My great-grandma was quilter. She was also reeeealy wanky. As in believed AIDS was caused by malnutrition and a Vast Zionist Conspiracy wanky. Or possibly the Masons, I forget which. So yes, if my sample of one is accurate, quilters are wankier then hell.

She did make a really awesome quilt for me they year I was born. It's got the usual booties and bells and flowers and things, and then it has Mt. St. Helens erupting.

	"And then it has Mt. St. Helens erupting" For this alone, I am willing to forgive your grandmother her wankiness. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There were a few awesome things about her. She was an early science-fiction fan who knew L. Ron Hubbard (and didn't like him). And she wrote bad poetry. It was her second husband that gave her all the batshit ideas as she got significantly better after he passed away. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	and then it has Mt. St. Helens erupting. Remembering my son's delicate digestive system when he was a baby, I can sort of see why she might have done this. And even if you weren't a spewer like he was, it's still hilarious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	it has Mt. St. Helens erupting Rock on, Granny. (Personal story: When that thing blew up I was a kid in Georgia and I thought the ash falling out of the sky was soooooo cool. Volcanic ash, ya'll!) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	LOL, I (obviously) don't remember, being born in March of that year. When I was a kid Dad took me camping up there, though, and it freaked me out. I thought I could feel it rumbling underneath my feet (it was just the really strong wind making rumbling noises) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quilting is about the most anal-retentive hobby I could possibly imagine, and I say this as someone who makes extremely small jewelry pieces. So I can only guess as to what the wank level is like. (Reply to this)(Parent)
