Purple Woman: I have such a hard time threading the needle because I problems with depth perception.
Teacher: Have you tried using a threader?
PW: Yes, but I have a hard time getting the little metal part through the needle. It's the depth perception problem.
Teacher: Oh! Right!
PW: When I drive I make sure I stay far enough away from other cars, but...(and she starts telling us all how she came to have this problem...)
Me (whispering to my mom): Make sure she leaved before us.
Mom: What?
Me: Make sure she leaves before us. Then she won't be driving behind us.
How does one even get a license if they can't see properly?
There's one lady taking the class that is ANNOYING. There's always one, isn't there? She's a know-it-all. She reminds us all, at least every 10 minutes, that she quilts regularly. Keeping in mind that this is a beginners class, I'm really not sure why she's even there. We're making a little sampler, for pete's sake. Why someone who makes a new quilt every other month is in this class is beyond me.
Anyway....
Teacher to Annoying Woman: I love your bag!
AW: I know. We give them away for free.... (and she continues to talk about how great the bag is)
How about "Thank you"? Just a suggestion.
The teacher goes around to us each individually and shows us how to do to the different steps.
Teacher: Now you want to pin together-
AW: I know. I've done this before.
Then I ask again: Why are you here and why did you pay $45 if you didn't want the teacher to teach?
We also found out that the one woman's grandson is a pedophile and has served time for his crime, but it wasn't his fault. Right...because the little green fairies made him try and do the dirty with a 13-year-old. Gross.
Who knew quilting could be so enlightening?

I have so wanted to take a quilting class, my in-laws are amazing quilters and make me feel so inferior lol
Oh goodness! There is definitely nothing more irritating. I'm in class on a daily basis and these kind of people make me very, very frustrated!
lol...look at your learning to quilt. Pretty cool!
Maybe I should join up in one of these groups, the old ladies at these things always have the best stories.
