A QUILTER IS:Submitted by Carol O’Rear
Someone who is bored silly hearing about other people'sdumb hobbies, such as sky-diving, motorcycling, or stampcollecting, but constantly fascinates everyone she comes
contact with by sharing her quilt and quilting experiences
Someone who cannot see cobwebs hanging from the ceilindustballs under the bed, or a sinkful of dirty dishes, but
can thread a size 10 needle in the dark.
Someone who sees life through the eye of a needle, and
that is a very special thing.
Someone who assiduously clips coupons and hunts for bar
gains at the super market, but buys untold yards of fabr
regardless of price.
Someone who enjoys sewing a quilt, but hides her mendin
until the garments are either outgrown or out of style.
