    5. Go to the bathroom again because I drank all the tea in 20 minutes.
    Is yours the 32 oz size? With fresh lemon of course! drink it by the gallon. I should have stock in Tetley.

    I have a container with a built in straw that Jim gave me. It is 55 oz. There is the reason for rule #5. :lol:

    I would like to thank all of you who say it doesn't matter how long it takes, or when one sews. I had a friend who always tried to make me accountable when I wasn't working on a quilting project and I found it uncomfortable to have to tell someone why I wasn't quilting. I have other hobbies too; and sometimes I just plain don't feel like it!!

    I believe creativity come in peeks and troughs, therefor, it is OK to work on your quilts when you feel like it, not be under pressure to perform and finish by a certain time, quilting must be an enjoyable hobby! It takes as long as it takes!

    1. Quilt first, clean later (the dirt isn't going anywhere!)
    2. When I start making multiple mistakes it is time to take a break.
    3. There is no such thing as too much fabric.
    4. Cat hair comes off in the wash.
    5. Perfection is highly over rated.

    6. Graph paper and colored pencils are your friends.

    1. Have FUN, its not a job.
    2. Step outside the box, but too far or that UFO will never be finished
    3. Measure twice, cut once
    4. Peice before you sew
    5. Do it only if you feel like it, your sewing will not be at its best if you dont really want to do it
