Being that i live in the middle of nowhere, home everyday, my days are filled with sewing and the sound of silence. Most days are filled with only the sounds of my own thoughts. Tv is a bore. Rarely remembering to actually turn on the radio, the days fly by with just the conversations in my head. So its me, mother nature and QB, mixed with an occasional book. Once a week I venture into town to get our weekly supplies and put in my applications for denials so I can collect my benefits of laziness(or so I've been told). So I suppose I have plenty of time to entertain myself and write the memoirs of the Mad Quilter. It warms my heart to know that I made so many of you smile. Thank you for all your kind words, I just wanted to share my day and frustrations without sounding "B****Y". Lifes to short to spend feeling like doo-doo!

Lea....Thank you so much for your post, the laughs and the smiles throughout reading it!! I agree with what someone else suggested...consider sending it to the quilting magazines....so many of us relate, but you have a gift for putting words together!!

Leann, I enjoyed your story!! It was very entertaining and you truly have a way with words. I can relate to it all and remember the scenery and silence so well when I lived in the country in Indiana not so many years ago.

By the end of this day, it was going to be completed or, put through the shredder, wasn't too sure which. For now, I am keeping it, but it was a very close thing. And...no, I do not have any Bailey's to soothe my shattered nerves.

Oh man.... Thanks for the laugh! Sometimes ya just gotta laugh at these darn machines who seem to have a mind of their own.
Honestly, although people tend to give machines a feminine persona and name, I am totally convinced that my sewing machine is a male. Seriously... he only does what he wants to do when he wants to do it, therefore it is pointless to sew on him if he is not in work mode.
