Phyllis Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 MrMargie..the Frog King. Has a certain ring to it don't ya' think? If you think that it took a long time to frog that just wait until you start long-arming. It takes hours to frog what took just a few minutes or seconds to put in. And yes, I speak from experience....lots and lots of experience! Heard Marilyn Badger say that she never rips out. She just makes the same "mistake" somewhere else on the quilt and then everybody thinks it was done on purpose. Smart lady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyllis Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Julie, just consider those your "humble" blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lym95 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I'm talking about those pieces too, Shana. When whatever you're working on doesn't sew right, or won't come out like you want it to, throw it in a bucket or something and when you don't have anything else to do (yeah, right...) dig all those mistakes out and start sewing them together into a quilt! That's where you can toss all the Crown Royal blue bags as well. Maybe they'll work in there somewhere. Ah well, I'm sure there are enough projects at your place, just like mine, that you don't have time to go digging in the trash for something to work on...

lym95 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 No Phyllis, I don't think I like that! Frog King does have a certain ring to it, but I don't want to be associated with that bell :cool: Besides, now that I've learned from my experience, I don't plan on ever having to frog again... mrmargie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTL Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 The real question, Mr. Margie, is "will you do a second quilt?" If so, then you truly are hooked and there is no hope for you as there is no hope for the rest of us. All the unstitching in the world can't destroy the feeling of holding up a beautiful, finished quilt. Keep quilting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Wait until you hear what his first quilt is...you all will think he really does have a screw loose!! Speaking of Crown Royal bags...my stepson has saved all of his for a quilt. I refused to make it for him so I think he is in the market if anyone is interested...I told him I have morals and won't do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Oh come on Mary Beth - I only have 11 bags saved so far..... And they are Purple - my Favorite color. MrMargie - and do you think that any of us ever "plan" on froggin'? Not me anyhow, it just happens time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Judi, That reminds me of my last plane ride. You know how some of the flight attendants can be funny...wish I had that job, I could drive people crazy. Anyway, the guy was making his announcements and he said, ".....we don't expect a drop in cabin pressure....if we did, we wouldn't have showed up for work today!" (your frogging statement reminded me...that is just how my mind works). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lym95 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well Lynne, I'm not sure if I'll do another quilt or not, but it won't be because of me. I think I'm driving Margie crazy with this one and she may make me vacate the sewing floor of our house. (We used to have a 'sewing room', but it's expanded to virtually the whole upstairs.) I guess I shouldn't wake her up at 3:00 in the morning to ask how I fix this problem or that problem... mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkayr Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Originally posted by lym95 Y'all can believe me or not, but I don't have a problem admitting to Margie when she's right and I'm wrong. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, I acknowledge it. :cool: And to boot: you're a mathematician! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks for the laughs this morning. You're all too funny:) Mr. Marge, you sound like a really cool guy (lucky you, Mrs. Marge) and I hope you will share pictures of your quilt with us.

lym95 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Oh I'll definitely post pictures unless it's a total failure. I'm not one to hide under a bushel...:cool: mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlette Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 MrMargie, You're a hoot!! I must say, I wish my hubby would ask to make a quilt...I'd love it! I'm teaching my grandkids..boys and girls. Started with the eldest girl last spring and then the youngest girl this summer. Now the boys want to do one. I'm teaching a Brownie troop of 8 now..they're making 2 quilts for the Children's Hospital. Keep us posted on your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne4378 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 The Crown Royal quilt has been made. I saw one at QuiltFest in Jacksonville FL last month. I will try to post a pic. Well, can't figure it out. Talk about Dorkiness!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lym95 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Well shoot! I thought we had a unique original going there with the Crown Royal bags... And Linda, the trouble is, Margie is a mathematician as well. There's not a whole lot to argue about with math, it's either right or it's wrong so in our family someone is going to be PROVEN right, or PROVEN wrong. You might as well learn to admit it :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
