Dash
I'm not usually into these things, but I was taken by the fact that I could be a colon like Tanya, whose blog I stole this off. I immediately thought I would be some part of the gastrointestinal tract, only realising that it was a punctuation thingy when I saw that the colon would get along best with a semicolon. Dissapointing. Is it obvious that I worked in Endoscopy for years?
I'm not sure that I'm a dash though.
You Are a Dash |
 Your life is fast paced and varied. You are realistic, down to earth, and very honest. You're often busy doing something interesting, and what you do changes quickly. You have many facets to your personality, and you connect them together well. You have a ton of interests. While some of them are a bit offbeat, they all tie together well. You friends rely on you to bring novelty and excitement to their lives. (And while you're the most interesting person they know, they can't help feeling like they don't know you well.) You excel in: Anything to do with money You get along best with: the Exclamation Point |
The couch quilt is done, well almost. It needs a little bit of extra quilting I think as there are some unquiltied areas that are a bit big.
I've been thinking about which UFO I will work on next, but really thinking I'd like to start something new. But there is a group building to work on the Civil War Diary quilt, so I'll join in there as I started it ages ago, but it stalled as I'm not too keen on the paper/foundation piecing. It will be good to see how others tackle it, which hopefully will inspire me.
The cricket is on today, so I'll get out the hexagons now and do a bit or work on them. We had a 4 hour blackout last night between 8.30pm and 12.30. What to do? No TV, computer, sewing machine or lights, and no-one to talk to. I sat at the table with the candle on thinking about women who sewed quilts by candle light years ago, and thought 'maybe I'll do a bit of Little House on the Prairie, and keep going on the binding". Hopeless. I did 3 stitches and gave up. How did they do it? So I went to bed with a book and a big torch.
I'll have to do that one!
ReplyDeleteI think I will probably be an exclamation mark, I can hardly write without one.I wouldn't want to be the colon you thought!
Another Clayton's win tonight...the win you have when you really aren't playing well!
I suppose they still count and make it a little more exciting than in some of the recent years.
I love your couch quilt, great colours, Tracey
I really like how your couch quilt turned out! The colors are great!

Love the couch quilt! I'm a comma, yes, I had to go off and do the quiz. Comma fits because I use a lot of them...(though an ellipsis would also fit).
ReplyDeleteI discovered that quilting by candlelight was impossible last week too. Maybe that's why they had quilting bees - during the day and knock over one quilt quickly.
I love your couch quilt...
ReplyDeleteStill love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteI took "the test". I am an exclamation point, apparently I get along well with a dash. :O)
your couch quilt is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow your crossroads quilt is fabulous! worth all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteYour couch quilt came out great. Love the colors! I'm off to see what puncuation mark I am.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they did it, too . . .not only was the lighting poor at best, but they must have been just dog tired from the day's work. I would have gone to bed, too *s*
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm a colon.
I just love your generous Couch Quilt!! I love soft quilts that are made to snuggle under!!
ReplyDeleteI was the upside down comma... I just put that down to being in Oz!!
The couch quilt turned out awesome! Fun quiz - I'm a comma. And yes, I can hardly see in broad daylight let alone by candlelight. Don't know how those pioneers did it, either.
ReplyDeleteI am a comma...a pause? wow, I was hoping for an exclammation mark!! I have enjoyed your lovely couch quilt taking shape.
ReplyDeleteReally glad to hear you are joining us in making the Civil War Diaries quilt. So far we are having a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm not paper piecing any of the blocks yet. The simple ones can be done by simply measuring the shape in the book, adding SA and the rotary cutting the pieces. I know I'll eventually switch to paper piecing when we do more difficult blocks, but this is working just fine for now.
the couch quilt looks great, well done on the finish.
