I do find it a rather cumbersome, clumsy, clunky language now, after having lived in England for over 35 years, attended a couple of good universities here and obtained two degrees. Swedish is my mother tongue, and there are expressions I cannot translate into English because there ARE no translations, quite simply, but I do find it very limiting, most of the time.Anna Borseyhttps://www.facebook.com/anna.borseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-37897974297740947852014-09-21T00:09:55.561+09:002014-09-21T00:09:55.561+09:00That looks very dfficult, but I think it could be ...That looks very dfficult, but I think it could be fun to do it with a friend!Annethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938803180320247229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-55936766135886488842014-09-18T22:26:05.837+09:002014-09-18T22:26:05.837+09:00To tell you the truth, I pricked my fingers a bit ...To tell you the truth, I pricked my fingers a bit this time, too!

The best to practise on is maybe on a wholecloth quilt.<br />I am sure your butterfly quilt will be lovely.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-91074782831025180332014-09-17T23:57:13.523+09:002014-09-17T23:57:13.523+09:00How do you deal with tedious work?

I usually listen to audio books or give myself a 'riddle' (why is my favourite colour purple, if I won on the lottery what would I do, what are the best ways to deal with the summer heat...) Then repetitive work becomes easy and quick. When I am working on something more interesting I will enjoy concentrating on it, and don't want to be disturbed by audio books or philosophical questions.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-21784412078767686972014-09-17T17:55:42.736+09:002014-09-17T17:55:42.736+09:00Now that the date has been added, it has to be fin...Now that the date has been added, it has to be finished this year.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-63218463290717560032014-09-17T17:17:51.283+09:002014-09-17T17:17:51.283+09:00lots done this week Queenie, your initials and t...lots done this week Queenie, your initials and the year beautifully stitched.
