I think it is just too soon after the unexpected death of my dad to sew.. I've put things away and will wait a few days... I just thought it would occupy my mind...

I was FMQ along, about 3/4 way done.... just discovered.. I have FMQ several 2 inch sqs ( unrelated to the Veterns wheelchair quilt) to the back side....

I HATE ripping out quilting..... sigh...

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad.

I agree- I will do almost anything to get out of ripping out quilting.

Im sorry for the loss of your father, never easy. But you MUST GO ON! Take a breather, have a glass of wine and jump right back in. Hang tight. Thoughts and prayers.!

My condolences, Bluteddi. Give yourself as much time as you need. Do things that make you feel good inside even if it just means sitting and thinking or going outside to soak up some natural peace. You'll get back in the sewing groove eventually. Wishing you the best.

So so sorry!!! Losing you Dad is so tough! I'm thinking of you and understand where you are!! Sometimes when I need to just "listen to the rythmn of the machine" I sew together plain 4 1/2 in blocks, then I make a strip, then another. Just blocks and strips. Then I put them my UFO's. Some day they may make a quilt. Maybe not! But it helps me. Hang in there!

I'm sorry about your dad's death. My mom died on March 2. It's tough. Thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry about your loss. I remember how hard it is to loose a beloved father....take some time to yourself, don't be too hard on yourself about the FMQ it is just fabric you are more important. If it makes you feel better, we have all done the same thing....
