Loved it! And, those are SO TRUE!!!!! Let's see, what I learned today was.... when you are washing your fabric, don't overload your washer or dryer or you will get one VERY WRINKLED wad of fabric at the end!!!

when using spray basting, and it says use sparingly....it really means sparingly.....doesn't take much to make it sticky

I've learned that no matter how bad you want to sew, life gets in the way.

Due to Number 3 – sewing a scant ¼ would not be favorable either in my lifetime... 5. When your rotary cutter states SHARP on the package, it REALLY is... 6. Pins hurt when you forget to pick them up off the floor.... 7. My corner/points will never ever be as perfect as yours, so Im not going to compete with you… 8. Due to Number 7, ‘Scrappy’ is my best friend 9. All nighters usually end up with A LOT of mistakes and one wonky quilt.. 10. While in ‘quilting’ mode, Laundry doesn’t get done, dishes don’t get washed. So you better head out to Wally world and buy yourself some underwear, it’ll be a while… oh yea and grab dinner too!!! 11. In the quilting world of scrappy quilts, UGLIES are a must- the uglier the better… 12. Uglies can be beautiful when its cut small enough to actually see how ugly it really is…. 13. 99.9% of the time I will have a thread and or a fabric snippets somewhere on my body… 14. You have a greater chance of locating me by following the trail of fabric snippets i've dropped along the way.. 15. When your machine is having a bad day, plan on having one too.. So, what have you learned lately??? (this is all in good fun) |
The day you decide to sew and leave the house work is the day you get visitors drop in.

No matter how many times you do that seam, it's still going to end up too short.
