Fortune Cookie Advice for Quilters!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]555695[/ATTACH]

Do you believe this came in a fortune cookie I got the other night? You could have knocked me over with a feather!
I've heard measure-twice, that's what carpenters say, but this cracked me up!

Leave it to Chinese to be super cautious! And on a very few occasions, I have measured twice and still messed up, so maybe 10 will be my safety number!

Never heard that one before. I do check my measurements twice as the old carpenter's saying goes.

I hope you've enlarged that and tacked it near your cutting table. Funny, funny. I've been known to measure 3 times and still get it wrong. That's when I switch gears or go to bed!

How appropriate for us sewers but I never measure more than twice. You probably thought someone picked that certain fortune cookie just for you!!! LOL

That is too funny. On the night my husband and I got engaged, we went to a Chinese restaurant. When I opened my fortune cookie it said, "You will have a wonderful marriage." I kept it and put it in a photo album. We have been together for 31 years.

my sister used to save every fortune. Put them on her mirror. She thought that each and every one was truly designed for her

. I was there one day reading her "mirror of good fortune" and I said, hey, I got this one the other night at dinner. Shattered her dreams! Funny. I felt kinda bad, I didn't know.....

there definately are are times you get a fortune that really applies to something in your life and I do feel it was destiny
