Word of the Day - Use it in a sentence
Here's a new amusement to lighten your day and make you sound even smarter than you already are!
I will post a word of the day. You are challenged to use it in a sentence. If you can manage to use it in a quilting related sentence - you will win the admiration of all on the board.
Today's word of the day is Remora (REM-er-uh)
I'll go first.
My quilt top keeps slipping and I can't find my clamps, but the remora is really helping out.

Great idea Kristyna! I would have used remora so badly, as I guessed definition #1. My remora today was my computer today, as it piloted me over 6 hours to learn to post a picture. Obviously, I still don't have it down right, but I was successful. Now to have some remora for supper. Isn't fish good for the brain? lol m

I cannot wait until my children make enough money that they don't have to behave as though I were a shark and they were remora....(and those of you who know me, know that is even a play on words with my last name HA!!)
