No sympathies please, just send chocolate.

I fee your pain! Been there - done that - Chocolate Helps!

I wish you could share your chocolate and wine with me. I'm making a purse for DIL and tried free motion quilting on it. It isn't pretty. So now I think I better rip it out and try just straight stitching instead.

That's funny because I just came upstairs from my sewing room because I sewed all my browns to cream instead of blue. I knew I should have quit when I got tired. I guess we can both rip tomorrow.HaHa

As much fun as quilting is it can also be a pain (when it comes to ripping). But it is always worth it in the end. Hugs.

Oh how awful! I do feel your pain though, walked into the studio last night only to find that my "darling" kitty, Stitch, had ripped 2 of the squares in the middle of the quilt on the design wall. If I could have found him at that moment, I am sure he would have been hitching down the road. GRRRR!!
