Quilter's Tranquilizer
 

During my shop hop today I stopped at Beyond the Thimble in Seatauket and they were so kind to give me Quilter's Tranquilizer - a bag of m&m candy with a note attached. The note read:

Yellow - Soothes nerves when you want to buy fabric and the shop is closed.
Red - Reduces irritation when you cannot find just the right fabric.
Blue - reduces frustration when your stash is looking little low.
Brown - relieves panic attacks when there is no place to hide more fabric
Orange - Minimizes depression when you cannot get enough time to sew.
Green - cures the urge to clean house when you could be sewing.
Warning: May contribute to weight gain

I had to share this with you because it made me giggle. Such a great idea!

Love it! I knew they were really little pills. You always feel so much better after eating a few.

that is so cute. i love m&m's have to get some .that makes me :D

LOL, need some DownUnder!

Too cute! I now see there is reason to always keep some m&m's on hand!

Do you kow of any quilt shops in Nassau? Setauket isa little far..

unfortunately, only Suffolk stores participated in this Shop Hop and they are in Cold Spring Harbour, East Northport, Islip, Sayville, Setautket, and Riverhead. I have never been to any of the stores in Nassau but I know of Quilting Bug in Massapequa, and Gone Sewing in Hicksville. Happy Quilting!

Perfect solution!!

Chocolate cures everything!

We have m & m at all our quilter's workshops. One of our gals has to have them as she sews and keeps us all supplied. Love the color codes. I will have to use them. Thanks,

Great idea!!

How cute Barb

Very cute idea. May use it for my quilting group. We meet twice monthly for our Sunday Sew Day (11am - 5pm).

If you only knew how many bags I go through!! I have told my DH they were an antidepressant. Now I have proof!

If there was a kind understanding quilting researcher/chemist out there we would have no calorie M&Ms when used for medicinal purposes. I take a supplement "glucosamaine" the pills are humungous. I found them in Walmart yesterday and the box said "a soft, creamy orange chew", I thought "hallelujah!" Of course the box also said 60 calories each. You have to take 3 each day. I am not using up 180 calories on supplements when they can be used for chocolate. Pass the humungous pills... it's a cold, cruel world people...

That's priceless. I have to keep this one for my next retreat. That would be wonderful to attach to a special little give a way for everyone! Thanks so much for sharing!

Your too funny!!!! But it's so true!

The shop I worked in gave little bags of M&M's and called them quilters vitamins

Exactly! Too cute!!! I'm going to tell DH to pick some up on the way home... for my nerves y'know... LOL! Actually I need them for my nerves after I eat them & then get on the scale... yeow! LOL!

Amen, sister! I saw a quote here on the board that said something like "Save the Earth -- it's the only planet with chocolate"!!!

Love it! I've just read it to my hubby and he thought it was very funny also.

Thanks for this! We have 20 in our quilt group and I am always looking for a cute Christmas gift idea.

Thanks for sharing, this would make a great stocking stuffer, hostess gifts, etc. I always knew there was a reason to keep them on hand when quilting.

for me Reese's Pieces solve any problems. hee hee.

:D I need a lot of brown :D My sewing room keeps shrinking, anyone else have that problem?
A few more blue as I work full time and do not want to go anywhere near the rotary cutter if I'm not going to be paying 100% attention to what I'm doing.

:D I don't have a problem with the green:o

Bye! Gone to buy m&ms. Thanks for sharing. There must be some quilting bandits in my home. They keep disappearing,

I think it's really cute!

Now I have a reason to keep a stash!

Too cute! Just bought a big bag of peanut M & M's the other day, guess where I'm going?! LOL!

LOVE IT! Everyone in my Bee will be getting this come Christmas! Thanks.

I love it! Maybe that's why I keep the party sized (42 oz) in my cupboard at all times. LOL

I keep an apothocary jar filled with M & M's on the top of one of my antique sewing machine cabinets, now I will have to create a cross stitch to hang on the wall above it to explain why the jar is always only half full

Darn! The Green is not working for me! I have green carpet in the bedrooms/tile in the kitchen and I still want to clean when I know that I should be sewing. What is wrong with me? And the weight gain comes with cleaning or quilting. Still, got to love life. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Sales on M & M's should skyrocket after this!

Hah! I did this shop hop, too, and I loved the Quilter's Tranquilizers! Only trouble is, I could end up having to make a quilt to wear instead of regular clothes!

LOL, I love it!

I'm a bit behind in catching up on the board, but had a good chuckle at this one...I'm thinking the mini M&M's would be good, too....just have to nibble more of them! :)
