Thank you for starting this post. It is great. I'm sure we all have some "dirty little secrets" we do and don't even remember until we do them again. Quilters are a unique group of people. MOST of us play well with others, we love to share, we are compassionate, we have a good sense of humor, we love to gab,and we love fabric. Of course we need to remember there are exceptions to every rule. I also love this board. Great people here!!!!

My husband told me to get my own email address because our joint one was getting crammed with "quilt stuff". So now I have a "real" email and a "quilt" email... this is said from his vantage point! :)

There's actually quite a bit of interesting information there - like how many posts in the past 24 hours (7756).

I made a paper-pieced wall hanging for my sister 2 years ago. On a couple of the seams, I didn't have enough seam allowance, and the seams popped open when it was quilted. Because it was a frog/pond scene, I bought some iron-on appliques of ladybugs and butterflies to place over the ragged seams.
The effect was perfect, my sister loves her wall hanging, so it was a win-win.

Ever NOT got the Q-tip out to clean the dust from around the sash lock or the corners of the window sash muntins?
Ever filed something in the no-one-will-look-at-this-again-in-my-lifetime pile?
Ever forgot to dust on top of the door casing?
Ever rounded 49 cents UP?
Ever pretended you forgot your oil change as a few hundred or more? miles overdue?
Ever hit the DELETE button on an email you may not need to answer right away?
Ever NOT RECEIVED that phone message from Aunt Tilda wanting to know why you don't have a brood of kids yet?
Ever heard of the law of diminishing returns?
