Re: Quilt Book Titles

Must say, that quilt hoop in the steering wheel did make me go "Hmmmmm". LOL
Great idea for traffic grid locks. ;)

I can just picture Sandy saying, "Geeze! I thought it was bad when they were
using their cars as phone booths!"

Yeah, what happened to anticipation? It's more than a Carly Simon song or
a Heinz catsup ad!

I do have to see what this 90-minute quilt is about. You got me giggling
and agreeing all at the same time! As long as I don't see somebody using
the steering wheel as a hoop and quilting while they're driving, I'll be
able to handle most things.

I was annoyed when overnight deliveries became commonplace--about 15 years
before the Internet--because it meant the world was going faster than
seemed natural to me. It's getting even faster, and more unnatural, as
evidenced by quilt book titles. The latest to tweak my internal clock is
called "90-Minute Quilts". What's next--a crock pot for quilts? "Overnight
Quilts--patterns so simple you can make 'em in your sleep!" Or how 'bout
"Quilts You've Already Made". Maybe it's just self-defense--the older I
get, the more I realize how achieving quality takes time ;-) Still....

Thank you for listening. Sometime today I will spend 10 minutes, or 1/9
the time to make a quilt, in setting up my ironing board and decently,
simply ironing a few tops....
