We Do Not Care Club

Quilter's Edition 

Founded by Melani Sanders for perimenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women 

Our Founder, Melani Sanders 

Today's Announcements:

As quilters, we do not care if you feel we already have enough fabric; we will buy as much as we like, with no particular purpose in mind. It's our money.  We will spend it anyway we want.  (That goes for thread and notions as well.)

We do not care if you don't want the quilt we made for you.  We spent hundreds of hours and dollars on it.  Take the damn quilt.

We do not care if a quilt at Walmart is a lot cheaper.  We don't sleep well under things made by cheap Pan-Asian labor. For that matter, we don't sleep well period.

We do not care if our scissors are the only ones you can find in the house.  Make your will before touching our fabric scissors.  No really we're serious...make...your...will.

We do not care if we haven't finished our last quilt before we started a new one.  We like starting new projects and this isn't a sprint... it's a marathon.

We do not care if quilting is considered an old lady's hobby.  Age is state of mind, not a number and we are Creatives, not geriatrics. Show some respect.

We do not care if we bought our fabric at a quilt shop, a box store, thrift store or yard sale.  It's pretty.  We like it.  It sews.

We do not care if you think our quilt is not art. Art is not always framed and you are not as smart as you look. 

We do not care if you want us to hem your pants.  We do quilting, not alterations.

We do not care how traditionally we are supposed to be creating our quilts.  It's our quilt; we will make it any damn way we want. 

We do not care if you think our new sewing room made a better guest bedroom.  We do not want guests.  We want a nice quiet place to sew.  

We do not care if you walk in while we are sewing in our bras.  We are hot whether you think so or not. 

We do not care if you don't like the colors in our latest quilt.  If we wanted your opinion, we would have asked for it.  We are no longer taking comments from the peanut gallery.   If you don't know what a peanut gallery is - google it.

And finally, for my bloggers who have stuck with me through thick and thin over the last 16 years...

We do not care if nobody is blogging anymore.  We like blogging since it creates a sense of community and connection.  We will keep blogging until it doesn't give us joy.  Then we'll stop. 

That concludes this session of the We Do Not Care Club, Quilter's Edition.  Since, I have many, many more rants in me, I am sure it won't be the last.  

So, What Do You Not Care About?
