How about when friends and even people you hardly know show up at your door with new and recycled fabric!! LOL Just in case you have not seen this poem, I am including it here. I renamed it Wendy's Lament, as my partner is definitely a quilt widow LOL
Wendy`s Lament:
Addicted to Quilting
(Author unknown)
She learned to quilt on MONDAY.
Her stitches all were fine
She forgot to make us dinner
So we went out to dine
She made miniatures on TUESDAY
She says they are a must
They really were quite lovely
But she forgot to dust
On WEDNESDAY `twas a sampler.
She says stippling is fun
What highlights! What shadows!
But the laundry wasn't done
Nine patches were on THURSDAY
Green,yellow,blue and red.
I guess she really was engrossed
Didn`t even make the bed.
It was wall hangings on FRIDAY.
In colours she adores
It never bothered her at all
That crumbs were on the floors
I found a maid on SATURDAY
My week is now complete
Marilyn can quilt the hours away
Our trailer will be neat
Well, it's already SUNDAY
I think I`m about to wilt
I cursed, I raved, I ranted
Cause she taught the maid to quilt!
