You are hanging that beautiful blue and yellow wallhanging in your daughter's room and all of a sudden you see that one small half square triangle that is rotated 1/4 turn from where it should be. You scream and then swear that you will never tell a soul since it's not that noticeable. Then your daughter comes in the next morning and says "Mom I couldn't sleep last night and I was counting the squares in that wallhanging, and did you know that......" well, whatever, it is what it is. Things happen.

These are so funny, and I think I've done them all. Especially sewing like crazy only to find out the bobbin was out of thread after the first 2-3 stitches. My personal favorite is my 2-3 year old grandson crawling under the table and pushing the foot petal full speed ahead. Can't thread the needle that way!!!

Just when you get into the quilting mode, everything is going good, the cat decides that under the sewing table is a good place to take a nap. When you stop sewing to reposition the quilt, he rolls over onto the foot pedal and starts sewing. I thought my sewing machine was haunted or something.
