    Happens to me all the time . Did anybody else ever see the quilt in the tile floor of the McD's restroom? I do.
    But, I'm allergic to chocolate !! Hubby doesn't cook.

    I think I really need a pill.....or maybe just chocolate.

    Go for the chocolate, Luv... chocolate makes everything better, always! :) I'm sure your mother and your grandmother, and your great-grandmother would tell you the same thing. Konstantin recently listed a bunch of things we can use for quillting tools - did anyone notice if he mentioned pizza cutters?

    Of course I told him it had to be green if you were making a caterpillar out of it.
    Obviously, the poor fellow was imagination-challenged. He needs a piece of chocolate, big-time!

    You're not alone, Dear. I see "quilt blocks" everywhere I go.
    My most memorable quilt block is on the marble floor of the church at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Alabama.
    While sitting in silence I just couldn't help but sketch a pattern for one of the blocks.
    :oops:

    I'll get two birds with one stone: I just have to comment on Lillybeck's story of the green paint roller. I'm thinking those Lowes people must really think some of us are "touched in the head." I'm always in there looking for things to use in my cake decorating, whether it is a special wire to use to mount "floating" stars, or PAINT ROLLERS to smooth icing, or foam insulation to form designs in icing.

    Kinda like the run on blades for the rotary cutter at Harbor Freight. :lol:

    I do this when I am out shopping and see a window display or a painting or just tile on the floor and wallpaper patterns. We have an illness and I hope they never come up with a pill, it would kill my imagination and ruin all my fun. You go girl!!
