Lis is in her sewing room applying sashing to some blocks for her sampler quilt.
Lis (shouts): Aaagh, Al, Al, Al.
Al (rushing upstairs): What is it?
Lis: There's blood, aaagh, blood.
Al: Where from, what have you done?
Lis: I don't know, I'm bleeding.
Al: Sit down sweetie, I'll get a flannel and the first aid box.
Lis: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Al: Just sit down.
Lis: NO! Take the blocks and get the blood out, I'll get a plaster.
Al (mystified) exits to the bathroom with an armful of bloody fabric.
Scene 2
Sometime later, Lis is in her sewing room pressing bloodless fabric blocks..
Lis (speaking to herself): I must blog about this, I think I might have become a real quilter!
Oh Lis I had to giggle! But what did you do? Are you OK?
ReplyDeleteIt was all so vivid!
ReplyDeleteI was cutting threads under my quilt while quilting on my regular machine, and not looking where the scissors were going... Did I mention they were new scissors... Luckily I didn't get any blood on the quilt. You are not alone!!! And Yes, we are real quilters.
