My grandpa used to say it’s better to keep your mouth shut
and be thought a fool than to open it and let the truth be known. I wish I had
a dollar for every time I opened my mouth when I should have kept it shut. At a
quilt guild board meeting earlier this month we were discussing projects for our
May retreat. It was suggested we could print project photos to show members at
the April meeting. I interrupted and said more of them would be interested if they
could see – and touch – the finished project. I’ll stand by that. Quilters like
to hold fabric when they’re considering whether to use it. It’s a lot harder to
fall in love with a picture. Before I knew it, I’d volunteered to make a sample
quilt in time for the April meeting. I don’t regret it, really. The prints and
the pattern are fun. And the fabric FEELS so nice.
