We must be related. Maybe your mother and my mother are sisters. My mother’s secret nickname is “The Diva.” Thanks for the great laugh!

I did forget to mention that when I called my mother to tell her I had gotten married, her reply was “Why? Are you pregnant?” Perhaps that explains one of many reasons she wasn’t there.

Howlly Cows! LMAO at your post. Ironically, I was just invited to join a quilt guild a few days ago and was instantly horrified with exactly the images of the kinds of quilters you *spoof* here. For a few minutes I actually examined myself and my newbie quilting to see if something was wrong with me or my aesthetic. (There isn’t.) While I am a Democrat and childfree, I am not a lesbian. (Once explained to a woman, who inquired on my preferences, that I was a dick chick not a lick chick. She replied that was a shame, as she thought I would make a good lesbian. I was complimented.) As far as those who have the time to complain about your post, I say “Get over yourself and get a life.” Don’t like it, move on. And arguing over what constitutes ‘Modern’? Sheesh! Keep up the posts. Enjoyed it greatly. P.S. What the hell is a groat?

Robyn, we don’t care what kind of quilts you make! You are always welcome to hang. We’re as much about having fun as anything. Welcome to the party!

I am not a modern quilter at all and do prefer the more traditional patterns. However, I TOTALLY get that people like that and that we need all kinds to make the world go round. That said. I still loved this. It was soooo funny. Even though I’m not a modern quilter I’ll be back for more. I hope you childless lesbian democrats don’t mind if I hang out here with you. You’re actually quite fun.

LOVE the article! A humor article that pokes fun at all of us reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously. And makes me laugh hysterically! Thanks!

P.S. I now have a strange and rather prurient interest in “scary quilter boys”.

How to explain THAT one to my beloved spouse?

As both a lesbian and a democrat, I want you tknow that I don’t eat groats, and I shower extremely frequently. (I’m a bit OCD about it, actually.) And to throw another spanner in the works, I also have four children! Lesbian Democrats for the win! *heh*

I’m also a contemporary quilter who recognized a long time ago that we all build on each other and nothing’s actually
“new” (I’ll have to tell you how “invented” pinwheels sometime) and my mother (if you paint her in broad strokes) sounds suspiciously like this fictional one. Have you met?
