    .... I misread the ruler and I cut an entire line 1/4" too narrow. Of course, it is the last piece of material and now I don't have enough to finish the quilt (as originally planned).

    1. When the quilt pattern only has you buy JUST enough fabric to complete the quilt. Don't they realize I need a margin of error? i.e. Jelly Roll quilts...

    2. When no matter how hard I try, I can't get a perfect quarter inch on my piecing. Good thing I like quilts with "charm". :lol:

    Instead of just setting the iron down for a quick press, I forget and move it around and the blocks :cry: are now out of shape

    I am 'ticked' when the phone rings!! Seems as soon as I am in the middle of anything w/thread involved, the phone rings....and, I 'can't' not answer it due to worry of where kids are, parents needing me, etc....arggh!It does tick me....espec. if it is someone on the other end saying 'what are you doing'?!

    ....the sewing table gets so cluttered that I have to stop and clean up. (I hate cleaning up - childhood trauma :D )

    When I have something big to pin together and it is too big for my table in the sewing room I lay it on my bed to pin…That’s fine until I start to take it off and find that I pinned it TO the bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :oops: :oops: :oops:

    Then Hubby starts laughing at me…”Didn’t you know better than that!!??!!” :roll: :roll: :roll:
