OK girls, I go away for four days and what happens? The forum goes C R A Z Y!!!!. Just love your limericks, I suspect there's an awful lot of truth in them. For those of you who are wondering - Lynnie661 is my little sister,who doesn't quilt (but I'm working on her), but is my soul mate and keeps me sane. The term "hers went in the bin" means she threw it in the trash can. In OZ, a trash can is called a bin.
Hope that clears it up for you. Anyway, keep up the good work, I'm so proud of you all.
Cheerio for now

I thought the bin was probably the trash, but I kept thinking about the time I started a quilt that I just hated. After I did 4 or 6 blocks, I sewed them together, put several borders around it, called it a wall hanging, and put it up for raffle at my husband's family reunion. It brought in a respectable amount of money and lots of favorable responses, but I still just hated it. I was awfully glad it wasn't my family reunion. It would have hit the bin instead of the reunion.
No limmerick tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

With apologies to my fellow Minnesotans:
One cold day, while quilting in Minnesot-er,
A granny talked about a friend who had wrote her.
Bumped her head, she said,
While looking for thread.
It's the truth, but you just can't quote her.

Ok girls, here's another one from me:
I'm off to see my daughter
In a town that has no water
She doesn't quilt
I think I'll wilt
I really should have taught her!
Off to my daughter Mimi in outback Queensland, very dusty, no water, but my darling girl is there with her husband. Shall be back in three days. Cheerio

Judie, I'm not sure which situation, as a mother, I would prefer. My oldest son lives 6 blocks north of me, and my youngest son lives 4 blocks south of me. It must be nice to have to plan to go see one(both) of them.
My most recent effort:
There once was a woman full of heart,
Who hoped to create a work of art.
She decided on a quilt
After all her paint spilt.
She just needs the motivation to start.

Donna Rae, apparently in the procession of creators, a shark comes next. How are things going with your visits to the doc?
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! I have to get all this material, etc. out of my dining room. GrannyH
