#1 pet peeve: my own sewing skills: after measuring and measuring and sewing carefully and measuring, then cutting off excess only to find that the piece is too small. and I keep doing it!
#2 pet peeve: being told that scrappy quilts and quilts for dogs are not REAL quilts ... and ... "When are you going to do a whole quilt?"
Someday I will grow up enough to wear my big girl panties and let things like these go ... until then, I'm here!
