Ten On Tuesday

Ten Things I Wish I Knew How To Do.

1. Ice skate.  It is true, I am a board hugger in a rink.
2. Machine quilt.  I am working on that one.  I may be to old a dog for this new trick, we'll see.
3. Conquer procrastination.
4. Grow, not out (I know how to do that), but up.  You know, five feet would be so.cool!
5. Dance.  Like ballroom and latin, the cha-cha and waltz and samba and quick-step and jive and jitterbug...... and real dancing that people go to see.
6. Use my camera the way it is meant to be used.
7. Do a flip off of a diving board.  I could never manage that one, not coordinated enough.
8. A chin-up.  Well, I know how to do one, my body just doesn't go up when I try.
9. Get by without sleep.
10. Turn back time.  Maybe that could be my super-power.

And because I'd rather not post without a picture, another quilt.  Brings up another thing I wish I knew how to do.  Quilt like this Kathy Whelan.

 

 

One hundred fifteen. Or day SEVENTEEN!  You know, when posting often or everyday it is great to have a theme for certain days.  Takes the pressure off, right?  No thought involved, right?  Then why do I spend so minutes, hours, DAYS trying to come with ten things?

I wish you lived closer. You could take a class at Saftler's on machine quilting. I did and it made all the difference for me.

That quilt is amazing and I have no doubt in your ability to do the same.

I'm with you on #3 and #9... would go a long way toward the rest of the list!!

I'm with you on #1,#3,#5 and #6. #10 would be nice too. That's a beautiful quilt! Is that quilt show still on or an old one?

[Renee]

No such thing as an old dog that can't learn. Woof.

If you ever get the chance to take a machine quilting class with Diane Gaudynski, do it! She'll get you going with panache in no time.

You can get machine quilting. And stop with that too old crap or I'll come over there with my weird skin and gray hair. You DO NOT want that.
