Decisions...decisions! Advice needed

I need your opinion, should I use the diamonds or the squares on this quilt? This is a Christmas present for my new daughter in law so it has to be perfect! The picture is below:

I did see it I momentarily forgot the previous attempts by this sicko to spam fetish images to the sewing groups. I strongly recommend reporting this abuse to: snipped-for-privacy@google.com snipped-for-privacy@aol.net snipped-for-privacy@tinyurl.com

Why in the world would this nutjob be posting this crap to a sewing group??? My quilt group has gotten five so far today from this idiot!!

Already done. Though, I might add, it might be more effective if more people complained!!

(I complained to snipped-for-privacy@aol.com - was that not the right one??)

Which I hope all concerned citizens will do. ;-)

Probably fine, I usually use abuse@, all domains *should* have that mailbox.

Okay, let's look at this logically (if one CAN do that with such a looney as the subject) ... the stereotype of a quilter is a sweet old lady in a rocker, lovingly stitching on quilt to keep her family warm, right?

So ... who in the h*ll would have to be so sick, so twisted, so mentally stunted that they'd get their jollies from tormenting and shocking little old ladies???

Seriously, that person should take a quick jump off a tall building. Soon. Please. That is one person we don't need peeing in the gene pool!!

I know what scatologists do and what they're hoping for ... but it's the saddest and most pathetic ones that scat (or hope to scat) little old ladies! Too chicken to scat women his own age, I guess!! o_O Yikes!!!

Hugs!! Connie :)

Absolutely! I got so upset, I put down my quilting and put on my leather jumpsuit, my studded collar and hip-length boots and got out my riding crop and ball gag. Now if I just knew where to find this naughty person, I would apply Discipline.

FWIW, the original post never showed up on my server. I buy usenet service from SuperNews, which has excellent filtering and retention (approximately 4 years in text groups) for a very reasonable price. If you're seeing a lot of spam in newsgroups, you might want to check them out.

Ob Sewing: This all started with a spam mentioning quilting...earlier today I dragged out a 10 year old UFO and got it on the quilting frame. The damn thing has been an albatross for years, and now that I have it on the frame, I see that I shouldn't have been so intimidated by it. It's much prettier than I remembered, and it's going to be easier to quilt than I expected. :-)

Yesterday, I used the new frame to finish quilting some lining material to use for a new parka, which I desperately need. I can hardly wait to start on it!

Daaaaahling! The collar goes onto the neck of the bottom, not the Top!

For shame for making such a fashion faux pas!

NightMist prefers fetish sewing to bridal. (it pays almost as well, is wildly creative, and the clients don't usually come with their mothers in tow)

Good point! I notice that there's also a very active area on eBay for such things as stilletto pumps in sizes 12, 13, etc.

I was having a giggle over the notion that quilters and stitchers are all the same and that they are fair game for shocking.

Honestly, and I thought I mentioned it in my post ... I meant that that seems to be the stereotype of the average quilter.

I'm 38, dress like I'm 19, drive like I'm 16, and listen to music that my kids think is too "rough." And I'm a quilter. So I don't think I'm one to think that all quilters are shawl-wearing, sensible shoes-shod, blue-haired (though I did have blue hair about 5 years ago) little ol' grammas.

My point was that the idiot probably did and was probably gettin' his kicks from the thought of shocking little old ladies - which, IMHO, makes him even MORE pathetic and sad.

And FTR, I prefer "stacked" heels on my boots .... stilettos get stuck between the frickin' wooden floorboards!!

Aha! You make my point for me!!! That simpleton must be a wee bit disappointed by now. I'll bet we could show him a trick or two if we would be willing to touch him with a 20' pole. However, his particular fetish puts him off limits for most. Where's the Lysol?

Your Lysol?

Um ... I think he's *using* it ... if you know what I mean.

I wouldn't ask for it back, if you know what I mean ....

That's what happens when you leave large cylindrical objects lying about. ;)

Ahhh ... seriously though, I thought you were thinking that I was insulting ya'll. Glad to know I misunderstood (cause you know, THAT never happens!! LOL)!

Hugs!! C> > Honestly, and I thought I mentioned it in my post ... I meant that that

No, I figured I just wasn't sufficiently clear. I am 69 years old, can drive competitively though I rarely do, not having a red light and siren anymore, and do like the current music scene. Doesn't hurt to have one kid who is a punk rocker, playing in several bands. Not that I like his brand of punk which I believe is called "thrash" - but there's lots of really good stuff out there. I don't quilt because it's too finicky for me - I think of meself as a "big picture" person. ;-) But I do wear Birks and have a couple of shawls that I wear, especially at night on the ole computer. One I made when learning to use my knitting machine, one a friend made for me. I don't wear it, but I've also got one that's

40 years old that will go through a wedding ring - beautiful thing it is. I want a paisley, and if one ever crosses my path.....

There's little left in the world to shock me, I'm afraid. Disgust, yes. Turn me off, yes. Make me angry even, if there's an unwilling participant or abuser of authority. If I live long enough, I think I'll become an assassin. Who would suspect an 90-year-old woman?

*pauses and rubs eyes* *re-reads post* *reads it again*

DAMN, you are frickin' COOL!!!

You ever want an accomplice, you see me. I'll SO be there. If I see yet another news bit about some poor child who had the horrible misfortune of being born into a family of vicious abusers, I will SNAP. Someone needs to take those a**holes out NOW.

I'll bring the woodchipper and chainsaw!! Or we can just do it a la Dexter (one of my favorite shows - isn't that awful?! LOL!) and dump the bodies overboard in hefty bags. I'd say we could start our new career with our new resident bozo, but I ain't touchin' him - not even with the thickest rubber gloves.

*puts nice stereotypical quilter/mother of two mask back on!!*

Hugs!! Connie :)

The thing that many *younger people* don't realize is that us little old ladies sewing our quilts are the ones changed the world for them. We are the original, hippies, rockers, bra burners, anti war, folk singing, Woodstock people. As you said there's little out there that shocks us anymore. There's plenty that just plain annoys the hell out of me, makes me angry and I frequently would just like to pull someone's britches down and give them a good old smack on the nether region, but that's about it.

We did do that, didn't we? Seventeen Magazine was telling us that we needed to meet Mr. Right and do the June Cleaver thing. Ha! What a crock that was. But the youngsters had best be sure to exercise those rights we fought to get, or they'll be taken away again.
