From Don-isewman--I'm just like all quilter. There are times, I've had to rip out, thru out, some of my sewing project's off and on. My sister/law, got this wooden heart item for me she bought at a yard sale, and on this wooden heart. it has a wooden cut out pair of scissors, and next to it has this saying---"As ye sew so shall ye rip" quilte true isn't it.
