LOL, cute story!

I know I need to watch mine every minute! (And I tell him so too!) He gets into all kinds of trouble, even with me watching him. LOL!!!
|
I bet he was going in there to borrow her sewing scissors...
|

That's really cute fabric. I wonder how it would look as a sewing machine cover. :thumbup:
|
I have some of this fabric. I used it a black and white and red all over quilt. It was just random pick out of the bag 5 inch squares.Probably 40 or 50 different prints and solids. I used this print as an inside border for it. I loved that quilt and gave it to my daughter. Her son liked it so well, that I made him a twin size quilt for his bed.
|
DON'T show this my DH...EVER! WHERE do we buy this fabric???
|
I was working in my stash and found this fabric last night. It is wonderful. Think I'll make it in to window treatments.
|
LOL - love it!
|
LOL , seems the wife was more concerned over her fabrics being distrubed than her husband being victim to the avalanche!!
|
I got a good laugh out of that.
|
LOL Even my hubby laughed about this one. Sorry but I can't resist sharing this with a few of my Quilter Friends!!!! Thanks for sharing...

oh my that is so cute!!! do you think he will stay out of her room from now on ?????? or test his luck again !!
|
do you think he is stupid enough to go in her notions room?
|
I have this fabric and the rest of the fabrics in the line. It was quite a few years ago. One of the LQS has a deal that if you made a bag with their name on it and bring it with you, you will recieve 10% off reg. priced fabric. so I used this line to make a bag. Funny, I haven't run across it in my fight to organize! LOL
|
So funny! Could be so true...

I don't think he will ever go anywhere near any of her quilting supplies once his neighbors and buddies get through with him!
|
Welcome to small town life. Just remember, before long they won't be neighbors...they will be friends
|
Love it, that's great. :thumbup: That'll teach him to stay out of places he shouldn't be in. lol.
|
Too funny.
