Do you quilt on Sunday?
#275
Growing up, my grandmother didnt permit much of anything on Sunday. She always said, "if you sew on Sunday, the stitches will be taken out of your nose". I didnt understand it then and dont now. I believe that since it is "a day of rest" and most find quilting restful, it is fine. There are sure worse things you could be doing.

If I can get some free time on a Sunday, I certainly will quilt. I never understood the rest thing on Sundays. Families still need to be fed, babies still need to be cared for, as do the elderly and the ill. I think the Sunday day of rest idea only works for kids and married men.
