When you need to go to your back-up machine, something will need to be fiddled with before it sews like it should. (I think this is because it's feelings are hurt that you no longer use it every day.)
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
When you need to go to your back-up machine, something will need to be fiddled with before it sews like it should. (I think this is because it's feelings are hurt that you no longer use it every day.)
If you make a UFO list to turn into the Guild for the UFO challenge, immediately after you send it in, you discover another 5 or 6 projects that you forgot about and the list can't be changed. And naturally, those are the ones you want to work on.

New blade in the rotary cutter always finds a finger to nick.
Your bobbin thread runs out four inches from when you will be finished sewing with that color. Happens way too often.

When there's only 1 square left to do and no extra fabric, you spill tea on it...or soda.

Or you lost your reading glasses and find it at the next stitch in, it was in your machine tote bag the whole time!
take plenty of pic of family & friends, keep tabs on loved ones but make time for yourself !
You have 4 rippers, 6 thread snips and goodness knows how many rulers, but none are at hand when you need them. (Or where you thought you last used them)
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down the their level and beat you with experience.
If I take time off of work specifically to work on quilting projects, it's a guarantee that I will get sick. And when I get sick and try to sew anyway, there's another guarantee - I will cut every piece of fabric too short, and I will sew everything backwards!! I've ruined probably $200 worth of fabric learning that I just can't sew when I'm sick.
I LOVE all of the above. Every single one is absolutely true.
All of my rulers are on one hook. The one I need is never in front.
The minute I sit down, one of the cats wants to go out.
The minute I sit back down after that, I find that I have to go to the bathroom. (or my glasses are in another room)
Life is not a movie. No one is going to yell "CUT" when you make a mistake. - Anne L. Fulton
When you finally find time to work on that quilt your doing ditch work on, every cat in the house finds that quilt irresistible, and no matter how many times you move them, they come back. Until you finally just take machine, quilt and all into another room. One with a door! Lol. I love my kitties, but I hate fighting with them over a quilt.
