Sorry for all your frustrations. About the only way that I can remember to keep from doing that is as soon as I get the backing ready for the frame is to put a Large safety pin in one end, so that I know that end has to be loaded first. Also do the same with the quilt top and batting.

Ah, this is a road that I travel daily. I just found my reading glasses in the refrigerator. I am finishing a flying geese and the geese will fly across the bed, it is for a nonquilter and he will think it is just fine. I know it is hard to find, but there is humor in there somewhere, and year by year it gets easier to find.

I just did something very similar 2 weeks ago. Don't feel alone.

I've had more than my share of "mental-pause" moments myself lately. Is there a cure?

Dear Dear Friends---- We are NOT making mistakes---We are making new Creations. Some of my best work was when I thought I had made a mistake. Relax and enjoy.

When I make the same dumb error twice, I shut everything off and do something else, maybe a cuppa, and go back later

I did that once!!! Now it is my biggest fear and I check the fabic at least twice. I put Safety pin on the edges that are on the bars now, every single time.
