I live over by Woodard Chevrolet. Do you belong to the quilting guild here in town? I've been thinking of making a meeting one Wed night when they are at the quilt shop.

I don't belong to it, but have thought about going to a meeting also. None of my friends quilt and I think it would be great to have a place to get advice and/or help. I've been sewing forever, but started quilting in 2003 so any advice would be SO welcomed.
I started emailing back and forth with GailG from this board and I love her and wish she was my next door neighbor!
Let me know if you are going to a meeting of the NorthWind Quilters.

Thanks Dona, my feelings are mutual. We're our own long-distance mini guild. :lol:

Hi Gail,
I really mean it... we seem to have so much in common and I would love to sit over coffee and talk quilts and cakes with you! Wouldn't you like to move to CA????

HMMM, I'll have to think about that. :lol: Wouldn't you like to move to Cajun country?? I would like to visit your neck of the woods. I've never been to CA.

Coffee and brownies would be awesome to go with all that chatter we could produce. lol

I think it's too late for the stupid stick Someone beat us to it. :lol: :lol: :lol: . I wish I could say I never did anything like that. Well, now you know why I always buy a little extra fabric. My favorite expressions seems to be.......................AWE CRAAAP!

Oh, Jackie... that is too funny! But I can identify with that too!

Now, now! It's Quilt Karma. You shake yourself of the bad vibes and you're going to have to move on by going to the fabric shop and balance the Yin & Yang of your interself and purchase more fabric. That is what I do when I make a slight error and they have been known to happen.

Isn't this a GREAT bunch of folks that we have on this board. I love the positive spin everyone ALWAYS has on what might be considered a mistake or stupidity or ???? Mammabird, you don't need a stupid stick because every PERCEIVED mistake is a learning tool for our future. Enjoy your project and at the time (in the future) when you use up your strips that were a "mistake" , you'll have fond memories of the old project; the anxiety you had and how glad you are that this happened because now the current project is being completed more quickly using the "mistakes" that are all cut and ready to be sewn,. :wink:

Somewhere down the road you are going to take those lemons ( wrong cut strips) and make some wonderful lemonade. Uuummm what is that song, There is a reason for everything under the sun. Hard part is finding it now, maybe not for you but in a swap or charity event where the other person is just waiting for it to come along.

Good luck! Remember only God is perfect, our quilts don't need to be.
