I had the same reaction when I went into the local hardware store on a quilt guild work day to pick up a roll of painters tape. I had left mine at home. The manly man in the plaid flannel shirt was astonished when the "little lady" wanted painters tape for her quilt. I giggled all the way back to our work location and then we all laughed at his reaction. He by the way got a quick lesson in the sandwiching process and how we "quilters" use many tools not always associated with sewing and quilting. I hope that someday he will show up at our guild and want to learn more.
