What I do until two.

Mon Jan 21, 2008, 11:28 PM
I just finished making another cushion cover. If I could make a deviant of my sewing work it could be viewed by the world, but I suppose it isn't art, so said world misses out.
Good sewing truly is an art; for this project I conceived of the idea, designed the pattern, created the quilt blocks for the second, lovingly and meticulously stitched it all together...

Sigh.

While Cake may take me to the end of school project all-nighters, when the clock strikes three on me being a seamstress, Grateful Dead is the band of choice. This, combined with the fact that I a) used mostly scraps of my grandmother's old flannel, b) got the idea from Quakerness (PoHo), and c) actually now have furniture made out of mismatched cushions and a crazy tapestry, doesn't help me along my quest to distinguish myself from the hippie stereotype

I seem to be rambling, so I'll close with a description of my masterworks. The cushions are fabric covers for "nufoam" pads, 22*22*4 inch. The first one is hideously magenta with flowers, the second quilted blue and white versions of the same Lanz of Salzburg print, and the last is a print of assorted shades of deep blue. I figured out how to give it a shape by using separate pieces for the top, bottom, and sides. My tool of the trade continues to be a hand-me-down singer featherweight and a good old needle and thread.

Let me assure you artistic nonbelievers, cushion making is an art, and these are the epitome of aesthetics meets funtion.

Wow, I haven't checked this in ever, and I totally do need to post some cushion photos. I covered one in a sheet I tie-dyed. Again, I seem to be having a hippie problem there.
:iconaquablast:
Ok guys, this truly is freaky, the
Phone literally rang as soon as I read
The last word of this email!!!!!













I am taking the bait -
What do I have to lose right?

















Hope it works!

















Supposedly The Phone Will Ring
Right After You Do This.

















Just read the little stories and
Think of a wish as you scroll all
The way to the bottom. There is
A message there - then make your
Wish.















No attachment on this one.

Stories

















I'm 13 years old, and I wished
That my dad would come home from
The army, because he'd been having
Problems with his heart and right
Leg It was 2:53 p .m.. When I made
My wish. At 3: 07 PM . (14 minutes
Later), the doorbell rang, and
There my Dad was, luggage and all!!





I'm Katie and I'm 20 and I've been
Having trouble in my job and on the
Verge of quitting. I made a simple
Wish that my boss would get a new
Job. That was at 1:35 and at 2:55
There was an announcement that he
Was promoted and was leaving for
Another city. Believe me...this
Really works!!!









My name is Ann and I am 45 years
Of age. I had always been single
And had been hoping to get into a
Nice, loving relationship for many
Years. While kind of daydreaming(and right after receiving this email)
I wished that a quality person would
Finally come into my life. That was at
9:10 AM on a Tuesday. At 9:55 AM
A FedEx delivery man came into my
Office.He was cute, polite and
Could not stop smiling at me. He
Started coming back almost everyday(even without packages) and asked me
Out a week later . We married 6
Months later and now have been
Happily married for 2 years.

What a great email it was!!

















Just scroll down to the end, but
While you do, think of a wish.
Make your wish when you have completed
Scrolling. Whatever age you are, is the
Number of minutes it will take for your
Wish to come true. Ex.you are 25 years
Old, it will take 25 minutes for your wish
To come true).
















However, if you don't send this to
People in 5 minutes, you will have bad
Luck for years!!

Go for it!!!
!









SCROLL DOWN!!!!

HI ANNE!

I cannot love as I have loved,
And yet I know not why;
It is the one great woe of life
To feel all feeling die.
