I hardly ever just watch television. I’m either at the computer, at the sewing machine, or at my Handi Quilter, when the TV’s on. Usually I’m only half listening, too.

So there I was, during my staycation (see previous post and the rest of this one), busily piecing my Shake, Rattle, and Roll (I’m doing Rattle), when I hear a voice say “I hear you’re struggling with the quilt!”
Huhhhh??? There was no one here but me and the cats, and this wasn’t one of the cats. (I recognize their voices!)

So she continues, saying that she’s Sandy, and she’s here to help me, with her one-step program to break the quilt habit! Well, I don’t know about you, but to me those are fighting words!!
Then she says “Quilt is towel-speak for air!” What the…?

Imagine my relief when I look up and see a gal with “quilted” paper towels! Those people never understood what “quilted” means anyway! (Remember when the commercials for “quilted” paper towels had a group of ladies around the table quilting… with knitting needles?!)

She ends up with “Try Viva, and Quit the Quilt!” Nope, definitely not my idea of a good commercial. Be still my heart!

So now my staycation is over! Aside from having to round up three cats from under beds and bribe them with food to get them into an inner bathroom with no windows during a tornado warning, we had a great time! I got so much done! I finished up my Handi Quilter Pro-Stitcher Sampler (thanks to Debby Brown).
