(take it from someone who knows :-) )<br /><br />But my favorite Bender quote is "Never take to sawin' on the branch that's supportin' you, unless you're bein' hung from it."<br /><br />As to my recent Message from the "Cosmos", it came a few weeks via a quick trip over a dog toy, followed by an unscheduled flight down the stairs that landed me in the ER with badly broken ankle. Recently, a friend told me that Margret Mitchell finally completed Gone With The Wind, during a similar recovery. Maybe her muse and mine once knew each other. :-)<br /><br />Nina, happy Lynn shared her unusual find.NinaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673997575080486274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-830514137661215292010-02-09T13:15:47.745-05:002010-02-09T13:15:47.745-05:00Hmmmm strange things in a new book?

On the other hand, I LOVE finding old bookmarks in used books. A 100 year-old poetry book gifted me with several, from a lock of hair to cross-stiched paper bookmark.Eugenia Tibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747998135360446255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-81805715075168673472010-02-09T12:34:40.550-05:002010-02-09T12:34:40.550-05:00Funny to find in a new quilt book.

They're to me, the most personalized be cause each decorative stitch is a statement the quilter has made. "I think this corner needs a spider web, I think this corner needs silver leaves..." I have a whole stack waiting to be stitched. <br /><br />I'll have to see if I can find that book at the library, pick up a few new stitches.<br /><br />As a side, I've been following forgottenbookmarks for a long time now. Some of the things have been quite poignant, some are hysterical but they're all so interesting.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-40847623650954206982010-02-09T11:43:03.599-05:002010-02-09T11:43:03.599-05:00I actually remember that book - well, the first &q...I actually remember that book - well, the first "Don't Squat With Your Spurs On" book anyway.

I was pretty sure it was ours due to the Penguins of Madagascar bookmark inside. :)<br />JulieBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-72035473874654831322010-02-09T08:26:56.335-05:002010-02-09T08:26:56.335-05:00Lynn,

But, I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it today. Hmm, definitely words of wisdom for me right now especially concerning my job.<br /> On a side note, I am extremely envious of your quilting ambitions. I bought a whole bunch of fat quarters one time on clearance from Wal-mart and held on to them for years. Then I saw an ad on Craigslist which a single stay at home mom posted. She quilts in her spare time. She and her daughter both have cystic-fibrosis and when she is at the hospital, she quilts. I gave all the fat quarters to her, bought extra binding material and fill and she put the whole quilt together for me. And only wanted to charge me $50. I paid $150 because I knew how many hours had gone into it. I still feel I didn't pay enough!<br />Tami<br />JacksonvilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-33996259600110524792010-02-09T07:36:57.341-05:002010-02-09T07:36:57.341-05:00I found this person on twitter.

Great reference tool-perhaps you'll inspire me to work on a crazy quilt next instead of a redwork embroidery piece that I design OR maybe combine the 2 when I finish my first manuscript!!Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117425650190786354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-39040536767909825992010-02-09T06:13:45.611-05:002010-02-09T06:13:45.611-05:00Don't squat with yer spurs on!
