Bless your heart. Even in the middle of the day, my lefty lucy and righty tighty are wrong. Being left handed things just are backwards!!!
Next time you decide to quilt at 3 a.m., make sure to have had your coffee FIRST. And maybe a few peices of chocolate to get your mind working.

I am sure you learned these lessons well...and I am pretty sure that you will have to RE-LEARN them later on down the road because you forgot that you learned them the first time. LOL. Thats a sign of getting older. (didn't want to say "AGING, or Dementia").

I used to stay up til 3, doing dollhouse needlepoint, then go to bed when GAC went off the air because the music gave me a tempo to work to.

Thanks so much for the tip on filling the bobbin when FMQ, I have hopes of trying it and that would NEVER have occurred to me.

well at least you can have a sense of humor about it, and I agree with the other posts, 3am is for sleeping, I know at least it is for me, my other half would not apprecite me running my sewing machine at that hour, and it was not for the lack of trying...lol

Thanks for sharing your lessons learned. It always helps to be able to laugh at ourselves! I have learned that my brain shuts down after 9 pm, so no late night or early morning sewing for me!
