An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer. She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her. "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...
Quaint Quality; All Quilts are.... Quite the perfect letter; Quilt, Quilting, Quilt-fabrics, Quilting-Bees.... I love everything Quilt, but I guess you already know that....
ReplyDeleteMy next favorite word with a Q is Quiet. Love that just as much. Quilting in Quietness is my perfect part of the day.
And you make such lovely quilts, too!
DeleteI love the quilt. Did you make it?
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a gift for my son and his bride when they were married almost 3 years ago. Time flies!
DeleteI have discovered that a quilt is a gift that comes with tremendous love. When I was pregnant with the oldest, I took a quilting class and made a baby quilt by hand. I can't imagine anything but love pushing a woman forward in the daunting task of making a bed-sized quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou hand-sewed the baby quilt? That is impressive! I "cheat" and use a sewing machine. :-)
DeleteNo such thing as cheating when using the sewingmachine. It's just as difficult, if not more difficult. You made a wonderful quilt and I hope your son and daughter-in-law love it still as much. I know I do!
DeleteWow! You made that? I find quilting amazing. I just cant wrap my head around it! Its so impressive to me!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. I'm definitely still learning, though.
DeleteThat is really a pretty quilt! I don't quilt but I do admire then from afar.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a frequent quilter, but I do enjoy trying every so (or "sew") often! :-)
Deleteyow! (to me) the combination of patience and concentration that must be necessary to create something like that! ayiiee!
ReplyDeleteI've learned to stop for the day once I get tired, because otherwise I spend more time seam-ripping than sewing!
DeleteMy mom has some beautiful, intricate quilts and quilt tops that were never quilted that were done by my grandmother and my great aunt. My favorite is called, I think Grandmother's Flower Garden. Most of the fabric used was from feed sacks. Quilts are such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I think quilts are even better when they are made by loved ones.
