Good Morning, Quilters!
As the Downton Abbey series comes to a close, let’s celebrate the hours of fabulous TV it offered with a GIVEAWAY!
The show had its ups and downs to be sure, but the costumes alone were worth watching for…

Vulgarity is no substitute for wit

The quilter who dies with the most fabric isn’t quilting fast enough.

Or is shopping too fast!

To sew is human to finish is divine

Mrs. Hughes: You’re such an old curmudgeon.
Mr. Carson: Don’t say you’re going off me.
Mrs. Hughes: No. Because you’re MY curmudgeon and that makes all the difference.

I didn’t get to watch the show, so I have to go with something my dad always told me you can be made at your spouse all day but when you’re ready to go to bed always kiss good night and say I love you and keep the bedroom neutral territory. I have done just that and been happily married for 20 years.

I finally watched the last episode yesterday. it was extremely bittersweet- so sad to say goodbye to this series! I’m going to miss the countess and Mrs Pattmore the most. I couldn’t pick a favorite from all their wonderful lines!
Shirley Berryhill
Loved the series, sad that it is over. Make yourself happy, then everything will fall into right place.
Laurel
The Dowager Countess: “It’s good to be in love, whatever age.” That resonated with me as I married the love of my life later in life.

I have only seen the first season but hopefully when I get some time later this month I can watch some more, it is very good! My favourite quote is “First electricity, now telephones. Sometimes I feel as if I were living in an H.G. Wells novel.” — Violet Crawley, S1E7

Violet: “I do think a woman’s place is eventually in the home, but I see no harm in her having some fun before she gets there.”

“Stop whining and find something to do.” (Lady Granthham) Truly, I loved the show and will miss it. Like many others, I loved the clothes, traditions, manners – everything.

I am a woman, I can be as contrary as I choose.
Gloria DeBower
In the second season, Violet said: “I’m a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.” This has become my mantra!
Marcia D
I don’t remember any specific quotes but I enjoyed the overall quips during the show. I DO remember watching the sewing machine being used and the fact that it was powered by electricity. I have a similar antique model with a hand crank attached.
Thanks for you tutorials, craftsy class, and all your inspirations.
Nonie McDevitt
I’m not a lady and I don’t pretend to be one.

I have never watched DA, so I have a sewing quote:
I feel like I should clean the house so I’m going to my sewing room until the feeling passes.
