    When Helga questioned spending the rest of her life like this, all that remained of her was her charred chair and overturned bench.

    The girls at the finishing school found that if they draped some material on their laps they could text all day long without getting caught.

    So, the two women who aren’t quilting—ones’s doing embroidery, the other is knitting—must be the backups for the main competitors?

    CANDY: Are we sure we want to finish these curtains? I really don’t mind if Tom peeps sometimes. COURVOSIER: YES! If he wants a show he can pay the cover like the other losers who come to Babes On Review.

    The ladies embroidered with pride/ With what skill their needles they plied !/ Yet they all seemed to dread/ the threading of thread/ for they all ended up cross-eyed !

    It’s interesting to see what extraneous objects a painter puts in a picture. What is that robot dog looking thing in front of them, and why the overturned bench/table?

    Since this was at least the fourth trousseau they had worked on, it seemed to be very true, always a bridesmaid and never a bride.

    Orphans in Lübeck is pointed to by the Opere (lista parziale) section of the Gotthardt Kuehl Italian (Italiano) Wikipedia page. If you click its image, More details will take you to the title URL I used to point to in prior comments.

    If you want other than Wikipedia info about the artist, askart has a bio that can be read in full for free on Fridays. This is a different caption repeat of the only work by him, so far, used here.

    has the prior, which while my comment is still there, with the line breaks removed, its 15 hyperlinks remain inactive. ??&@#!#%&!

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2233 (June 30, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.
