The Fabric Police
There is a law that you cannot leave a state without buying fabric. Soon after I mentioned this in a seminar, I got a phone call from a man who said, “My wife was at your seminar and I understand there is a fabric law.”
“Every quilter knows about this law,” I said.
“Well, I’m a state trooper, and no one at the post knew about this law, but when we checked with our quilting wives, they all knew.”
