I feel so sick! :( Not just at the money I've lost, but at the loss of a gift for my brother. I keep praying it will turn up. Has anyone else done anything like this? I will NEVER EVER EVER put a quilt in a plastic bag from a discount store! I feel like I left a kid at the mall. Thanks for letting me vent!
Well, here's a different twist to that story. When I first starting quilting I made a quilt that drove me crazy. I'm a perfectionist and none of the corners or points matched. So I put it in a bag and threw it away. Well, my husband found it and brought it back. (He liked it, by the way._) So here I had it again, didn't know what to do. Well, not only did I throw it away once, I threw it away again. My husband found it again and brought it back. I happened to mention this to a friend one evening when we went to dinner. She said, did you ever hear of the pointless wonder. I said no, so she showed me. We ripped it apart and cut all the corners off a little. Put it back together and I could look at it and actually like it. It is on our bed in the trailer and everyone likes it. (My secret.) ;)
