"OHHHHHH...." he says, looking around, "that's sounds like FUN <eyeroll>" lol
So I've decided I need to be with real people who get excited about fabric and buying new things like clear rulers or who can share my enthusiasm when I learn a new technique, or have that light bulb moment.
I emailed my neighbor who used to belong to a local guild, and who I went with a few years ago but for reasons I don't remember, I stopped going. Hopefully she doesn't hold that against me.
Unless people sew, I can't mention it because they sort of don't want me to keep talking about it, like I've just told them I dropped a house on that witch in accounting, lol. I guess to be exciting I should be running races or remodeling my house or slaying dragons or something.
</eyeroll>After years of being 'amazed !' that not all people share my love of patchwork and quilting I have come to the conclusion that maybe we should be more understanding of the fact that we are all born with different skills and interests . I wish I could find a poem I read years ago voiced by a quilter who just couldn't understand just that point,she was being ironic of course.I can't knit or crochet,wish I could paint better than I do,Heh Ho. The worse thing in my opinion is those people who say -- about any hobby,interest, skill others may have is ''Oh I wouldn't have the time'' implying that of coure they could do that easily, but they are too busy involving themselves with more important things to bother.Just enjoy what you do,I find those who create are more generous and caring people.Love Letty.
