Latest quilt. The light colors do not photograph well and it looks better in person.
Gee, I quilt, I knit, and I mow the lawn; if only I weren't so cantankerous and would learn to cook again, I would make a man a good wife. (Snort.)

@Gwendolyn2018 OK, it will be gorgeouser!
No problem. I love cooking. Not too hot on washing the dishes, though.

@Gwendolyn2018 Nothing a dunking tool couldn't fix. 
@Gwendolyn2018 But the occasional application of a "dunking tool" in the presence of ginnungagap might mollify you a little. Worth a try?
"make a man a good wife" - why spoil a good friendship with benefits by marrying?
No cooking is a worrying sign though - cooking for self is the second indication of the value of self worth. Your oven can be replaced with a circular glass convection oven for about $US30 new or about $10 at garage sale.

The quilt pattern says a lot about you. Your design or choice?
Blue is reputed to be the colour to be loved for.
@Gwendolyn2018 lol, you have an oven! Disappointed that you did not enquire as to the first indication - it is hygiene which includes preventing obesity.
If you do not eat pig you do not need the convection cooker (it consistantly crisps pork crackling). Try #TurkeyLiver for a very healthy food.
@Gwendolyn2018 I forgot your vegetarianism - my lack of intense interest rather than declining memory function. 
As for turkey - you've admitted to chicken consumption, turkey is related. The hashtagged article explains some of the taste & texture values. If you have never tried it rejecting something out of hand is not intelligent imo.
@Gwendolyn2018 therein lies the error of thinking. As stated in my article, oganic turkey liver does not have the flavour of beef or sheep liver. I prepare it with no added spices or herbs other than salt & pepper and prefer it very rare.
I once served it to conservative offal hating elderly Australian country women who like you pooh-poohed the thought of eating it. Most came back for a second helping.
@Gwendolyn2018 And I have not forced you! You can still say no and prove what you are, can't you? You seem to wish to deny me my opinion!
@Gwendolyn2018 Lol, exactly.
The quilt is lovely but that bed is MARvelous!! Is it an antique?

Snort indeed! . That is a work of great accomplishment and skill, well done...find a man who’ll do all the cooking and then it’ll be “quid pro quo” !

@Gwendolyn2018 Wise girl!
WOW! Quilting's such an old art form....lovely to see you keeping it alive! It's an interesting, very non-traditional pattern and that's exactly how quilting styles evolved...through talented people like yourself!
You know you needn't change anything.....let's have a motto.....CANTANKEROUS WOMEN RULE!
We can start a club! I'll join!

@Gwendolyn2018 My ex wife was a quilter. Made some beautiful ones over the years, mostly as gifts. She made one for my son and his wife using his and my two grandsons toddler T-shirts. 
@Gwendolyn2018 My dear Aunt Helen was a quilter who got a small group together. They made quilts for the homeless! Since she lived in Wyoming, they were very much needed! Just a thought.
This is my favorite of yours so far. I like everything about it. Good work, keep it up. I enjoy the pictures, thanks.

@Gwendolyn2018 I thought I would stop with that joke. Stale as it was.
@Gwendolyn2018 I knew that all along. I wanted you to know that I though they were nice enough to hope to own one. I knew thatI would not get one since you do not know me that well and you also have a number of others that you should be giving them to. Not some long haired hippie that lives some many miles away who is happily married. You have a sense of humor and I thought I would experience it. Thanks for just being there. Keep up the good work.
Nice colors ♥️ U don’t need to make a good wife for nobody . But u know that

@Gwendolyn2018 I've always WANTED a "wife"....the kind of partner I was raised to be.
@Gwendolyn2018 Haven't read that but I'm sure we share some of the same ideas.
@Gwendolyn2018 THANKS! Although I'd treat MY wife much better than she describes!
Enjoy being online again!
