"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:
Yes.....where ARE the men in this conversation.....Maybe they do not have ANY Idiosyncrasies????? :shock: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I find that I use a variety of Quilting Analogies in my conversations. When I catch someone rolling their eyes, I state emphatically: ALL ROADS LEAD TO QUILTING, OR DIDN"T YOU KNOW THAT?
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 want a room also ! Count me in ... And as for visition from 9-5 I think that is a bit much, don't you :twisted: hey that would cut into our quilting time :shock: And besides we see them now a lot... do we really need to see family that much when we are in our special place ???
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

My slippers will be easy to find. They are University of Texas orange with a longhorn logo in white! sounds like fun. I already live in a senior complex. We do have alot of fun, but not that much!
