The fuzzy, linty, itchy fluff that comes off minky. Every time I use minky, I vow it will be the last time, then I feel it and imagine how it would feel on a new baby quilt.

All of the above and rude, uncaring, self center people who think they know the 'right' and 'only way to do something.

Things I would get rid of are those things called "should dos, must dos and have tos." Then there would be time to enjoy the want tos!

Sometimes that isn't you. The person writing the directions has no idea of how to write clearly and how to go from step one to the end.

Oh, I so agree with this one. Just tried a class last week involving 2 "special rulers". Hated it, seemed everyone else liked it, must have been me. This was my second attempt with specialty rulers and what I learned in class is that it is not for me. Please just tell me the size blocks I should cut!

Overpriced fabric and thread! And sewing machines that are too fussy about thread.

I don't think anyone would walk away with them, but it hurts that she doesn't care enough to bring them up, and put them away .. The nice part of it, is that the labels are showing, and everyone can see that I made them for her kids..

Quilt pattern designers who don't know the first thing about copyright laws,but,think they have the right to tell anyone that buys their pattern what they can and cannot do.

Oh just like a store brought quilt!
No it is BETTER!
I clean up my mess at the end of each project. If you don't like my mess don't look at it. I clean my chair of it threads when it doesn't roll anymore.
I think I am going to make a sign that reads enter at your own risk project in process pins on floor
