I've been betrayed..

Bushwhacked, let-down, double crossed, and picked on all over a quilt!! Can you believe it?.. this little podunk, terrible, awful, cute little fifth grader ratted me out - all over a quilt!!! It was a sad day in the 5th grade when I realized how quickly the little dudes and dudettes could be bought!

And - need I remind you it was ALL over a quilt. Which quilt is that you ask?... well let me show you! This wonderful John Deere print quilt came to us from Rebecca B, and I thought - Nice - I will go share that with the classes - I bet they will like it. Well not only do they like it - no less than 15 kids WANT it... See if I ever share with them again (*grin*)

How did this horrible betrayal happen you ask? I had 4 wonderful charming young 5th graders at the sewing machines, sewing so nicely away - and up came the subject of how old I was. I was so soothed by the sounds of the sewing machines - I think I told the truth!!! And then I quickly amended that to 29! Because truly I AM 29... I am - really!!! So these cute children said they would keep my udderly horrible secret and tell the world that I am 29....

Except that when we went into the classroom, the whole class started asking about the John Deere quilt, and were saying how much they liked it... and the teacher ( the teacher! Yes - can you believe it) offered a bribe - that maybe she could auction the quilt off for the truth of my age... and this cute little horrible wretched boy - he didn't even breathe or miss a beat... said my REAL AGE!!

~

Ha! and he thought he was getting that quilt.... well they get to look at it for one more day - and that's it - I am TAKING it back!!! And I'm not even gonna share my little stash of J.D. Fabric with him.

~

AND - he is no longer my new best friend! Nope I will have to find another one now!! *Disclaimer* None of the children in the pictures were involved in the "incident"

Okay - I am done venting - want to see some cute kids sewing for soldiers? They sewed thru classes and thru recesses and up to lunch... we got 2 1/2 tops done today, and quite a few blocks for another quilt.

And BTW - this quilt here on the blog makes 300!!! YES we are 75% of the way there!!!!

Hope you all have a good one, and I will be back with some finishes from this week....
