Thursday Thirteen # 31







Thirteen Things I've learned in my quilting group

 



  1. It won't kill you to be nice to someone, even if she drives you completely insane.


  2. Good friends stick together through thick and thin.


  3. It is impossible to escape from a boor.


  4. The discovery of a chin hair will derail any other task you are trying to accomplish.


  5. Grinding a bag of cranberries, a whole orange, and a cup of sugar makes a wonderful cranberry relish (and a lovely salad dressing.)


  6. Tradition is a wonderful thing.


  7. So is innovation.


  8. Forty isn't so old.  Neither are 50 or 60.


  9. You never stop mothering, no matter how old the children are.


  10. The right gadget, whether quilting-related or otherwise, can boost your productivity more than you'd think.


  11. Always buy the best fabric you can afford for your own projects.


  12. Always buy the best fabric the recipient can appreciate for projects you're giving away.


  13. She who dies with the most fabric wins.

And a bonus:  Friendships maintained over time are invaluable and worth the effort.

Great list. :) Sounds like a fun quilting group, with the required people that annoy you that you seem to find in every group. ;)

Happy T13. :)

YOu are so right! My favorite was the mothering comment. My mom gets more mothering the older I get! Now that I have those wings she worked so hard for I think she's trying to clip them! Not complaining though! It's nice to be spoiled as a grownup. YOu appreciate it!

This is good stuff about life, not just quilting. I was watching a show the other day and the lady was showing stuff and talking about quilting. It was pretty neat, and being a guy, of course I've only seen the end result, not the process of getting there.

I'm finally getting by and thanking folks for their nice comments to my Mommy Rants. Wow. After reading this list I think a quilting group sounds COOL! And therapeutic.

Having said that, I think getting your psych creds BEFORE parenting was wise. Very wise, lady. EVERY mom should, eh? ;)
