Good Morning,
My rule is to get up and do something else. Give it time and go back to it. I have saved my un-sewing projects for when my husband says sit with me while he watches his shows.
Every one has those problems ,even the best quilters. For me I am sad to say but for a few years I had the title of best stitch remover. In a class some one would be struggling to un-do and I would do it for them all too quickly. I was good at that,I am not sure what that says about me.

He's a good friend and after a slight paused said "threw it away? Well you're the quilter I guess it must have deserved it." I didn't tell him that I was able to retrieve it later since I didn't put anything on top of it and throwing it away meant throwing it away into my scrap pile. As if I would have actually thrown the fabric away away after paying that price for it!
Anyway, don't give up. One of these days you'll sew it how you like it sewn. Don't forget to threaten it with throwing it out. It worked wonders for me. :)

I can't complain today - yet. I finished a baby quilt last night and just now put it in the washer. It was a kit that my husband bought for me four years ago. It is really cute with appliqued airplanes and hearts. I used flannel for the backing and a pigma pen for the label. The applique, flannel, and pigma pen were all a first for me. I am hoping that it will come out fine after the wash and that I won't be complaining. - Cynthia
