    Signature quilt on tv

    I'm a fan of that show called Pawn Stars and today I had it on.
    On the show a man whose last name was Hanna (of Hanna-Barbers fame?) and he wanted to sell a Signature quilt.
    From what I saw, that's all it was, signatures, of well known people. They mentioned the signature of the person who was Fred Flintstone which makes me think of the Hanna-Barbera connection.

    But only some of the signatures were real signatures of the people, them returning a piece of fabric to the quilter. Some were just copies from paper that had the signature on it.

    Rick, that's the guy that owns the pawn shop said he couldn't even put a price on it, so he did not get it. He mentioned that probably the best way to sell it was to cut it up and sell the signatures separately but made the comment that he would be able to do it, he would hate cutting it up.

    He suggested maybe an auction house that specializes in movie items might help him

    So I just did a little googling and found this

    Funny, no where does it mention some of the signatures are copies

    You know that feeling when you've finished all your quilting projects and your studio is perfectly clean???? Me neither.

    It's not how fast you sew, it's how well you sew fast! Wait, I think that's supposed to be MOW!

    Well, at least Rick was honest and didn't try to get it for a song. I hope the seller gets some serious cash for it!
    People who start projects and never finish them are cooler
    than people who never start projects at all.

    I am too POSITIVE to be doubtful, too OPTIMISTIC to be fearful and way to DETERMINED to be defeated.
