Hi,
Mostly I've lurked, but after reading the posts today, I have to say this.
I've ALWAYS enjoyed reading Kate's posts. She is such an interesting and creative person, and shouldn't we be celebrating that? Don't we all want to get together with people who are creative and interesting, or do you want to stick with people who spend their lives being boring? That's why we've had discussions in the past about stashes, sewing rooms, sewing machines, etc. I really like seeing pictures of other's sewing rooms, and like looking at their shelving, tables, little personal doo-dads, etc. Personally I don't care WHAT someone sews, as long as they do it! I don't even care what other craft someone does, as long as they do something! If someone makes stained glass, or pottery, or jewelry, or teddy bears, or...........quilts, I'll find them interesting. I have lots of family members who spend all of their time in front of the tv watching boring shows, and I'm with them because I love them, but I couldn't say that they are interesting. If I ever went to Kate's house, I'd be looking at all her things she's made, her stash which is probably really fascinating, and all the little doo-dads that give our sewing rooms personality, and I'll bet she has lots of "findings"
- special laces, and buttons, and ribbons, etc. We know for sure she has chocolate!
So...................let's continue on being "interesting people", and no more whining.
