When I read this I laughed out LOUD!!!!
I got this mental image of all of us board members in a home....shuffling around, fabric and strings clinging to our clothes and grey hair....going into each other's rooms in the morning, poking each other to get ourselves up and moving with pins and needles....Fat quarter someone says, another yells "Who Ya calling FAT????"....No, she said "Do you have a quarter!!"... "NO!!! I don't think the quarter is any fatter!!!!".....After a wonderful meal of oatmeal and prunes we all head to the sunroom, where we magically transform into youthful sewing demons!!! Fabric flying, machines humming, laughter and chatter filling the room, and one beautiful quilt after another being created.... When the lights blink off and on signaling bedtime....and it is time to retire for the night...we head to our rooms...leaving a trail of strings....snippets....and laughter and merriment....looking forward to the next day of....uh......hmmmmm..... OH YES!!!!..... of sewing.... 8) 8) :lol: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :wink: :wink:
but, but, but...Amma...I would never get any sleep, unless I went to bed before all of you. I couldn't leave all that string, and all those lovely snippets laying in the floor to get trampled on. Waste not, want not!
I'd have to go around to each of you, and get you to fill my goodie bag, before retiring...yes...that's what I'd do! :D

One of my speeches in a Public Speaking class (which I actually don't mind doing) was about a hobby. I took BIG scissors and scared the audience - hey - teacher said we needed an attention-getter. THat was revised after my presentation - and attacking the front row and trying to cut their ties off was not allowed. :lol: :twisted: :mrgreen: :lol:

I can just see you come to the lecturn with a huge pair of scissors,
and get an evil :twisted: grin and jump off podium,
advancing towards audience, holding both handles,
drooling and eyeballing neckties...ppl scattering and shrieking...
men p-ing their pants!
thinking that you were lusting after their jugulars :shock: like a quilting were-woman! :roll: :lol:

And the slippers, can you see us all walking around with different ones ? as they get pushed across the floor from kicking them off when we are sewing . Hey Amma is that my pink slipper you are wearing ? LOL

This is so funny, glad my dd isnt home to ask if I'm ok because I'm laughing out-loud so hard. I do so many of these, used to be a listmaker but got over that. Why do we (women) have to confess our silly things to others that we swear we'll NEVER tell anyone.
I want a room too, but I snore so who-ever my roomie is must either snore too or wear earplugs.... :lol:
