Just a laugh about fabric
#21
I have a non-sewing one. My sister's name is Anita (nickname Nita) and mine is Lynda (nickname Pynda). My younger brother came home from kindergarten one day where he had learned about Columbus's ships - the Nita, the Pynda, and the Santa Maria. He thought it was cool they had named the first two ships after his sisters.

This isn't quilt related, but when my youngest daughter was small she liked to help me make "dead old eggs". couldn't figure what she meant until it hit me- deviled eggs. We still laugh about it.

My husband still talks about a friend, when he was a kid, who talked about "the seven old Indians." Turns out, he meant Seminole! We still chuckle when we pass Seminole St. in our town.

I learned the flat felled seam AND the French Seam in Home Ec. I still use the French Seam when making pillowcases, but I sew my 1st seam at less than 1/4 inch, more like 1/8 inch. I used the felled seam when making clothing for my son when he was a little fellow.

This thread has me laughing, a good laugh!! When my daughter was young the song Cherish You by Mark Wills came out and when she sang it and got to the part of Cherish You she thought he was say 'share a shoe' and that how she sang it.
