This thread reminds me of a discussion I had with friends a few years back, where we were discussing misheard song lyrics. My favorite was Steve Miller Band's song "Jet Airliner", the line goes "Big ol' jet airliner" and my friend thought it was "Big ol' Jack had a light on". Rofl!!

never heard the French part in the felled phrase -- learned it as a "flat felled seam"!
maybe it originated in France -- who knows |
Our son when learning the Pledge of Allegiance, instead of 'indivisible, with liberty and justice for all', said "indivisible, with liberty just enough for all".

Reminds me of "Gladly, the Cross-eyed Bear"

My sister used to live in an area where they did Civil War activities and thought it would be fun to join in. They wore period clothing, did the cooking, set up shops, had quilt shows, a lot of activity from that time 1850's era. Her friend that introduced her to it loaned her a pattern to use to make a dress. It was a shirt waist dress made of the indigo fabric with little white decoration of some sort. My sister told her friend that it looked so familiar, and but decided it was a popular pattern, she must have seen when she was trying to pick out a pattern. So she brought it home, and then looked at a picture of our great-great grandmother, everyone called "Mam" because she was a school teacher during the civil war time and there it was. No only was the dress identical pattern, so was the fabric. (Nice to know my family was stylish for their time. :-D ) When she showed it to our aunt and me, my aunt pointed out the two women could have been sisters, even their hair and expression were the same. We got a real kick out of it.

Thanks for the laugh, it happens to all of us at one time or another

As of today, I have joined this club. I have been sewing since I was fifteen, and know that the grain of fabric is important to the drape of the results. Today, I read the newsletter articles that I get in my email inbox, to learn about the importance of warp and weft in quilting. Silly me figured it did not matter in quilting....I bet my corners will be easier to match now......��
