Asking a quilter to mend is like asking Picasso to paint a garage.

(author unknown) My feelings exactly when my DH asks me to mend something for him. :shock:

I always thought that is normal...

actually, I possess a mug that says "Quilters Don't Do Buttons"

there is an exception though. I do my husband's buttons. He rarely asks anything and I'm too cheap to give the money to the tailor!

I might be crazy but I have always enjoyed ironing. Have done it for pay when we were stationed in Germany. I heavily starched Army fatigues for 22 years now dress shirts every week. And all my clothes. So its been almost 38 yrs. I couldn't the last 2 months because of a ruptured Achilles tendon and had surgery. My foot would swell and hurt so bad, but now I have extensive therapy, so I sit on a big stool and prop my foot on a chair. So as you can see, I am a crazy die-hard iron-er. My DH is still buggy my to let him take everything to the cleaners.I hate to spend[my fabric] money on it.

I don't know which is worse. Having to iron the shirt or look at DH wearing it because he put it on wrinkled an would not take it off so I could iron it.

I know the feeling - says she who's ironing basket is untidy and overflowing, but who's fat quarters, yardages etc. look so neat and pretty, washed and ironed immediately they're touch dry.

I agree. I'll spend all day sewing and when my husband gives me is jacket with a button to sew on I hand him the needle and thread.
