Well, furbabies & sniffing the groceries at the store. What interesting subjects we can come up with! No one says us quilters are normal!! LOL Well, it seems to be normal to us, though!
Tried quilting a quilt & the darn thing just isn't co-operating! I hate it when it doesn't behave!! Gonna have to really dig into my bag of tricks on this one!

Hint: You've already got your SS package, just begging you to open!!

That's exactly why I was doing it, too! Yep, tuna and any other canned meat gets shaken, as well. I also check all of the expiration dates on dairy items, to choose the freshest ones. Stores probably hate me. To my credit, I always return the rejects, neatly to the shelf. Needless to say, every egg is lifted and inspected.

I hope this doesn't give us away but these song lyrics refer to something that my SS and I have in common:

"All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
Low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer"

I was all set to Elmer's School Glue baste a top, yesterday. Got the final seams ironed, then pulled out the batting (Warm & White). Unfortunately, it was the end of the roll and lacking about 2" to be enough. No problem, as I had a brand new roll, still in the box. Opened the box and started to pull out the batting. Ran into a 'minor' problem. Got a good grip on the batting and started pulling . . . but my arms were too short, to get it out. Didn't want to pull it out onto the floor, so tried angling the box. . . but as soon as I'd pull it somewhat out and then try to get a grip farther down, the roll would slide back into the box. If I just kept pulling, the box slid forward, with the batting. Tried holding the box in place, with one extended leg/foot but since I'm only about 5'3", that didn't help much. Decided to wait for dh to get home, to hold the box in place. In hindsight, I should've just swung the box up onto the cutting table! Today, I'm gonna see if I can find a spot, to mount the roll onto the wall. Then I can just roll my cutting table up to it. Got that idea, from some wise person, on our QB! My old roll just sat on top of a shelving unit. Problem is finding empty wall space, long enough for the bolt.

Hmmmmmmm. Let's see . . . 'low rider' cars . . . nope. 'Low rider' jeans . . . heavens, no! 'Low rider' dogs? Nah, Phoebe's low but that little critter can run faster than I can. Okay, I admit this possibly isn't me.

On the other hand . . . maybe? But then on the third hand, it's probably a trick, so probably not. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. . . .

Oh YEAH...we who agonize over a point that is not perfect - quilting stitches that are not even - rip out any seam or quilt line that is just a smidge off - save scraps of fabric for decades because we might find a use for them --- hold onto a lovely fabric for years because we don't want to cut into it - will travel MILES if the destination has the word "quilt" in it -- have entire rooms in our homes dedicated to fabric.......oh YEAH - this is definitely the "normal" crowd !!! Where's the hole...i think i need a drink !!!!

I like to think of us as exceptional.

Guess I must've missed something. Why did you already open it? Opening day isn't until December 8th, when we're supposed to share the fun and pictures.
