I don't know if you would call this weird or strange, but definitely not in much use nowdays. I am currently out of work and nearly flat broke. I had intended to pay a friend of mine to make my mother a quilt for Christmas. Well without a steady income the quilt thing was out of question as I had no way to pay her for it. Well I went to her house yesterday as she wanted to show me her long arm quilting machine, so I went. I get there and we were discussing the work situation then she just starting digging for some material, handed me a pair of scissors and said start cutting, so I did. Then she told me to plug in the iron and press the seams so I did. What she had done was if I was willing to work, she was willing to help me out on this one. So now we have worked out a deal in which I will do some work for her to pay off the efforts of the quilt. Hopefully this works out well as I would very much like my mom to have a nice quilt for her bed that is in her favorite theme - Chickens. I felt a bit out of my element working in her quilting shop, but at least I got somewhat comfortable with it and I will likely return this coming weekend to do more work for her. I will perhaps probably rake some leaves, bag them, then haul them off for her. Other things include setting up a wireless network for her computers and printers in her house.
