    DD always has a Halloween party, complete with costumes.When I said I didn't have anything to wear, she said "come as a quilter"
    What would a quilter wear?? Maybe I could chase ppl around with my rotary cutter :lol:

    What comes to mind is a quilt jacket, quilt skirt, quilt shirt. Let us know what you decide on!

    I think you could be in your P.Js and slippers. One pair of glasses on top of your head and one to wear (because you don't remember they are on you head). Put the tape measure around your neck.
    Put lots of little treads all over your clothes. Carry around your spray starch in one hand and rotary cutter in the other. When you talk to the party guests, admire their costumes and say "I could make a cool quilt out of this fabric". LOL :lol:

    Sew quilt blocks on an old shirt then drape the measuring tape around your neck, put a pincushion on your wrist or thumb, wear your slippers, stick a pencil behind your ear and a thimble on your finger.

    How about if you just "wear" a quilt? Wear some pajamas and wrap a quilt around your shoulders.

    And make sure that you are covered in litle threads and ends of threads from cutting them off. And add a couple of band-aids from not being so completely careful with the rotary cutters. And a pair of scissors on a leash.

    Not a quilter costume but a really easy peasy one. Take a box of cereal and stick a steak knife into it. Carry it around. You are a serial killer.
