This is (mostly) a rant!!! from Sew Preeti Quilts

Warning - this is a rant. Proceed at your own risk.

I had neither the time nor the desire to write this post. But I had to because I was so seething with anger and disgust. And if not here then where else?

Let's call her Auntie Marilyn. I am so tempted to use her full name, but I am not going to. Because I am better than that.

Let's start at the very beginning. The year was 2015 when Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company shared this tutorial on youtube. You can buy the pattern Double Square ...

Leela from Sew Preeti Quilts

One week before Christmas

Me: If Dan has no other plans, ask him to join us for dinner on Christmas Eve.
Paul: Will do.
Me: Do you know what you want to eat?
Paul (excitedly): Let's get Chinese...like in Christmas Story.
Me (realistically): Are you sure Dan will be OK with it?
Paul: I dunno.
Me: Let's just do the regular turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes etc. We can do the Chinese for New Years, when it is just us.

Me: How much?
Paul: $50 for turkey ...

Hunting for the Hunter (Green) from Sew Preeti Quilts

Here is a picture of my stash yardage - most of it at least.
Can you find Hunter Green?

My Stash

No. Cause we don't get along.

I love the grassy greens of the fresh cut grass.
I love the fluorescent greens that sparkle.
I even love the jewel tones of the emerald green.
Bring me your Jade, Pea-Soup, Parrot, Peridot, Avocado, Lime and Apple greens.

May Blocks - Project#2 for RSC 2020

But I draw the line at Hunter Green and Forest Green. They are dark and depressing.
