    Thanks for a good laugh. I needed that. I LOVE this board. I find that anything I do wrong...(really don't want to say stupid) there is always some one else who has done the same thing. Makes me feel like I'm in good company.

    When things don't go well with your quilt, stop and read the QB message board, look at the pictures, add to your list of things to do, check out a few websites and then, go back to your quilting with new inspiration. :thumbup:

    Yes, I found that in the quilt in the quilting frame right now. It is going to stay in there, just like that, too. I am using the galloping horse rule. Mary in WV

    Good thing my DH doesn't know about this virus...He'd tell me I'm terminal...but, then, he always asks "What's so funny?" when I (again!) bust out laughing at something on this board! Thanks for being a great bunch!

    13. 99.9% of the time I will have a thread and or a fabric snippets somewhere on my body…
    14. You have a greater chance of locating me by following the trail of fabric snippets i've dropped along the way.. .........................................

    There is usually a trail that Hansel and Grettal would be proud of between my sewing table and the bathroom.

    Does gas for the lawnmower count as his "silly" expenses?

    Wasn't there a tip about drinking somewhere back there?
    I don't even want to think about black on black. Knitting with black is bad enough.
