Sunny skies and we decided we needed to make a house call to Dennis’ nephew, Brett. He had been calling with questions on his quilting projects. I needed to see first hand what was in the works. Dennis was my chauffeur. Brett watches multiple YouTube videos and rewinds them as often as it takes for him to get the gist of the stitch. Brett’s wife Molly works at one of the banks in town. When Molly is home she has threatened to take the multiple rewinds and . . . well you get the idea. One of Brett’s issues were taken care of when Amazon delivered his order of sewing machine needles. 200 machine needles in size 16, and 200 machine needles in size 14. Yes, when a YouTube gives the tip of sewing over stick pins, he takes it as gospel. I must be tuned in to a different YouTube. When Uncle Creepy’s YouTube tip tells me it is a “No, No,” I listen. Brett does need to realize that the quilting projects that he is watching is time lapsed. It doesn’t go as fast in real life. Patience, patience is the best tool a quilter can use.
It was good to get back home and settle in for some stitching on my own turf. I can suggest and I can advise and then we get along to Stauffer Avenue when time seems to stand still in our sewing studio. I say “our” as Dennis has picked up quite a few tips just quietly observing as he plays solitaire.
