Is There a Quilter's oath? I knew there was a Quilter's Pox...It is the only disease it is ok to share and we do it with such grace. Oh Yes, there is an attitude that goes there.

Ever NOT got the Q-tip out to clean the dust from around the sash lock or the corners of the window sash muntins?
Ever filed something in the no-one-will-look-at-this-again-in-my-lifetime pile?
Ever forgot to dust on top of the door casing?
Ever rounded 49 cents UP?
Ever pretended you forgot your oil change as a few hundred or more? miles overdue?
Ever hit the DELETE button on an email you may not need to answer right away?
Ever NOT RECEIVED that phone message from Aunt Tilda wanting to know why you don't have a brood of kids yet?
Ever heard of the law of diminishing returns?
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now take a deep breath, and let it out real slow. Relax. Breathe. lol!

Do we really have secrets? The great thing about this board is that we all share our "secrets".

I just did a "Dirty Little Secret" yesterday. I'm making pot holders and learning to do free hand quilting on the machine. When I finished quilting the first one, turned it over and straight down the middle, diagonally, There was an over lap of fabric a quarter inch deep. I was mortified. So------I turned the excess over to one side, stitched it down, then sent to the other side and stitched to match.

Geeeese am I dumb.

"Secrets"? In quilting we call them "Tips", simple sematics.

Imagine the secrets our quilting "foremothers" must have had! I can't help but wonder what they'd think of the internet and our Little Board.
