Stop whining and find something else to do.

“What’s a weekend?” Thanks for the give away!

So sad the show is over and I will never forget one quote, “What is a weekend?” There are so many great quotes. I am taking a Downton Abbey quilt class and can’t wait. What a great way to end an incredible show.
Vicki
“We’ll all need our smelling salts in a minute.” Thanks for the chance to win!

when reason fails, use force! Yup, Dowager Violet from last night’s finale.
Judy Donnelly
I can’t remember the exact quote but it was last night!! “As Papa used to say,”If _____ fails to work, use force.”
I am sort of sweetly melancholy this am… Happy that everyone at Downton has a positive future, but sad that I won’t be part of it.
Louise
I have to agree with Suellen, “Does it ever get cold on the moral high ground?”
Anne
“At my age, one must ration ones excitement”! She sure has so many witty and funny lines.
Cheri Barker
Being retired…”What is a weekend?”
Claudia
It’s the job of Grandmother’s to interfere!
Jan Rogers
The Dowager…of course…”Sometimes it’s good to rule by fear.”. Great idea for a contest!
Sandy
“The business of life is the acquisition of memories”. ?
YANICKA
Of course it would happen to a foreigher. No englishman would dream of dying in someone else’s house 🙂
Kim
Lady Mary- a monkey could type out the bible if you let it.
Karen
“You are quite wonderful the way you see room for improvement wherever you look. I never knew such reforming zeal.” Isobel: “I take that as a compliment.” Violet: “I must’ve said it wrong.”
Brenda
I truely have never watched Downton Abbey, so I offer the ancient “a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.”
Floy Heidenreich
I have never watched the show. Maybe someday on Netflix I will “binge watch” it. So My favorite sewing quote is “Finished is better than perfect” We put so much pressure on ourselves to make ‘the perfect quilt’ that sometimes we never finish or perhaps even attempt making them. Just enjoy the journey.

“What’s a weekend?”
Linda Thompson
Now you’re your happy….perhaps you will be nicer again.
Cathy Tremblay
“Stop whining and find something to do”. Sew of course.
Connie in Florissant
I am a woman Mary I can be as contrary as I choose
I don’t think there could be a better quote than that
Darlington Delights
Dowager Countess, “One should never admit a guest until the date of departure is set.”

Finally Mary did the right thing and embraced her sister! Sister’s have secrets!
Sarah C
Great giveaway. love Dame Maggie Smith. ” Stop whining dear and find something to do”
Anna Morin
I am afraid that you have read somewhere that rudeness in old age is amusing, which is quite wrong
Karen Sears
Cora words,” I think the more adaptable we are, the more chance we have of getting through”. These words ring true in all our lives.
Judy
The Dowager “I’m a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.” Of course Mrs. Patmore had some good ones too!
Wendy
I’m so sorry to see it end! Here is my favorite quote…Mrs. Patmore: “Daisy, what’s happened to you? I said you could go for a drink of water, not a trip up the Nile.
Denise Mohler
Mrs. Hughes: “You can always hold my hand if you need to feel steady.” Carson: “I think I will hold your hand. It’ll make me feel a bit steadier.” (Season 4)
Shirley Swenson
If life gives you scraps, make a quilt!
Judy
I am a woman. I can be as contrary as I choose to be. Thanks for the opportunity. Would love to win, as would all!!
Joy
The Dowager Countess was the leader of quotes. One of my favorites: “Principles are like prayers. Noble of course. But awkward at a party.”
The series has ended far to soon. Thank you for the fabulous giveaway.
Rosemaryflower
All of the quotes shared above are some of my favorites as well. 😀
Downton Abbey was a great series. I loved the final episode last evening. I am really pleased how the writers managed to get every little matter “sewn up” in the last season.
There were so many wonderful and funny quotes. So many!
I particularly loved the ones coming out of Mrs. Patmore, ….. as well as Mr Carson – well, many of the down stairs peeps.
Mr. Carson: “We shout and scream and wail and cry, but in the end we must all die” and Mrs. Hughes responds “Well, that’s cheered me up. Thank you. Now I’ll get on with my work.”
Mrs Patmore:
Mr. Carson: Has tea gone up?
Mrs. Patmore: Not yet, O Great One.
Mrs. Patmore: Ooh, I like that Rudolph Valentino. Oh, he makes me shiver all over.
Mr Carson: What a very disturbing thought.
Mary
Does it ever get cold on the moral high ground?
susieqmcf
It has to be “What’s a weekend?” Delivered as only the Dowager Countess could deliver it!!!!
Margaret Duke
This is a quote I picked up from Bonnie Hunter: “If a piece of fabric is still ugly, then you haven’t cut it small enough.”
Tessa
The Dowager’s “Tell me…..does it ever get cold on the moral high ground?”
vandekge
“Does it ever get cold on the moral high ground?” Cousin Violet to the Dowager Countess. Oh, I will miss that show. ger.vandekleut@gmail.com
Nancy Sojka
“She’s so slight a real necklace would flatten her.”
McG
Gotta go classic. “What’s a weekend.”
Jennifer Wiltrout
“Stop whining and find something to do.” I’m sure if they weren’t royalty it would have been quilting. Thanks for the chance to win this fantastic giveaway.
Kathi
I haven’t watched much Downton Abbey so I’ll give you my favorite saying. I think it’s time for a F. A. R. T. (Fabric acquisition road trip).
Denise
From the Dowager when asked if Cousin Isobel was entitled to put up an argument, the Countess Dowager replies,”Of course she’s entitled to put up an argument, she’s just not entitled to win it!”
jimcasmom
“They sometimes ask why the English are the way the are. I think it’s the weather.” Not an exact quote but close to what she said.
Connie of Surprise
On why are the English the way they are the Dowager Duchess says “it’s the weather”
Kathy Hughes
“The business of life is the acquisition of memories”.
Karen Holt
Golly Gumdrops! (Lord Grantham) and “You’re a coward Mary, like every bully you’re a coward!” (Tom Branson)
I love the show and the fabric! Thanks for the giveaway!
Mary
As with choosing fabric, there are so many fabulous ones from which to choose. “I am a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.” – or anything else Violet says. Thanks for a great contest!!!
Marilyn Hefffelfinger
Of course it would happen to a foreigner, no Englishman would dream of dying in someone else’s house.
Sheryl
Lord Grantham – “Golly gumdrops!”
