My dear. A lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an excess of tears

So many, but Violet always has a zinger! “I’m a woman Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.” Loving dogs, I can also relate to Robert “There is nothing more ill-bred than trying to steel the affection’s of one’s dog.” Was fun looking up quotes. Too many good ones to remember them all! Thanks for sharing your fabrics. They look wonderful. Good-bye to Downton Abbey. Such a wonderful series that will be missed by millions.

Holy smoke! I can’t remember if I entered yet or not!!!! Love, love. love that fabric. I honestly can’t recall a favorite quote but I really watched the show because I love period movies and shows and love to see the fashion.

Isobel: “How you hate to be wrong.” Violet: “I wouldn’t know. I’m not familiar with the sensation.”

I would so love to win this fabric!

never watched DA but the Dowager Countess is such a hoot in the ads. “All this unbridled joy has given me quite an appetite.” Seems to say it all
Thx

Just about any comment made between Granny and Mrs Crowley.

Violet to Isobel: ” you must know by now, I never answer a question more incriminating than whether I need a new rug”
Sad to see Downton end !!!
Jannette B
Isobel: How you hate to be wrong. Violet: I wouldn’t know. I’m not familiar with the sensation.
I LOVE Violet!!! I’m going to miss all of the cast, but especially Violet!

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.

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.

In the second season, Violet said: “I’m a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.” This has become my mantra!

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
