BTW ~ my whole family love both Zuchinni and yellow squash, in fact, over abundance of both coming out of garden now. Planning on fried squash for dinner tonight :thumbup: :thumbup: |
I learned a long time ago to just do what is necessary so that you can get to the parts you like best. For me the actually handquilting is what I most enjoy. I do the other parts as fast as possible so that I can get to the good stuff.
I love collecting fabric, handling it and planning what to make. I don't take classes unless it is a project I would have done anyway. I rarely participate in block exchanges etc. I don't like to end up with a finished project that I didn't like in the first place. |
The question was "What did you used to hate that you don't hate now??" I USED to hate Zucchini, but it's one of my favorite summer veggies now. I steam small ones with yellow crookneck squash, onions and broccoli. The big older ones that people give me are made into bread and frozen. I have an onion pie recipe that I want to try with zucs, too.
I used to hate marking fabric for cutting or quilting, but don't now since I got my Sewline fabric pencil. It is heavenly and erases like a dream. |

Gail - are you quilting with the dogs up? Mine were dropped, maybe that's the difference?

I am quilting in the ditch with a walking foot. I would think that would be the difference And then you are probably navigating around the tacks to avoid hitting them with the needle. I do try to place the tacks strategically to avoid having them "in harm's way." Thanks for the reply.

I hated the backing part, but since I just make blankets and use fleece. I LOVE IT. NO batting NO binding. YUP easy peasy :D
