Hahahahahahaha

I needed a good laugh this morning! I think Santa is moving your daughter to the NAUGHTY list!!!
|
OMG funny. I just finish a donation quilt that is meander all over. I will have to look at it for body parts. It is for a co-worker who needs a kidney transplant. Everyone at work will die laughing if it has body parts. My mom would be horrified if hers had body parts, although she would never notice. She just doesn't think that way.
|
We need to see it to decide if it's anything to worry about or just your kid's dirty mind!
|
Well...I wouldn't touch it....I'd just ccomment on where here daughters mind is at LOL! CHances are good no one but you will see it.
|
Pictures, please!! LOL
|
Or, perhaps you could continue the theme and add other parts- feet, hands, ears, noses, whatever..............
|
You could have said, "Really? I was going for antlers."
|
Your daughter sounds like my daughter! My boys are the ones who never let me forget things like this-of course they embellish the stories & after years they believe their version instead of my-which is the truth. We do have lots of laughs though.
I would have left it . (notice too that your initials in your screen name were my initials too before I got married - tjk

My mother would have it hilarious AND pointed it out to every person that ever saw the quilt. My big mouth daughter told my sister " Hey Aunt Terry, guess what Mom put n Grandma's quilt" I understand why some species eat their young! I am never going to live this down....never.
|
Kids see what they want.
Better have the Birds and Bees talk with her again. LOL - YOur mom maybe would've loved it. |
What a great story! Depending on the person that the quilt is going to, this could give rise to a whole new meaning of personalizing the quilt!

Wait. That sounds wrong. Jan in VA</snort!!> |
I went to a wedding shower and my sister had given homemade jams and pickles etc for the prizes. I won a jar of pickles and when we looked at it, one of the pickles on the side had formed into a perfect replica of man parts. She never noticed it when she canned them.
We won't eat the pickles because it is too fun having them on the shelf as a chuckle. |
I wonder, are they "at ease" or "at attention"?
|
Ok ladies, you have no idea how badly I needed that chuckle this morning...quite entertaining!!!

So I had made a small lap quilt for my mother for Xmas and I thought this might be a good piece to try quilting myself. I did SID around the blocks and then decided to meander around the border. How hard can it be? I've watched friends do it lots of times. I thought it was going pretty well until my daughter ( she's 21) pointed out that some of the meandering looked like anatomically correct male parts! OMG! I am currently tearing it out and tomorrow taking it to an experienced friend to finish (very kind of her) I need to think of an excuse... honestly
meandering looked so easy. I believe I will start to practice on paper! Blushing.... |
I decided to take a break from grading essays on The Scarlet Letter when I came across this thread. Best thing I've read all day. Thanks for the laugh.
|
What a great post. I think we can all use a laugh today. Thanks for sharing.
|
OH my, I have been practicing at meandering and never really looked at the stitches to see what they formed. Maybe I should pay closer attention would hate to give that to someone who couldnt find the humor in it. After all I would have thought of it as completely accidental and histerical at the same time.

LOL been there done that also 7fingers hands and swans altho they look nice but if I had to fma swan bet it wouldn't turn out I'm still learning fm myself
|
What a hoot! I do know what you mean though, sometimes meandering/stippling takes on some weird shapes! I was working on a Grinch quilt last Christmas for son and his family and SO bored that I started FMQing their names in cursive--this was after practically falling asleep at the machine. Was so proud until I realized it woudl be upside down on the wall hanging! We just talked about it this year and I pointed that out--My son could see where I had meandered Merry Christmas--left them with something to think about! :)
|
I am sitting here reading QB and laughing hysterically. DH wanted to know what was so funny. lol I have been practicing FMQing. I need to practice a lot more and check my meandering carefully. lol
|
Very funny! You may never live this down. That's ok. You will laugh about it forever.
|
BTW..My kids think I am crazy sitting at the computer laughing with tears running down my face!!
|
What a way to start the morning! Thanks for the laugh!
I think there is future quilt/wallhanging for this daughter with a certain kind of meandering? What about a lap quilt? |

Bwaa haa haa haaa!!! That's too funny!
I'm the kind of girl that would be highly entertained if such a thing accidentally showed up in one of my quilts. I'd probably give it to my mother and see how long it would take her to notice it. :D |

I so feel your pain!! And my daughter would do the same thing....blab..blab...blab....but laughter is the best medicine!!!
|
Could we make this our next contest/challenge???
|
This is TOO funny all be it at your expense. Sounds like something I would inadvertently do. Good luck!
|
I just created a meander pattern as background fill for appliqué etc. to digitize for computer quilters like myself with Intelliquilter This was so funny! But I am going to go check my design for any "unusual" looking elements.
|
That is so funny! I'd better go check my meandering!
|
Depends on who the quilt is for, don't you think?
