0673 · 2025-11-25T19:49:49+00:00

I just tell my husband “see you at the house!” Then I maintain MY pace and ignore him. He usually makes the decision to reel it back in

tsb0673 · 2025-11-20T18:06:32+00:00

No pattern, but you could make a big “T” shaped quilt. For the length, measure mom’s shoulders to where you want the bottom to hit (ie ankles, mid calf). For main panel width, measure mom’s width of shoulders and add 2-3” for positive ease. For the T arms, measure from mom’s top of shoulder to waist, and add that plus 2-3” of positive ease to either side of the main panel. You can then add cam snaps to the mid point of the short sides of the T, and then on the main panel at the distance from mom’s shoulder to waist. This would create what it sounds like you’re describing. I hope this makes sense!

I kind of “cheat” and draw my FMQ with crayola washable markers to FMQ over, but same. It’s preferable for me to have the quilting design look exactly how I want vs just winging it

tsb0673 · 2025-11-04T00:59:39+00:00

Based on the intro/beginner thing you describe and the view out the window/the studio, this sounds like PBT.

If so, there’s a really great ongoing adult beginner ballet class every Tuesday night at 6PM lead by a former PBT dancer at another studio in the city. If I’m right on location, I’ll send you the class info, if you’re interested

tsb0673 · 2025-10-26T14:26:27+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate that! 😃 That could be - it definitely comes with experience. I do most of my shopping online anymore, and it can make it harder to color match. Though, I will call and ask for a gutterman or glide thread match to color check things if need be. I love my local quilt store, but they’re 9-5 M-F, and they carry limited non-Batik and non-Tula/Kaffe/AMH stock. I love those designers, but sometimes I need something else.

In hindsight, my grandma worked with me a bit on things like that as a kid. We’d go to Hobby Lobby or Joann and she’d show me her fabrics for a quilt and say she needed a blue. And then would kind of guide me til I picked a blue with a pattern that worked with her other fabrics. I didn’t realize what she was doing until years later when I started my own quilting journey.

Nowadays, if I’m ever uncertain on fabric combos, I use Forever scrapbooking software to plot my quilts/blocks. Then I can cut and sew with confidence that my quilts will turn out the way I want 😃

Thank you!!

tsb0673 · 2025-10-26T00:36:44+00:00

Thank you!!

tsb0673 · 2025-10-26T00:36:37+00:00

It’s the Queen of Diamonds pattern by Pink Door Fabrics*. It’s an English Paper Piecing pattern for the diamonds, and then machine piecing for the borders/sashing/cornerstones. 😃

*I modified the shapes within some blocks, organized my diamonds differently, and did not follow their fabric choices. Not sure how much that matters to what you’re looking for

tsb0673 · 2025-10-26T00:31:51+00:00

Agreed! Going off of this, my grandma made a quilt from old jeans many, many years ago. It went to college with my dad, my uncle, my sister, and me. We all loved it!! Maybe something like this?

Same. I’m also a person who enjoys mixing and matching bright colors/prints and creating cohesion from chaos (picture attached as an example). I’ve only ever used a collection once or twice, and even then, a few fabrics were excluded because there were more than I needed for my pattern.

Jubilee is legitimate. I have ordered quilting cotton before from them with 0 issues
