Patchwork Quilting Business and so check out my question of the day....
A Quilting Joke I found on the web today
The quilter died and went up to the Pearly Gates. (It doesn’t start well, but it gets better….) There, she was faced with a choice: she had lived her life so that she could either go to Heaven, or Hell – her choice. She was pretty sure this would have all been decided by now, and she was pretty sure where she wanted to go, but she was also a very curious quilter.She asked Saint Peter if she could just take a look at what might be awaiting her in Hell.
They entered a huge room (anyone ever been to the Houston Quilt Festival? Bigger than that!), with tables and chairs. There were quite a few pleasant looking quilters sitting everywhere. But it was what was in the middle of each table that caught her attention: a wonderful huge pile of fabric. She thought she’d died and gone to Heaven!!!
She made up her mind on the spot, and turned to Saint Peter: “I know that Heaven is probably very nice, but I’ve decided that I want to stay here, thank you.”
As the door closed quietly behind him for all eternity, everyone at the tables turned to her with a smile on their faces and said, with one voice:
“Did you bring the needles?”
My friend Becca sent this poem to me via email this morning and had to share
It begins with
a chair
a swivel chair
gliding with ease
spinning creations
behind me
a table
to plan
arranging
rearranging
to my right
a cutting board
a rotary blade
here I shape
quilted dreams
before me
a machine
and thread
vision stitched
into form
to my left
an iron
a board
pressing seams
of my design
a spiral turning
scraps
into form
piecing a quilt
piecing my life
