I'd like someone to come up with a straight pin that would penetrate the fabric and NOT MY FINGERS!!!:D

Patterns that are priced ridiculously high, especially when the directions read like they were written by a first-grader!

Expensive fabric.
Just like Lucy on Peanuts say, "It should all be 5 cents". |

Neatnicks that want me to be one! I sew with abandon...I drop pins, I have threads wound in my chair wheels, I sew til late late late at nite, I don't pick up my project ingredients when I am finished and I don't put the cap back on the spray adhesive right when I am done! I do clean up when I get to the point that I can't step over it any more, I am very very organized (drawers and bins all have labels) and I can put my hands on anything I need...even when it is strewn all over the room...but I don't want to have to think about clean up while I am creating! Leave me alone...let me create...I can clean later (any fool can clean, it takes a genius to create art!).

I teach quilting, and one common thing is hear is "I can't do math," or "I don't know fractions on a ruler," or "how much fabric should I get if I need 1/2 yard and 3/8 yard?" I would get rid of the thought in women's brains that says boys are good at math and science and girls are not. We women would NEVER say, "oh, I'm no good at speaking English," or "I'm not able to write a grocery list," yet I hear negative math comments all the time. I also hear things like, "my mother was no good at math either," as if math is genetic! Let's empower women to be smart and teach each other the things we might have missed in school. Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now!

My sometimes inaccurate cutting, my problem sewing consistent 1/4" seams, my ironing and stretching the fabric instead of pressing, my working too fast without thinking first. If I could conquer all of this my quilts would be easier to piece and look fabulous!!
