So there I was last night at sewing bee - (me and a few friends have been meeting on Thursdays for 20+ years, sewing, knitting, quilting) - and I was telling a tale of an email I had received from a bloggy pal containing a sweary word that was so in context and made me laugh out loud. This then reminded me of an email I had sent my son at work containing such a word. It was returned to me because of a "Profanity Block" (I then received a mild rebuke from said son).
Anyway, quick as a flash, Lorna from
Outside Inspiration, with the benefit and speed of a youthful mind, said, "is that a new patchwork block"..........
..........which got me thinking - have you a block that reduces you to profanity??
In today's shop class, this block had that effect -
**********!!!!!!!!!!********???????!!!!!!!
Ha Ha Ha - that is all so funny!
ReplyDeleteIt might make you feel that way but I would love to see a quilt full of them.

So pleased the **!!*$$£** block made it on to your blog!!! Although what did this block do to deserve the title?? :D
ReplyDeleteI cuss like a sailor, especially when I poke myself with pins. I %@&#%#' hate when that happens!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice, profanity and all.
ReplyDeleteROFL, what did it do to offend? It looks so innocent!
ReplyDeleteHa I had to check back to see whether it was one of my emails, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou know how much I love paper piecing, that always makes me swear.
I love the block, so it was worth the profanity.
Oh Shiela - I can't imagine you swearing! The block looks quite innofensive, but there again I wouldn't know where to start!

ReplyDeleteI have one favourite proffanity that always makes me feel better! And I have had several blocks where said proffanity has come in handy
ReplyDeleteWhat did the poor block do to be so troublesome?! I've not yet discovered my profanity block but I know it's out there...lurking...and rubbing its hands with glee at the thought of all the trouble it's going to cause!
ReplyDeleteOh my bee blocks which came up too small and I had to redo them! Gahhh. Love that you swear Sheila!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of a profanity block!! For me it's more particular days where all the little bugg#rs are profanity blocks rather than a specific block design!
ReplyDeleteI'm sat here wondering if that was my email you were talking about because I remember you telling me about your email to your son. I have lots of swearing quilty blocks and methods. Helps the process along as far as I can tell.
ReplyDeleteCurves will do it for me, every time! Jxo
ReplyDeleteOh I think it is #**!ing marvellous!
