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 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?

Great post! I didn't even manage to fall asleep yet, but you've already made my day (tomorrow) so much better!!
The first week we were married, my husband took my SEWING! scissors to use for something! I literally screamed at him to NOT use those scissors then I showed him where the utility scissors were. He actually told his mother what had happened because she told me they didn't have special scissors at their house. I informed her that at MY house we do and he is NOT to touch MY scissors. She and I never did get on very well but nobody ever touched my scissors again without permission.
I loved it - I think I have said a few myself
I hope this club is open to all, since I wholeheartedly embrace every sentence in this post. Oh, and I will also keep blogging until I can no longer form a complete sentence! I DO NOT CARE if no one ever reads my posts, either!!!
Amen, sister! I keep blogging. I hope you keep blogging too.
Oh I've seen her and it's all true!
your list is awesome!
one for me, I don't care if you think only hand made trad quilts are valid, or my quilts have too many colors. I think design and originality is the big thing.
Love it!
Funniest quilting humor I have read in ages and it's all true!! Thank you for making my day.
Oh my goodness, this was so refreshingly funny! Thanks for the laughter…..I’m still smiling!
That was wonderful! I'm going to print it and put it on wall of my sewing room! BTW, do we have t-shirts? I know I'm part of the club! Thank you *so* much!
Funny and truth at the same time!!!
Hahaha! I love it but there's one missing, for my household anyway.
We do not care if you are hungry (husband, teenagers). Can't you see I'm busy planning my next (enter one or two from the list) block, quilt, border, backing, colour combo. I don't have time to fix supper.
I bought scissors with green handles when my boys were young to make it easy for them to remember that they have the green light to use the green scissors for anything at all. They can never touch the orange, the black or the blue scissors. Those are MINE. Lol. Enjoy! ;^)
I agree with your I do not care if nobody is blogging anymore. I love the sense of community blogging offers.
Oh you know I'm down for that FOR SURE!
Oh we don't care who joins - we all stand in solidarity!
Alas - I realize that's a thing for most households but since I'm blessed with a retired husband who has a knack for housekeeping and cooking - that is not one of my worries.
on my goshdarnness - i needed to read this today!!! thank you - whether you care or not, thank you!!!
