Today I brought in my quilt top to show my co-workers and boss that I'm making for my DGD (who is due any day now).

He looked at it and asked me if all those little squares had to be sewn together... I told him yes they did.

His reply ... "Just another sign you're crazy" and walked out of my office.

I cracked up.

How about you...have you been told you're crazy?

More times than I can count!!
Must be a good thing, I love the company of quilters!! :roll:

TOO FUNNY

we're not crazy, just creative! The fabric wasn't right when it was all one piece of "the same" ~ we improved it by putting it back together "right" haa haa LOL

No... this is why we are NOT crazy.

I don't call that crazy, I call it creative. Yes I have been told many times I'm crazy. I am working on a quilt that is about to drive me crazy :-)!!

Husband said that too. He can't understand why someone would want to cut up fabric and sew it back together again. He says, "Why not just buy the patterned blanket you want to begin with?" He hasn't got a clue.

Countless times! But, at least I'm in good company. I think all quilters must be a tad be off the wall! If we aren't when we start, we soon will be! LOL!

All the time! You know, when you live in the South, we don't hide our "crazy" family members. We bring them out for everyone to see. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Many times! We're not crazy, just very creative! Sometimes intensely so! :)

I had an ex-BF that said he could not understand why someone would go out and buy perfectly good material, cut it up into little pieces, then turn around and sew it back together again. He just didn't understand. If that makes me crazy, then so be it.

lol... now this cracked me up again... so much for the eye makeup today

over and over and over again :lol::lol::lol:

I have learned from the many times I have heard it.. it is one of the highest forms of a compliment!

Too funny!

Did you tell your boss this is what keeps you from going crazy?? *LOL* it's our therapy!! My Mom used to tell me "I was just as happy as if I had good sense" Maybe that was a nice way of saying I was crazy?? Linda B.

That's pretty much what my dad said when I showed him a design I was working on. "Do you have to sew all those little squares together?" He might have thought I was crazy but he didn't say it. Guess that's because he's my dad. LOL

Oh yes. I made a miniature quilt for a swap. It was 12"x12" and had over 600 pieces. When she took it to her quilt group to show one woman told her I must be insane, LOL!

Absolutely, especially by my husband. LOL

OMG... 600 pieces in a 12 x 12.... okay, I'll have to agree with the insanity one.... WOW .... I'm stuttering with my fingers. You got any pictures of that??? (the 12 x 12, not my fingers, lol)

how many signs do they think i need to becertifiable!!!!

i do good with normal blocks with normal # of pieces...??!!! i'm with.. i wanna see pics!!!! and their straight jacket!!!!

Perhaps he is just a tad jealous that you can and did do it.

I know i'm crazy, I like being around crazies.

Lol, yes, but not as far as quilting goes hahahaha :D:D

I got this job coming up on 10 yrs....

My last name begins "HUT"

The name plaque people spelled it "NUT"

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: It's on my bulletin board.

The operative word there is "Ex". Some people aren't smart enough to get us.

yes, but usually not in relation to quilting. lol

We crazies are in good company...all together here!!

That is funny. I use to tell a co-worker of mine the same thing. Then I got the bug to give it a try and OMG!!!! I completely fell it love with it!! So now I have joined the crazies!!! :lol: :lol:

Been there done that have closet full of Tshirts. :lol: :lol:

Well, for years, my husband has threatened to toss and burn all my quilting "gear" when I die ... fabrics, threads, machines, books, etc.

Now, we're getting a divorce and I am packing up his stuff to take into his new apartment ... and he's going to find little triangles of fabric inside each and every box with all the rest of his junk. Let's see what he says about THAT!

Does that make me crazy? Hmmmmm......methinks NOT!

If Quilters are crazy, then we are all in good company!!

yeah, but isn't it a great crazy to be?

You are very considerate, I would have made him pack his own junk!!!!!

Oh yea, sometimes I think I am crazy! I don't get one quilt done and three more were started! What was I thinking? I am in so deep:)

Six hundred and nine pieces to be exact.

Many times but it had nothing to do with quilting :shock:

I thought for a minute you were talking about cutting up "his clothes" into little pieces!! ROFL And you're nice enough to pack for him? You might just be "crazy"!!

At least we "crazies" have an excuse to do anything we want to do! :)

LOVE IT!!

OMG... 600 pieces in a 12 x 12.... okay, I'll have to agree with the insanity one.... WOW .... I'm stuttering with my fingers. You got any pictures of that??? (the 12 x 12, not my fingers, lol)[/quote]
