Quilter's Zodiac

I love sidebar surfing. Today I was surfing Sam's sidebar and one of

her blogger friends had posted about the Quilter's Zodiac. Had to go

check it out and get a good laugh. My birthday is June 22 which is on

the cusp of Gemini and Cancer. In this article the Gemini side of me

is right on! LOL

Gemini - May 21 to June 21 If Gemini has been fortunate enough to

discover a tutor that has guided their enthusiasm, their quilts will

be imaginative and versatile. If they are self-taught quilters they

will have a treasure trove books, magazines, quilting supplies and

every innovation related to quilting but they probably do not have a

single finished quilt. [That's me!] This won't bother them though as

they will convince everyone, including themselves, that this was

always their plan. Being youthful they love funky projects that use

bright fabrics and dazzling threads; being romantic they love

traditional quilts made with soft pastels and florals; being whimsical

they love the country theme and flannels; being Gemini they love it

all! [Yep!] Being very good with words, they will likely go on to

author books as experts on patchwork and quilting - having never

finished a single project. [LOL! Except I will never finish the book,

either! And yes, I have finished a couple of quilts.]

Cancer - June 22 to July 22 Cancer makes quilts to please themselves

not to showcase. They do appreciate compliments on their work but

being timid they aren't likely to enter a quilt in a competition.They

want their quilts to be practical and comfortable and aren't likely to

hang one on the wall, but actually use them on beds. Being cautious

they are most likely to stick to the traditional designs. They are not

likely to add decorative touches, such as trims or whatnots. They

believe that quilts are naturally beautiful and do not need

embellishments. They love to use dark rich colours in their quilts

considering these as more practical. When they discover a quilt shop
