Ah, procrastination!

aw, thanks, hon. the blocks 're wonky. i believe 'tis called 'lazy crazy eights'? i dunno, the youtube thingy said 'twas easy. uhm, nope! would'a been bigger, but i screwed'p 'bout 9 blocks to the point they'd jest not work. sigh... noperz, ya can beat those ol' quilts fer warmth. they used what they'd'n hand most oft. sometimes e'en ol' blankets were used's the battin'. my fav'd be the ol' denim 'n flannel quilts. they weigh a ton, but ya can't beat 'em fer warmth! if'n i survive this'un, i've got 'bout 8 tops to make'n then get those quilted, too. dunno if'n that 'tis a reward? but'll make a dent'n the fabric that seems to jest seep'n through the holes'n the house. this 'twas made from the aunts fabric. i've still 'bout 6 yards 'f various materials from her failed sewin' 'ttempts. i've got 'bout 40 pairs 'f holey jeans torn 'part fer more rag quilts. my ranchin' bud 'twas kind 'nough to donate 'bout 10 more pair. used to i'd the need to go beggin' fer those ol' britches, now folks jest leave'em here'n the porch, lol. i'm purty sure my desire to not leave thingies not completed 'd be due to the hubs. he's hardly finished anythin' here'n o'er 30 years. drives me crazy. perhaps i've lost my marbles 'n hope that me hittin' the finish line'n these quilts'll perhaps get his backside'n gear, so's he'll do the same. can't help ya with that crochet schtuff, tried fer o'er 40 years to learn that'n knittin'. 'lways a disaster. perhaps ya can go 'head'n finish those 'n donate 'em? i'm sure the women's shelter'd be plum tickled to get 'em. 'lways a need fer young'uns schtuff. that's where most 'f my quilts go. they're 'lways so thrilled.

@crazyhorseladycx Glad people are bringing you their old jeans to repurpose into quilts! That's great! I"m fixing to sign off here as this stomach virus that I though I had whipped is back. Grrr.

@kareng me, too, but now i've got piles 'f the danged thingies that need to be fashioned 'nto somethin', lol. which i'll tackle if'n i e'er get this current quilt finished. oh no! please do take care with that bug, hon. sendin' healin' hugs ~

@crazyhorseladycx Just do it bit by bit that is how I do something I don´t care for getting aroiund to. Ironing was something I was forced to do when I was very small afraid I was and are a rebel heart although I did do it hence the dislike for that kind of job now I don´t mind doing it too much.

thanks, hon. ne'er minded ironin', back'n the day most all clothin' needed such. i'd jest put'n some music'n get busy, lol. 'twas 'bout the 'nly time i'd to myself 's the young'uns feared they'd be put to work. yes ma'am, i'll get'er done. got started this morn 'n now'm procrastinatin' rippin' all that out. i've got puckers... totally unacceptable.

@lovinangelsinstead21 i tried to get those stitches out earlier today 'n 'd to jest walk 'way. i confess there's not much i like 'bout this poor quilt. thankfully the aunt's seen 't, thinks 'tis beautiful. ne'er minded ironin' once we got a fancy iron that plugged 'nto the wall, lol. heatin' stones to put'n cast iron irons made 'em purty hefty. lots 'f burn scars, too.

oh, my head swims'n ideas, lol. schtuff that'll most likely ne'er get started. once i start somethin', i've gotta finish 't. drives me a tad o'er the edge to've 'em laughin' 't me, lol.

'tis diff'cult to tend to those thingies, hon. so much sentiment, fear ya might re-home somethin' that'cha later regret. i feel fer ya!

@crazyhorseladycx It will come back to you. I have a little material still here. Donated a lot as I never get the sewing machine out.

thanks. 'twas the aunts fabric from when she decided she could sew. 'n then changed her mind 'fter purchasin' quite a bit 'f fabric. which made 'ts way to my place. i sat down this morn 'n made a disaster. gonna need to get mr. ripper out 'n start 'new. dunno where the puckers came from?? perhaps all the help i'd with the pinnin'?

@wolfgirl569 i went to rip those stitches out earlier 'n 'twas jest so disgusted i jest walked 'way...

me, too! thanks much fer yer kind words, hon. a new pattern that 'twas touted 's 'easy', i found such not to be the case. hopin' the quiltin' helps to hide the wonkiness 'f the blocks, lol. started this morn, found i've puckers...gotta rip that all out so i'm procrastinatin' yet 'gain. i used to keep a purty tidy place. not possible with the hubs here 24/7. i'm down to runnin' the vac 'bout once a week?? which's pitiful coz such needs done daily with critters. dirty dishes i jest can't tolerate. e'en clean'uns hangin' 'round'n a dish drainer, lol. nope, gotta wash/dry 'n put 'way quickly.

@just4him i prolly ought'a run mine one 'f these days, jest to keep the seals workin' proper. 'tis been o'er a year i believe?? if'n i've lots 'f folks to eat, i sometimes use 't. yers must be much quieter'n mine, lol. ah, but'cha aint got a pup, cat 'n a hubs who'll not wipe his feet 'fore comin' 'ndoors :) seems i'm the 'nly capable 'f scrapin' mud 'n junk off my boots there'n the porch 'n e'en then switchin' shoes when i come'n. sigh... job security i reckon?

@crazyhorseladycx I'll run the dishwasher tonight. It's my lullaby. The sound just puts me right to sleep. My place is tidy, though I can't tell you the last time I ran the vacuum cleaner.

I have more patience with online tasks or with learning how to use aspects of Microsoft Office products @crazyhorseladycx I love using a computer.

@rebelann i started out'n puters, many years 'go. got a piece 'f paper'n e'erythin'! 'fter i left corporate america, i'd no need fer such. missin' 8 years 'f technology aint a good thingy. i miss the days 'f dos 'n lan based systems. much easier to navigate.

i've usually the patience 'f a saint, so i've been told anyhow. months 'f not bein' 'lone 'tis squished that purty much i fear. 'tis not the quilts fault, but we still aint made much progress.

@crazyhorseladycx it can be very frustrating

does such not drive ya crazy? i wish 't didn't bother me so, but these thingies haunt my days 'n nights, lol.

@crazyhorseladycx I have the baby quilt my mom made for me.

@jstory07 do ya? oh, what a treasure to've!

aint that the truth? seems the longer ya procrastinate, the more hard feelin's ya've fer the task. 'n thus such keeps gettin' pushed further 'n further from ones 'to-do' list. i tried to start quiltin' this morn, jest to find i've puckers. gotta rip 't all out'n start 'new. sigh...i'm determined though to get 'er done! i've got so many others to make.

@crazyhorseladycx I always find that even the less then perfect choice of material looks all that much better when done up in a quilt or handmade pillow.

@Juliaacv this sure looked better chopped'p, lol. jest not my color palette i reckon. oh well, will get'er done hopefully soon. 't least such'll be warm, eh?

aw, thanks :) not my fav regardin' the fabric (the aunt purchased such), not too happy with how my rendition 'f the pattern turned out either, lol. i miss doin' cross stitch, i hear ya'n how diff'cult doin' those small'uns can be. nearly puts yer eyes out! i got to where i couldn't distinguish the colors well, nor count the tiny holes. now, 'tis most diff'cult to do those thingies 'n needlework period 'tis a task i jest can't manage.

@sol_cee yes, most definitely, e'en with the zippers 'n box corners, lol. sigh...

i'd made her some saddlebags fer her walker which she can take off'n use's a purse if'n she's the need.

@crazyhorseladycx Was that easier to make than the one above?

this poor thingy 'tis been tauntin' me since i finished the top back'n july. i dunno how much 'time out' 't needs?? i jest gotta get'er done. i'm one 'f those who cannot start 'nother 'til this'un 'tis completed. i'm runnin' out'ta time fer my holiday given.

yes ma'am, if'n such e'er gets completed anyhow. she's seen such (can't miss't, 'tis sprawled out'n my dinin' room table which i use to quilt) 'n loves 't. doesn't matter to here when she gets possession.

@Hannihar yes ma'am, whene'er such 'tis finally completed. hopefully 'fore spring, though i'm not gettin' my hopes'p, lol.

@crazyhorseladycx So you can give it to her then and she will be happy with it. I am glad she likes it.

thanks, ms. @CarolDM. i've great hopes to get'er done'n out'ta my house 'fore the next holiday, lol. i've got so many others to make. donated fabrics 've grown my 'stash' to unacceptable.

@crazyhorseladycx It takes time I know. I used to watch my grandmother makes quilts all the time.

i'm not takin' this well. perhaps too much unrest here't my place? drives me crazy, too :(

oh, i used to love doin' those! the hands'll not cooperate these days, so took'p quiltin'. i sure hope yer able to get such finished soon, hon. 'lways makes ya feel good to get'em done.
