Would You Rather -



Fight a polar bear or a grizzly bear? That is how my summer was spent, playing the; would you rather game. One of my jobs at work is to oversee the summer interns that work for us. I work in ag research so we spend many an hour outdoors taking samples, monitoring fields etc. The very first day one of the kids asked the above question and thus the summer of would you rather, began. At times I thought I was going to go crazy from this silly game as they would argue as to who had the right answer and then google what they felt was the correct answer on their Iphones to support their argument. The game seemed endless as they never ran out of questions to ask. The very last day they worked one of the last things said to me by one of the boys was a would you rather question.
Summer is gone and we are in the middle of winter and the game continues to haunt me. For Christmas one of my superiors at work placed a wrapped gift on my desk and told me to open it on Christmas day. It was the boxed game of Would you Rather? How funny that these kids are still bringing a smile to all of us months later. So welcome 2012, I think I will start off with my own game of Would You Rather? Let me know your answers.
Would you rather Hand quilt or Machine quilt?
Would you rather use batik fabrics or plaid fabrics?
Would you rather machine piece or appliqué?
Would you rather take a quilting cruise or a weeklong quilt along at home with friends?


You don't stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing.

  11. I would rather machine quilt and piece quilts. I love batiks so that question is a no brainer for me and I think I would rather have a weeklong retreat close to home but then I have never been on a cruise at all.
    It is interesting to see people's preferences.
    Happy New Year to you and yours.
    Regards,
    Anna

  20. I'd rather hand quilt a plaid appliqued piece at home with my friends! I'm glad things are looking up for you, it's scary when your life flips upside down and then spins you around, but hey, Happiness is a choice.
    Best to you in 2012
