Thanks for asking

Hi My name is Jodie and I am a novelty sewer .

I am unwilling to commit to projects that take longer than two days to at least "look finished"


I do not understand projects that involve more ironing than sewing


I do not like projects that require special equipment


I do not like having to remove special equipment (see above) from sewing machine every time I give up on the "big" project to tackle something do-able.


I do get bored with the same fabric after about 3 hrs.


I do not understand chopping up about 300 m of fabric to sew it back together into something only 2m in size.


I hate basting


I hate pinning


I hate exactness

I embrace the wonky

I hate enormous things that require rearranging my house just so I can lay them out to look at them.


I hate that no-one told me that just winging it is not actually a bona-fide quilting term....because it is a totally STUPID thing to do.

Yeh, so the quilt is coming along nicely, thanks for asking. No it doesn't take much time. Just a few minutes here and there. Yes I have only done one third, yes I haven't even laid out the other two. Yes I am sure I know what I am doing, so what if I have never done the quilt- as-you-go thingo before. Oh no, it's no problem to just make up a pattern, I really enjoy a challenge, Oh yes that's right, I will get so much enjoyment and self fulfillment when this is finished...........I mean ...I will....won't I? You know just like childbirth.....you never remember the pain afterwards.
