Let me try that again---------------------------------I need to tattoo "A quilt on the bed is worth two in the head" onto my arm.

A boarder is someone who pays to live in your home; border is the finishing edge on something: quilt, wall paper, or pictures. Please don't be offended by my comments; I just like to set the record straight.

No one likes a show-off or to be corrected and embarrassed!

I appreciate Carolynjo's comment. I don't know what saying she was talking about but I do like to learn and or keep up with grammar and spelling, etc. It is not easy for me.

I like to learn as well because I'm a fairly poor speller, but to correct people in public is ill mannered.

Here is one for you, if you plan to put buttons or use button fabric on your quilt.
"Press button for maid service. If no one answers do it yourself."
