Finn sez..."you know you're a quilter when you sit down to eat freshly buttered toast....and glance down as you bite....and there's a thread on it."

I spend my days covered in threads and dog hair. It's what makes my day complete *s*

Nancy said...

LOL! I find threads (and cat hairs) on the oddest things in my house, too. Occupational hazard.

I have thread ends everywhere but I can't say I ever had them on my toast. I like the quilt picture you included with the post. Your last post on counting was great. I often times think we forget what really counts in life though.

That's just too funny! LOL

Or when you are at the grocery store and suddenly discover you have your wrist pincusion on your arm and your tape measure still hanging around your neck. I've done that a couple times LOL!

By now everyone should be used to us having threads all over our clothes - goes with the territory - but to my recollection I've never found any thread in my food.

How funny Finn - thanks so much for sharing!

You could do a whole comedy routine for quilters, like Jeff Foxworthy has for rednecks:

(You might be a redneck if...)

You might be a quilter if...

you have your own parking space at the fabric store.

All you quilters out there, help me out - you might be a quilter if...

What an eye-catching quilt, Finn! Really cute! Still have trouble with our satellite, and it won't let me post on my blog...occasionally it will let me surf and comment on others' blogs. I'm still here, tho. :)

You are a quilter when your friend are always pulling threads off you butt. Even my dogs have threads on them.

So true - I wear suits to work and change out of them the very instant I get home. Yesterday I wore a black cardigan instead, as we were going out to lunch, and my colleagues kept picking bits of thread off my shoulders. It's an occupational hazard.

Hee hee! So true!

By the way, I loved your Election Day Counting post!

I've told my boys for years that thread was biodegradable....it just goes straight thru. They still remind me of telling them that!

Unknown said...

Where else would you keep that special little bit of thread :o))))

Here, it's threads and cat hair.

Like the fabric you used as a center for all those toast-square blocks!

Threads, cat hair...it all tastes the same. Too funny!!

You also know you are a quilter when you have dressed up and find a thread on your stockings when at the party :-)
Lovely blocks.
