Default value

The Quilt in a day's website Is selling glasses that have red lenses, to help determine value of a fabric. They have a short video that explains value, with lots of examples, a very informative video
It helps me, so wanted to share in case there is anyone else with a problem in determining value.

Imagine everyone else in the quilt shop wearing these funny glasses! A new fashion trend!

I just got a pair of these from Quilt in a Day that I intended to put in my DD's stocking. But when they came, I decided I should keep them for myself! Wonder what kind of attention I'd get if I wear them to my LQS or maybe JoAnn's ...

Probably not nearly as much attention as QuiltnNan would get if she wore her vase on her head!
(OMG, I'm picturing someone at the LQS with a vase bonnet, including flowers!)
(Sorry, when my injured brain travels, sometimes I just follow to see where it goes)

I have a pair of red glasses. Just don't wear them when you are driving.

You made me laugh out loud. I have the same 'problem', I immediately 'see' weird pictures of something I hear or read.
Just enjoy it, I certainly do (although it's sometimes hard to explain when I start grinning and I am with someone who's brain doesn't have the same 'sence of humor' LOL)
