Beer tasting and quilting
 
Sewing Expo in Portland,Or. Is featuring a beginning quilt class for men( taught by men)...has beer tasting as part of the class! DH has signed up! Hope he uses a rotary cutter before he tastes the beer.
he will not be operating my sewing machine!

LOL! Better lock up your stash, too, or someday you'll go looking for a fabric you KNOW you had, only to find out he pilfered it for a beer mug rug.

What a winning combination--alcohol, needles, and rotary cutters!! Seriously, I'll bet the guys have a lot of fun.

I can see it now; a bunch of male quilters putting the pedal to the metal SUIs and "Officer says to sewer(aka machine driver), I pulled you over because you kept swerving away from that "1/4" seam allowance going into the 3/8 and 1/2" lanes!

Oh wow! I'd love to see that done here. My hubby might actually like it. Well, he'd certainly like the beer tasting part. In Gloucester Mass there is, or was, a sip and knit at a local brewery. Rocking chairs and all. It was great for the women to sit and knit/crochet and their husbands would visit with each other. We need more of these things!

Ya'll have the best sense of humor. I'm rolling on the floor with laughter, and at the same time thinking what a great idea.

The first valid reason EVER for having quilt police! :)

Sounds like an interesting combo for men to take. Hope the beer is after the class.

Oh, what a hoot! Two things I would not have thought of to put in the same sentence. They will have a blast. What a great idea.

What a great idea! We all know that men enjoy all parts of quilting, depending on their interests.....selecting fabric, squaring up, cutting....sewing....
