Those oh so funny remarks about quilting...

"The housewifes that are bored and don't have anything else to do, quilt!"
That was the one that stuck most in my memory. Yeah! We are all bored, don't have lifes, family members to take care off, no jobs, no bills to pay, no cleaning, cooking or anything else to do. We just sit and quilt!
On top of it, we are all rich, because we have no problems buying all that fabric or any other stupid gadget we need for quilting.
Awwww, the life of a quilter, it's a good one!

Never argue with a pig. You'll just get dirty, and the pig likes it!

I have found these people are jealous that they do not have the drive, talent, or patience to make beautiful art but yet wish they could.

coworker looking at a baby quilt.... "oh, that's so pretty, you could sell those. you could get $25-$30 bucks for those!"
my response..... "the fabric cost over $50 bucks."
her jaw dropped for a moment, then.... "oh, i guess you can't sell them then."

I was having trouble sewing a difficult spot once and made the mistake of asking my husband. He said, "Don't you have to sew faster to make it work?" Like the stitching speed matters at all to the stitch, and like I wanted to sew something *wrong* really fast...
And for embroidery -- I love redwork. I did something recently for my niece, and my sister said, "It looks a little plain -- can't you fill it in with color?" I just looked at her. And I laughed on the inside!

I love this topic and the remarks. I don't have anything to contribute on quilting but I have been a crafter/stitcher for years. People seem to think I am some kind of throwback and have lots of time. I just like making things.
I like the comment about not watching TV.
