My Chuckle of the Day - news flash from the quilting police

It's official. It is now Ok to mix and match Bali batiks and prints.

from the brand new Refreshed for Fall Keepsake Quilting Catalog:
"Want to make your quilts even more stunning? Do what some of the top designers are now doing- mixing printed fabrics with hand-dyed and batiked Balis."

I've been doing this since I started quilting eleven years ago. I fell in love with quilting fabric - all of it. Glad to know the designers are catching on.

I was going to say the top designers probably would not have mixed these before. So yep, it's a good thing.

So funny. Anything for another marketing gimmick. I bet this idea will be very profitable.

I am happy to say that I never felt like I needed their permission. I do what I want, and if the quilting police come to my door, I will show them my quilts and my Rottweiler. lol (woof woof)

My chuckle for the day was seeing a teenage boy without his bike helmet on BUT he was wearing a red flannel, fur lined deer stalker hat with ear flaps. What was he thinking??
