I have had a couple. I do it when I am cutting. I now know never try to cut when the grandkids are over. I have to chang the quilt I am doing because I cut it 2 ins. not 4 for the fram but will find a way to use it later. But it will look nice in a different color.

Maybe the question should be, "Anyone NOT had a day like this?" So sorry! Tomorrow is always my favorite day!

I have an embroidery machine that I was using a some blocks in a completed quilt. Something went wrong on the embroidery which wound up that I had to remove the design from the quilt (teeny tiny stitches) 2 hours later I finally had it all out. GRRR!

I have one sitting in the corner like that! I do not want to remove all those tiny stitches! Someday I will.

I requested the quilt kit. I am so excited about this, something to give back!

Are you kidding me! YES, the other day. I was trying make a quilt block called card trick. I cut all the pieces out and started sewing the smaller blocks together. I layed out the rows and found the colors did not line up the right way. I tried about twice and then just layed it down. I decided to go on line and look up a utube for making this block. I learned very quickly to lay the colored blocks out first and then pick up to stitch together.

The quilt will comfort and be loved by a child and they don't care if it isn't perfect. There aren't quilt police on the recieving end and if there are you'll never know. lol

Ugh...anyone else have days like this?


My Charm Pack nightmare was last night!! None of my seams matched up either!!! Maybe it is them, (the charm packs) and not US???
