sewhappy Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Ok Ladies Be honest.. What's the most embarassing thing that you have done in the quilting area? I will begin..I was fairly new to quilting & was VERY inspired by an episode of Simply Quilts & off I went to the LQS. After a awhile of carefully choosing the perfect fabrics & laying them out all over the store, a rather rude employee came to see if she could help me. She was obviously irritated that these blots of fabric would have to be put away so I thought I would bring her down a notch with my experteese. I told her I was making a "Bordello Quilt"....The entire shop fell silent then burst into gales of laughter & I really did not know what was so funny! The rude employee asked if I meant a "Bargello quilt"? I was so embarrassed that even just telling this story now makes my face red!! Oh & the rude emplyee have been very good friends for over 15 yrs now! Whats your quilting embarrassment?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhappy Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 BTW- After all these years I still have NOT had the desire to make a "Bargello" I just cannot bring myself to shop for the fabics for it!!:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Best choose a different shop when you do ! :P:P:P That's funny ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 That is hilarious. The most embarrassing thing I've had is to have a customer show up for a drop off and I forgot she was coming. I was working from home and I often just work when I get up and loose track of time so I was still in my jammies when she came. She was a sweet lady from our guild so I opened the door but boy was I embarrassed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Bordello quilt! :P:P Love it. Or, you could have told her it was your part time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoquilter Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think you should make a Bordello quilt. I could come up with some great ideas for blocks : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzanp Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hope the women doesn't understand french because if you take a letter out, it is really a great word!!! Could get you in trouble here!!!! I haven't made a bloomer for the quilting world but have made a few in french, with my american accent, I have made quite a few, and even got really red from one..... but that's life!!!

KathyA Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 great story. i'm known for sleeping in so when my husband overheard a car load of gals in the driveway say 'she's probably still in bed' he laughed, opened the door and said "YOU"RE RIGHT" and I was. They went for coffee and gave me another 30 minutes. I had over slept for their appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammi357 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 There's the hotel over in Silvergate, (I think) where all the rooms are 'named' instead of numbered, and they're named after a floozy! lol! They're all decorated individually, too. How would they know you were NOT making a bordello quilt?! roflol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
