What Was I Thinking?

I machined sewed the binding on the third strippie quilt and now I have the hand work to do. What was I thinking when I brought this fabric? Sure the girl biker kitty on the back is pretty cute and in some way reminded me of a time when I used to ride on the back of our bike.
So I ask you...how did I miss this 'cat' smoking his cigar?! Please forgive me to whomever will receive this quilt...at least my heart was in the *right* place even if I did overlooked this 'cat with a cigar'!

Pam asked, "What is under your cutting table?" Well, Mary has these wonderful mesh bins. Me? Recycled paper grocery bags with 3 x 5 card labels sorted by color families...maybe someday I will upgrade! Oh...I also spy a little bit of cuttings trash and some, is that fabric?, in a priority mail box!

That is hilarious! Reminds me of a set of window decals I gave to our kids to put on the back of their 5th wheel...one to represent each family member. They were/are really cute...but one day one someone noticed that one of the fingers had pealed off of the dad's hand which was displaying a peace sign..guess which finger had pealed off? yep, the index finger..which left dad flipping the bird. Of course the big joke was that "Gramma gave us a decal that shows dad flipping someone off" good grief!

Snort chortle!! I had to really look hard to find the cigar. But it was a hoot!! I never would have noticed it. Maybe an older gentleman in a wheelchair lap quilt??

My daughter works for Harley and would love that fabric! (She also has 2 cats). I haven't done a strippie quilt yet...it looks like a great way to bust some stash!
