That didn't sound right.

I have a really cute neighbor girl that lives across the street from me and she came over to talk to me while I was working on my '51 Ford earlier today. I am getting it ready to paint so after I hosed it off I asked her if she wanted to take a spin around the neighborhood.
Of course she was all giddy to go ride in an old car (shes 26) and we took off down the road. She told me she liked fast cars and wanted to know if I would "get into it" for her. :mrgreen:
Little did she know as soon as we were on the main road I nailed it and after spinning the tires through third gear she was squealing like a little girl. When we pulled up to my house we got out and I looked at her pants and she peed all over herself!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
God love her she was so embarrassed, but she thanked me for the ride and told me that she didn't want to go that fast again

I don't know if I'm a puddler or a roller. I've tried both. When I roll, it seems to stiffen up the quilt and it's kinda hard to manuver it around. I also puddle and fold accordian style under the arm. Most of the quilts I make are for Quilts For Kids so they don't really need to be rolled or puddled as they aren't that big.
