    Help! I need Curses!

    Back in ancient history in both Greece and Rome archaeologists have found repositories of clay and metal tablets in certain wells. Apparently you would go to the temple, pay money and the person in charge would take your curse and write it on a tablet. You would throw it in the cursing well and voilá your curse would come true vanquishing your enemy.

    Some of them are quite nasty let me tell you. But I thought it would be fun to make a quilter's curses quilt. They should be amusing or expressions of frustration. Here is what I have so far and you all can probably do much better.....

    1. May Hecate foul the warp and weft of her fabric so it is never on the straight of grain.

    2. May Marian find strange Puckers in her pieced squares.

    3. May Lynn always have an iron that is just short of hot enough.

    I am going to love seeing what you come up with and thanks in advance.

    May *insert name here* never achieve the perfect scant quarter inch seam.
    Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down the their level and beat you with experience.
