She did not, to give her credit, bat an eylid. She searched and opened packets and found me pink pills. She sold them to me, she smiled and, as I was walking out of the shop with my back turned I heard her say,

Now you have my full attention! I want to know how managed to stitch these babies onto your quilt. I suppose it is good to know that if you have a headache you can just take a few off your quilt - haha.
Such a tease!
I once picked coffee beans out of the tray under the self-grind area at the grocery store... to sew onto a quilt!
That's funny! I can just see a new wave of color coded drug addicts: "I'd love to try that, but it's red, and I only take yellow pills!"

You must be tickled pink to have it finished, we cannot wait to see it. AWESOME!!!

So love this post - reminds me of ther time I asked my son (then 18) if he had any condoms or syringes I could have. I too wanted to put them on a quilt (and did). He didn't bat an eyelid either and provided both!!
