A QUILTER IS:
Someone who can not see
cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, dust balls under the bed,
or a sinkful of dirty dishes, but can thread a size 10 quilting needle in the
dark.
Someone who has not been able
to balance her check book since October 1979,
but can figure the yardage requirements for a log cabin quilt and have just
enough left over to make a pincushion.
Someone who assiduously
clips coupons and hunts for bargains at the supermarket,
but buys untold yards of fabric, regardless of price.
