quilting share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email like loading categories blog facetfully quilting tags quilting safe with me published on december 31 2017 by valrightnow 2 comments this post is from november 19 2016 i have wondered about paper piecing for a while now but frankly could not get my mind around it when i saw the pattern for the safety pin safe with me i knew this was the one i wanted to try and so i delved in image valorie webster first let me thank craftsy and the night quilter for providing the free pattern i consider myself to be pretty crafty and a good sewist since i have been sewing for about 50 years that said paper piecing took me some serious thought and this pattern is not exactly the easiest one to start with after watching a couple of tutorial videos i decided to just go for it i am happy with the result i love the white pin signifying purity of heart and thought to me and the bright kaffe fassett print the colors representing the wide variety of people that the new to the usa symbol represents i do not choose to make this a political post so here are a couple of tips from a newbie at paper piecing choose a simple pattern to start with print your pattern on light weight paper if you can do use a smaller stitch length but also do remember that if you have to rip out a seam those tiny stitches are a challenge the voice of experience as with all new things give yourself permission to learn rome was not built in a day take it slow and steady think about the process 3 above only came about because i got in a hurry and thought i had it all figured out slow and steady wins the race so here s to trying a new project stretch yourself in different ways it will expand your horizon share this email a link to a friend

starch your published on july 16 2017 by valrightnow 4 comments ha gotcha didn t i i could call it stretch your dollars but this was more fun well if you are a quilter or love to iron things to a nice crisp finish i am blogging about something i have been wanting to try for a long time everyone i mean everyone knows how nice mary ellen s best press is i love it too we all also know there is a plethora of info on pinterest some time ago i saved this post about quilter s moonshine and finally tried it this morning maybe because i used my last spritz of best press and didn t have a backup woe is me the recipe calls for starting with a gallon of distilled water but i wanted to test it out first so cut the recipe down using only 1 4 of the ingredients the very expensive ingredients not use the cheapest vodka you can find i used 4 cups distilled water i actually used filtered water 1 8 cup 2t starch and 1 4 cup vodka the result is a little on the cloudy looking side so i put it to the test no sticky residue on fabric or iron the finish is a bit softer than best press but that would only mean adding a bit more starch to your recipe for your personal preference just look how much it makes if you are frugal and want to give this a try i am thinking you will not be unhappy with the result i pay 9 95 if not on sale for one bottle of the great best press i am not knocking it at all this concoction which i do not plan to drink by the way was just a few cents for this batch happy quilting happy pressing i will post if i have any further results to share share this email a link to

by valrightnow 2 comments flowers from israel valorie webster we have just returned very exhausted from the travel after spending nearly a month in israel and greece i looked through over 1000 images to find one to depict my feelings this morning i decided on these flowers it takes me a while to sort through all the feelings i have after these trips but today i want to say that i am grateful we have so much in our country some more than others as in every country our worst days pale in comparison however to people who have lived their entire lives with religious wars homes lost all retirement funds stripped away and more yet they continue most with relative happiness if i write more blogs regarding this trip there will be mixed emotions and differing opinions than you may have that is okay what i know for myself is that world travel points out all our differences and all our similarities flowers seem to find a way to bloom everywhere may we be at peace share this email a

2017 by valrightnow 4 comments my daddy and me 1953 ninety three is a ripe old age but he didn t make it he died in 2003 at age seventy nine but i think he would say he lived life his way and as well as he could can one wish for more my father would be celebrating ninety three years of life today i miss him he was many things but always daddy to me it seems that people either loved him or hated him it also seems that he felt the same about most people does that make him any different than most of us i really want to tell his story but it is like swiss cheese or a bucket full of holes or a cake that i didn t remember to burst the air out of before baking this was his favorite kind of cake heavy and he taught me to drop the pans flat on the counter so the air bubbles would rise and burst his story all falls to pieces or just doesn t fit together in the first place as it turns out those holes existed in his heart and he died with them it would be his story to tell but for the most part he never did yes we heard some stories good bad and ugly from his childhood on through his life but it seems he kept some things secret and it actually has created some holes in my heart now those places in my heart are not so much about what he told or didn t tell what he did or didn t do but about the pain he held inside and how much freer he might have been if he had shared more how much would he have been judged i doubt more than he was judged by some anyway i know that what i have learned has only made me understand him better it confirms my feeling that secrets only hurt sooner or later when harold watson smith was born on april 4 1924 or so says his birth certificate though that is another story he began a life in the hills of west virginia outside charleston he was the 10 th child i have been able to document with two more brothers to come along after him he said there were more i began work on a family tree in 2002 and he was very clear that he didn t want me to search his line being so much like him he had to have known that to say those words was like throwing a bone for a dog i would be off on the search yes being stubborn is genetic i lived across the country and would continue to call and talk and ask questions he began to open up bit by bit and told me some things one big item being that he never knew who his father was and that had left a huge hole in his heart i will always remember him telling me that at any rate he finally agreed to tell me all he knew when we could sit down together face to face and talk unfortunately not too long thereafter he had a massive heart attack and died i did get to his bedside before he passed but was certainly not going to talk genealogy then he was not able to say much at that point anyway so began my journey into his history i was going to fill that gap that existed for him i was on a mission indeed my mom s line would have to wait as i knew those folks already and had some sources for searching daddy s story needed to be discovered after years of research and two trips to west virginia with my sister and brother i can say i have learned more and yes i have found some darkness it exists in all families by the way now what i wonder is if it is right for me to tell his story i have shared my suspicions with many i have had some confirmations and been left with more holes in other places personally as mentioned i find the information revealing and interesting but is it my story to tell i am ruminating on that it is part of my heritage but he didn t want some things told he just didn t tell me what those things were so today i will say happy birthday daddy i love you i always did and i miss you more of this story to come sometime perhaps share this email a link to a friend opens in

if you read the parade magazine on sunday wherever you live you may have seen a little article this week sunday with tony bennett as he is turning 90 years old the final question was what are your thoughts on turning 90 his reply i m happy to be alive i think the greatest gift you could have is to witness your life on earth to me that was profound how many of us actually witness our lives how many of us just move from moment to moment event to event thought to thought without really seeing hearing feeling absorbing those things dictionary com defines witness as a verb used with object 1 to
