Movie Monday - 4/14/2025

Greetings peeps! Here’s this past week’s movies:

In Shiva Baby, a young woman attends a Shiva and runs into her ex-girlfriend. If that’s not bad enough, her current boyfriend shows up with his wife and baby. She didn’t know about the wife and baby. It was alright. 

The Daytrippers is an old movie starring many good actors - Including Hope Davis, Stanley, Tucci, and Mira and Parker Posey. A woman finds a love letter in her husband’s things. She and her family set off to confront him. I liked it.

In the short, Closing Dynasty, a street wise young girl tries to improve her family’s circumstances. It was cute.

It’s Monday again. And that means movies…

I rewatched An Affair to Remember because it was about to leave Netflix. Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant were magnificent in their iconic roles. A couple who fall in love on a ship agree to dump their current relationships and meet up on the observation deck of the Empire State Building in six months. It’s a classic!

The Life List is about a young woman whose mother has just died. In order to receive her inheritance, she must complete the list she wrote as a thirteen-year-old. It was a little predictable, but sweet.

That’s all for now!

Y’all should see my sewing studio. There’s fabric/pattern combos of things I’d like to make. There’s a couple of started things and there’s almost finished things. And there’s fabric and patterns that are waiting to find each other.

I pieced and quilted this baby at the end of 2023. It has needed a binding since then.  Sadly, the dash got in the way until just recently when I hopped on it.

It’s the companion quilt to the one on the left. Leftie was made in 2016. I had plenty of leftovers from the fat quarter collection to make another. I cut out the rectangles and promptly stored them in the closet.  (There’s still some leftovers.) I needed more fabric for the background and backing, but couldn’t source any like the first. I found some that was close and put it with the rectangles in the closet. And there it sat until 2023.

I have been wanting to make these pillowcases since before Christmas. Last weekend was apparently the time to get them done.

Remember that baseball jersey quilt for The Kid? I’m working on the binding.
