And for that matter, where’s the foot pedal/power cord to my sewing machine? I just got my sewing machine serviced and tuned up. I bought thirty (30!) yards of muslin. I have umpteen pieces of 100% cotton scraps. I’m ready to make me a cathedral windows quilt!
I have your rotary cutter! Yeah. And if you want to see it alive again, you’ll send $50,000 in small unmarked bills to me. Yeah.
evil cackle
Bwaaaahahahaha!
[sub]Or give me some cool user category title. Yeah, that’ll work.[/sub]
Q.E.D.'s right, be hes hiding out behind the shed and hes NOT that big a guy.
You can take 'em.
Oh crap! I’ll get you, Unintentionally Blank!!
[sub]Pssst! I’ll split the loot with you if you shut up and distract her![/sub]
Can I have a hand in this?
Perhaps, I could knock her out with a salami? Or a nice big trout?
No?
Ok, I’ll go now.
drops head
Oh sorry, I was using your power cord to hold my pants up. You see, without a belt, they’ll fall down and then I’d be quite naked.
Still want it back?
Don’t listen to these guys, Lynn. They’ve gone and used your rotary cutter on some rough paper. They now realize they’ve jacked up an eight dollar blade and are just trying to get a little cash for your poor, sweet, abused rotary cutter. Don’t fall for this! Accept the loss, go on with your life, and maybe someday you’ll be able to have another cutter.
Oh look! It was on the floor, under the edge of the sofa! Sorry y’all… um, no hard feelings, right?
Geeze, what’s a guy got to do to make a dishonest buck around here? Sheesh! Ok, Ok, you can all have a cut. Now, cheese it! 
Ohmanohmanohman, Lynn. I wanna see this quilt when it’s done. Whaddaya think…about eight years?
I started my first quilt (a crazy) last summer, and I am STILL embroidering on it. I just know I’ll be old by the time it’s done.
[insert joke about LifeOnWry’s age here]
(sorry!) 
It wasn’t ME! It was the one-armed MAN!
Are things getting so bad in the pit that the mass prunings require a rotary cutter?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Have you checked your car?
That’s where mine is.
LifeOnWry glares at samarm, thinks about retaliating, then walks away, muttering, “damned kids.”
I have absolutely no idea how long it’ll take. I’ve never made ANY sort of quilt before. But the beauty of a cathedral windows quilt is that I can do the muslin windowframes by machine, and then take them along with me wherever I go, and put the windows in by hand. I don’t think I even HAVE enough material for the windows charms, but I expect that I can pick up stuff here and there.
For those of you who have no idea of what I’m talking about:

A traditional charm quilt is made of a variety of fabrics, no two alike, all cut in the same shape. I expect that I’ll have several windows made from the same fabric, as I do have quite a few large scraps of cotton. If I scatter the like fabrics, though, I’m sure that the quilt will have a nice random look to it.
I still haven’t found my rotary cutter OR the power cord. However, I’m getting a lot of spring cleaning done, so it’s not a total loss.
That looks great! I’m going to learn to quilt; I want to make a big beautiful one for my parents’ 25th anniversary.
How about in the Music Conservatory where Prof. Plum is about to use it on Ms. Scarlett?
Lynn - I just happen to have a lovely basket full of assorted calico bits (ranging in size from quarter yards to fat quarters to a few sizable chunks) that I’ve been picking up along the way. I’m doing my spring cleaning too, and I’ve abandoned cotton fabrics in favor of the velvets and silks for crazy quilts. If you can use some more fabric, email me and I’ll ship all this cotton to you. It’s probably about a pound and a half all told.
*I * have your rotary cutter.
I’m selling it on ebay for $72.50…bidding ends in 3…2…there it goes…
FTR, I have two children’s quilts that I nearly completed in *one day * ( an new record for me and I 'm not quite sure exactly what my kids were doing that day, but they are still alive.) however, I cannot seem to remember to buy the stuffing.
Feh.
