BOB and binding width

BOB prefers a 2-1/4” binding on her quilts -

And likes to sew it on using the edge of her walking foot -

So that the front and back binding width are the same size -

But when she sends it to be quilted -

Her friend/quilter prefers a 2-1/2” binding -

Her friend/quilter does GREAT work -

But she sews the binding on with a 1/4” seam -

Which makes it SKINNY on the front -

And FAT on the back -

And that drives BOB NUTS!

I know - I know -

BOB should stop complaining -

And just do it herself -

But her friend/quilter is so GOOD at the rest of it -

And her friend/quilter insists -

That she does the binding -

The same way that BOB taught her -

Many years ago -

But BOB doubts that -

Very much - ;))



But then again - it’s probably just me.

BOB and irons

BOB wants to add her two cents -

To LHQ’s post about her Dead Iron -


BOB thinks that -

If the iron manufacturers -

Would just make irons -

The way they USED to be -

WITHOUT the "auto shut-off" -

They could probably sell a whole bunch of them -

To Quilters EVERYWHERE -

Who would like to have their iron ON -

When they go to press something -

And who are perfectly capable -

Of turning their irons OFF -

When they are done using them -

OH - and by the way -

I don’t want to have to pay EXTRA -

Because you made it "QUILTER-friendly" -

I'm tired of having to pay EXTRA -

Because the word "QUILTER" is on stuff -

AND -

I don't want to have to pay EXTRA -

Because you left OFF that annoying "safety" feature -

Like some of my friends have to pay EXTRA for "sugar-FREE" -

Pay you EXTRA to leave something OUT of the recipe -

Yeah - that makes sense!! - ;))



But then again - it’s probably just me.

BOB and dreams

BOB was dreaming -

The other night -

And when she woke up -

The next morning -

She thought -

“Where do you GO when you GO to sleep? -

What if THAT’S reality -

And THIS -

Is the recurring nightmare?” - ;))



But then again, it’s probably just me.

But then again - it's probably just me.

Bob couldn't care less -

On a recent episode of -

Fairly Legal - USA Channel -

There was an exchange between Ben and Leo -

Ben is a lawyer -

Leo is the personal assistant to the “she” referred to below -

I think that I wrote it all down right -

But - if not - it’s close enough - ;))
===

Ben - What? I could care less if she’s sleeping with him -

Leo - COULDN’T care less -
COULD care less indicates you care ENOUGH to care less -
Of course, how MUCH less you COULD care depends -
On how much you DO care - which is? -

Ben - Zero - and you can’t care less than zero -

Leo - True that - if that were true -

===

BOB agrees with Leo -

And COULDN'T care less if she's sleeping with him -

But -

If Ben cares zero -

And - as he himself said -

You can’t care less than zero -

Why did he say -

He COULD care less? -;))



But then again - it’s probably just me.

BOB and sponsors

BOB recently ran across a blog -

That had a DISCLAIMER -

That admitted that it accepted "compensation" -

From advertising - sponsors - etc.

And then said -

That the "compensation" wouldn't influence -

The "content, topics or posts" on the blog -

Yeah, right!

If you believe that -

I gotta bridge I wanna sell ya - ;))



But then again - it's probably just me.
