"what is a ripping blade?" Thinking it amazing that he knew of a quilting tool that I didn't know about...
"to cut the length you use a ripping blade on the saw. That cuts the length of the grain. If you are cutting the width of the wood, you use a cross cut saw. So, a ripping blade to rip the length of the wood and a cross cut to cut the width."
"Right...um...you know I'm talking about fabric right?"
This is why I love this man so much! He is simply amazing in every way...including his sense of humor!

The fabric line is from Joann's Fabric. If you search "Andover" on the Joann's site you will find it. I just searched it and found another fabric that I didn't see at the store. Might have to buy it for my quilts.....*somebody stop me...PLEASE!*
