    Sorry for laughing out loud about this. i think we have all been there and onde that, whether FMQ or just plain piecing blocks. I have FMQ'd part of the rest of the quilt before, plus other scraps on different ones. I feel for you. At least yu can probably see the stitches better on the paper, than on fabric.

    I was showing a finished quilt at "show & tell" at a guild meeting & when the back was turned toward the audience I heard someone starting to CACKLE. She was turning red & people were patting her on the back. When she finally recovered she said it just struck her funny that I had appliqued a few leaves on the back of my quilt and she was thinking of the time she did that to cover up a boo-boo & thought I might have done the same. (She was right)

    Janet FMQ is free motion quilting and LQS is local quilt shop. Sorry, we forget about new ones on the board. I don't know if there is a place on here that lists all of the abrev. or not.

    Why do I always find these threads after my husband goes to bed? I'm chuckling so much I might wake him up. And please know you are not alone. :oops:

    I am guilty of this also, I really felt stupid. I least it still works well.

    That is why I never let my grandchildren or great grandchildren into my sewing room LOL. This sounded so like me, I had to check the avatar to make sure I hadn't posted it. At least you would know where the swifter sweeper brochure was if left it there.

    Fun to read all these. Our little boo-boos make life interesting and give us all a chuckle after we get them repaired.
