Category: Quilting Humor

Humor is so important for our mental and physical health. I thought all of us would benefit from quilting humor.

We need to laugh together, and also at ourselves. Laughter helps make each day better.

Quilting humor may not be funny to anyone else, but we quilters understand it just fine.

“If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane.”
― Robert Frost

“Life is worth living as long as there’s a laugh in it.”
― Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“Always laugh when you can, it is cheap medicine.”
― Lord Byron

“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.”
― Victor Borge

LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH

LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH

Sometimes, we all just need to stop – take a deep breath – and look around us for things that make us happy. Then there is laughter. Both the Bible and doctors say that laughter is good for our health. I know…I know. I did not post last week. The time just got away. Between working, cleaning up in the garden, painting the kitchen, and finishing the binding on a quilt the week was over before it occurred to me…

Some days a good dose of humor, quilting, and getting by is the best place to be. This past week has been a “grin and bear it” kind of week. Having a sense of humor, and a quilting project to work on is the best thing that happened each day. The small things…

“UGLY FABRIC” (what should I do with it?)

“UGLY FABRIC” (what should I do with it?)

Most of us quilters have come up against the problem of “ugly fabric” (what should I do with it?) After all, it followed me home. It is just fine to describe a fabric as “ugly” – we are talking about an object. All of us have a different opinion of what we think of as beautiful vs. ugly fabric and there is no reason not to be honest. After all, if everyone liked the same colors and designs there would…

ANOTHER BOX OF FABRIC

ANOTHER BOX OF FABRIC

I love my mom-in-law, she is such a cool lady. She does not quilt, but she loves my quilts. Over the years she has given me many, many yards of quilting fabrics for holidays, birthdays, and just because. Today the UPS man showed up with another box of fabric from her – just because. The mom-in-law is a wonderful oil painter of scenery. We have entirely different tastes in color, patterns, and end products. That is one reason why I…

Remember the saying “Laughter is the best medicine”? This week has been rough. We need something light hearted in the midst of all the anger and fear being projected by events and media. Quilters – laughter is good for us. Let me encourage you, this time shall pass. The year of 2020, which started with promise, has deteriorated into a full blown mess.
