    You are a humble person ( which Jesus said was good). Thanks for the laugh. I had one of those that I studied for about an hour only to realize, it was not continuous!

    Thank you for sharing with us! We all have had our beginner moments - few think to share them with our friends. It could have been worse - you could have tried to sew with the stencil ON the quilt!

    Good one. You did make me chuckle - and taught me a valuable lesson too as I haven't used a stencil yet.

    I'm not laughing. I would probably have done the very same thing. See now that you have shared I know to look for gaps in the stencil. Thank you for the bit of new knowledge.

    It's nice to know we all have moments and can laugh about them and go on. I have been following the Leah Day FMQ class. It is free and I have learned so much from her. I am amazed that a young lady has so much knowledge.

    Thank you all for your kind comments. I am happy to have made you laugh along with me.

    REally, wonder how they do that? I will have to look into those. Thanks for the link.

    Ah, so they are properly called bridges? That makes sense. As with most new endeavours, there is a whole new language to learn.

I know I turned red with embarrassment and no one was around. LOL.
    Luckier I think might be the better way to say it.

    I did find her website, I LOVE it. I think I like her ideas better than my stencil. I've tried out a few already.
