    Quilting

    I may have mentioned it before, but Mrs EO has been looking for a new hobby since she retired. She considered blogging, interweb design, petpals, etc etc.

    She finally made her mind up, she wants to go full tilt into quilting. So we headed off to Bambers in Eccles on saturday and got her a sewing machine, material and patterns , plus all the peripherals. She started to make a shoulder bag on sunday am, as a dry run, and she finished it yesterday.

    Now I am no expert on sewing or bags, but blooming heck, it looks brilliant

    She has now asked me if I will design one for her, being a bit creative like. Got some neat ideas already, I think I am going to like this new hobby of hers

    Cue the Urban Dictionary:

    A group of people, usually ages 17-49 that group together and use Quilting as an excuse to practice different variations of Oral, Anal and Vaginal sex with members of not only the opposite sex and same ethnic background but with the same gender and different ethnic backgrounds. The use of various drugs and alcohol also are usually if not always consumed in the process.

    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

        Couldn't she make something useful like a boat?

          I asked her that, obviously.
          she cross-stiched my ear to my forehead, and stuck two 1" grommets up my nostrils

            That would probably be a no then. At least with quilting you won't have to wear any of it? Nice as it is...
