Apparently, this is a movie that I have somehow never seen.
S.I.D. the borders, sashing, blocks.
My customer watched it so many times with her sister that she cannot STAND the movie.
X-hatch the upper and lower green leg lamp fabric.
But her sister LOVES the movie.
Christmas ornaments down the red sashing. Outline and fill the leg-lamp panel, add lines to the lampshade, and curve-x-hatch the fishnet stockings. Stitch along all those crazy circles in the background.
So this year, the sister will have a quilt to snuggle under while she watches the movie.
Outline quilt the words. Background quilted with eyeball-ey style filler. Stitch along the plaids in the narrow yellow border.
That is true, sisterly love.
Outline the pictures, straight lines in the 'word' blocks. More eyeball-ey fill in the green background.
This should be a big hit on Christmas morning.
A special order border - lampshades - for the upper and lower red border.
I can hear you asking (or is it the voices in my head?) "What has her all riled up this week???" Well. We bought a new tv yesterday, to replace our 20-year-old Panasonic 32" GAOO. That tv still worked great, but DH wanted some new technology. As most men do. There was no point trying to sell the old tv, but I am always keen to put stuff out at the road for free. Since that tv is so friggin' heavy, DH and 1-800-LUKE got it onto a pallet, and DH got the tractor with forks (like forklift things) and forked that baby out to the road. I added the sign "works fine" and took the clicker out. Why do I always get the hard jobs??? So, not an hour later there is an old guy and his girl who stop and load this tv into their car. Only they can't really lift it. So they drop it. And smash it to smithereens. And leave that unholy mess in our driveway. Really? Must people be such assholes?
Sigh. The new tv is great, though. And spending several hours with the best. nephew. ever. was a bonus.

It beggars belief really, doesn't it? I love, love, love the way you've quilted this panel Helen, it is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words!
DeleteMy advice, put this movie on your must-watch-this-season list! Especially nice to be cozied up with a nice glass of wine or cup of hot chocolate with the lights low and a nice snack and just enjoy! Right now reading your blog I'm remembering so many funny scenes!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that stressful evening, two nights before Christmas.
