Having met Eleanor in person, I gotta say, the title is more apt than you’d think. (Two words: feather boa.) She’s hilarious. Definitely one of a kind. Totally worth learning from if you’re a quilter–or a comedian.

If you knew her, and I do, you’d know that she is anything but clueless. Very smart marketer, this lady.

Why, yes, I do know her. Nice person. Sold lots of books!
Made lots of money! No fail about her.

she is a quilter who is known for throwing the scraps from her quilting
off to the side or over her shoulder if she doesn’t need them. if you
look above her hand you will see a strip of cloth she is throwing away.

It appears my strategery has failed me. Perhaps only the traveler of both time and space can elaboratize my vocalat’n. May Inpu and baby Jesus have mercy on you because Honest Abe is pissed and he doesn’t toss around mercy like a plague-riddled hot potato with a bomb attached When the Levees Break. We’ve all had Good Times, Bad Times. But after all this Communication Breakdown, I don’t know if i’ll Still Be Loving You the way I love Achilles last Stand. You could go to Kashmir or you could take the Stairway to Heaven. Or you could be standing by The Ocean with No Quarter. It’s all up to you.

You have to see it as cute or you’ll go insane. Yesterday a woman in her 80s was telling me about how much her sex life sucked when she was younger. and then her sister’s.

She did mean it. Only a quilter would get it, though.

Actually, she’s a horrible speaker with an awful and inappropriate sense of humor. If I never hear her again it’s too soon. One 90-infomercial to a captive (and I mean not able to leave!) audience was all I will ever need and more.

Seriously…I quilt with these ladies and they all say it! They think it’s funny if not cheezy…young quilters don’t say that…we’re not all Grandmas! LOL

… *snork* That reminds me of my brother, who didn’t get the concept of “x-ing” meaning “crossing” and thought it was pronounced “zing” until last year.
He’s a sophomore in high school.

She was just trying to get info from it. Being able to see Russia from her house means she must have ties to the Russian Mafia too.

She’s not waving. She just threw those STRIPS of fabric over her shoulder. The title is a horrible play on words that we have been laughing at for years at JoAnn Fabrics.

Dilly, did you see Dragon’s comment when you posted? I only saw yours, and didn’t see the intervening comment by Dragon until the following day.

Yes, look at the way she’s tossing that piece of fabric… Clearly this title was an intentional play on words. Clever title FTW!

this thread definitely need to split part way down!
*Re: Spork – I think spork is a lovely name…
* Re: Ryannon – 1,2,3 – all positives in my book
* Re: Avis -would have loved to see that
* Re: all – even if you don’t dance in public you should always dance in the privacy of your own house try it and see if it doesn’t have you smiling in no time
One of my best friends has the ‘white-man-can’t-dance’ disease but he does the “Peanuts/Snoopy” dance and its friggin hilarious

When I hold you in my arms at night
Don’t you know you’re sleeping in the spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You’re telling me the secrets
That you just can’t hide

Probably because it’s a photograph. All things in photographs are frozen in position. If her hand was moving I would be impressed.
