Quilt Wannabuts Results

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm playing another round of wannabuts (things I want to thrift but only for the minimum price) on three different quilts at ShopGoodwill.com which I would like to repair, refurbish and add to my collection.

This scrappy quilt reminded me of one my mother owned; did I win the quilt? Yep, I got it for $7.99 with no challengers.

This row by row outdoors themed quilt needs some repairs, but I was outbid right away on it. The winning bid went for $20.00, which was a bit much considering how much damage there is to be fixed.

I collect double wedding ring quilts, but I don't have a green and white one. The bidding for this ended up in a last minute sniper-fest, in which I did not participate, and the winning bid ended up being $21.00.

One out of three isn't a bad outcome, and I'm happy with the quilt I did win. Stay tuned to see what it looks like when it arrives.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.
