And really, it doesn't matter what WE think about whether or not you broke your promise. (We're not married to you.) The key is: your spouse felt you did. I would simply apologize, and then come to a revised agreement about what you should do if/when this situation occurs in the future. Best to you, Jillaine |

Best to you, Jillaine I bought quilt binding today - he just laughed and said "what for the WIP's and not a "new" quilt?" I said yep....then he called me a promise breaker! |

guilty!!!! |
Just tell him that you were caught in a catch 22. You can't complete your promise until youbuy the fabric for the backing. :XD:

I have to agree with your daughter. You can't possibly use up all the material for the front and then find you don't have enough for the back.

hmmm, i get that from my hubby sometimes. i try not to buy more really! but if you need a back or binding that does not count. i simply told him it doesn't count and that he does not need another fishing pole unless one of the fifty or more he already has breaks...... LOL
|
Nope, you didn't break your promise! You couldn't finish the WIP without it. Otherwise, it would still just sit as a WIP.
Tell hubby he will appreciate your thriftiness when it is done! :) |
Solution: don't make promises you can't keep. I would NEVER promise to not buy more material. I might promise not to buy any more bullets (don't have a gun) but I sure would never make a promise related to sewing.
