Can't tell you how many of these I found myself nodding "Yes" I've done that.

5. When your rotary cutter states SHARP on the package, it REALLY is...
6. Pins hurt when you forget to pick them up off the floor....
7. My corner/points will never ever be as perfect as yours, so Im not going to compete with you…
8. Due to Number 7, ‘Scrappy’ is my best friend
9. All nighters usually end up with A LOT of mistakes and one wonky quilt..
10. While in ‘quilting’ mode, Laundry doesn’t get done, dishes don’t get washed. So you better head out to Wally world and buy yourself some underwear, it’ll be a while… oh yea and grab dinner too!!!
11. In the quilting world of scrappy quilts, UGLIES are a must- the uglier the better…
12. Uglies can be beautiful when its cut small enough to actually see how ugly it really is….
13. 99.9% of the time I will have a thread and or a fabric snippets somewhere on my body…
14. You have a greater chance of locating me by following the trail of fabric snippets i've dropped along the way..
15. When your machine is having a bad day, plan on having one too..
So, what have you learned lately??? (this is all in good fun)

Quilt Retreats are the most wonderful vacations.
When you are short on money don't go to a LQS. Because you will find the most beautiful fabric. Contrary when you do have the funds and want to find something new, nothing will appeal to you.
