  • So frustrating! Reminds me of a set of keys that went missing in our apartment many years ago. Searched everywhere! Days later, DH leaned back in in the recliner and pulled the lever to extend the footrest. When we heard that metal on metal drop, we both jumped to see the keys on the ground. Yes, we’d searched the gaps in the cushion. I’m convinced aliens took them and pranked us by returning them at the moment we found them.


  • Of this list, I only had PDAs. I had a couple of versions of the Palm Pilot. I remember learning the script using the stylus.

    I’m getting closer and closer to my 60th birthday, and still remember my delight at using a mouse on a Mac with one 3.5 inch drive. Inserting and removing program vs storage discs was tedious, but just loving the intuitive interface and how quickly I was able to make the mouse an extension of my hand. So much easier than learning function keys and keyboard shortcuts. And then combining mouse clicks, functions, and keyboard shortcuts to be so much more productive than ever before.

    We still have an original iPod that my husband uses in our basement, and I believe we still have a working Atari game console.



  • Great question! And I do! I haven’t done a Round Robin, and would certainly enjoy it, (I love yours) but here are quilting my quilts social things:

    I love Instagram sewalongs, and just finished the Alison Glass Trinket. I post as @anjnpr. You can see the blocks I’ve done there. Also, my past projects are well documented. It is really fun for me to see how others interpret their designs.

    I’ve taken a few lecture monthly BOM classes. Last year I did The Quilt Show Garden Party Down Under.

    My first retreat this year resulted in a small group of fellow quilter friends who are meeting monthly to just hang out while hand sewing and talking about our projects and other typical chatty things. Four of us are making the Janeen van Niekirk Tiny Houses for entry into our local quilt show next spring as a group project.

    I got brave and entered three quilts in our local show a year ago and two of them received ribbons.

    I love talking about quilts almost as much as making them, and have found that they are a great way to make wonderful friends IRL and online.
