And it takes 72 yards of fabric... just to make sure you have enough!<br /><br />I find fabric and ideas everywhere.And I find the time because I gave up cooking and cleaning years ago.<br /><br />To find places for the fabric, best in your teens closet or drawer, they arent' using them anyway. I have quilts everywhere in the house. You can get rid of alot of stuff in the kitchen since I don't cook now. Put the quilts in there. And I intend on quilting for ever and USE UP ALL THE FABRIC I HAVE! Bury the rest with me.Patty Ashworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19866191.post-66761879845355136242010-02-01T18:56:45.343-06:002010-02-01T18:56:45.343-06:00I noticed along time ago, that everyone asks 3 que...I noticed along time ago, that everyone asks 3 questions to a quilter. And you can tell what they know about quilting by these questions. I'll give the answers later that I normally (and sarcastically) give.<br />When someone doesn't quilt they ask, How long does it take to make that? How much fabric does it take? and How much does it cost?<br />If they ahve been quilting for a while they ask, where do you get the fabric? How do you find the time to keep quilting? Where do you get your ideas?<br />If they have been quitling for a while, they ask, Where do you keep all your fabric (or hide it)? What do you do with all the quilts you have made? And do you think you will ever make all the ones you want to?<br /><br />Just get them hooked and you'll have the last laugh!Patty Ashworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19866191.post-84182143193657146262010-01-28T07:08:04.704-06:002010-01-28T07:08:04.704-06:00When this happens I usually ask them to clarify, m...When this happens I usually ask them to clarify, much like you did, just what time frame they are asking about. It can lead to an interesting conversation if they are truly interested. Sometimes I think they ask it because they don't know anything about our art & don't know what to say. Reminds me of people who would ask me after a dive trip "how deep did you go?" rather than "what did you see?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19866191.post-48545997131449325262010-01-27T07:35:20.608-06:002010-01-27T07:35:20.608-06:00Everything you said it so true!
