Thinking of Quilting School Already

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I think, when I retire in a few years, I'm going to need a hobby that isn't going to require crawling around old bridges. (See my blog to learn about my second career as a bridge hunter.)

So is there a school that teaches quilting?

You need to be a HBOT tech... the words of wisdom and comfort you could impart would be invaluable.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Nah, I said HOBBY...bot HBOT.

But think about all the time you would have to quilt while watching the poor sucker in the tank!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Quilt teasing me.

 

[katie0128]

Just trying to keep you in stitches.

Oh, I've always wanted to learn how to quilt. Hurry up and learn so you can teach me!

KG- get one of the books from the "Quilt in a Day" series. I made one for myself that way. (Of course, I think it's wadded up in a box in the basement since we moved 5 years ago...)It's comforting to work on something like that.

Isn't quiliting kinda square?

 

[chefann]

But in the words of Huey Lewis: It's hip to be square.Or in the case of VERY elderly quilters, it's broken hip to be square.

There are enough square/thread/needle jokes in quilting to keep this thread going longer than that stupid stripper thread.

I took a quilting class at my local community college. Poor teacher didn't know what she was getting into! I got there early because I didn't even know how to thread my machine!! Never even used it before -hahaha. I loved it though! I know some of our local quilt shops offer classes as well. I think one of our fabric stores even offers some.

We just had a quilting class at camp for the Women's Retreat this weekend so I had to visit this parody...besides I'm always fascinated by qu words....why isn't it just spelled kwilting? Why do we need more letters for a sound we already have?

 

[katie0128]

sometimes it's more phun that way.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Oh, be quiet.
