If you are a new quilter or think that someone of my experience has smooth sailing through all the quilting ups and downs Think again!!!
I can usually pick out part of a seam and fix the problem and then resew the affected area. Not today!!!!!!! I feel like throwing the thing as far as I can and starting over!!! I picked out the seam in part in two places after I tried to tame it with a second seam. I decided it still didn't lay down flat right so I decided to take the seams out . Well when I resewed after fixing it or so I thought now it looks like this!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Oh I will go back and fix it right but i just needed to vent first!!!! It is all twisted now --definately not laying flat!!!!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]42735[/ATTACH] |
Take a deep breath! Go do something else for a bit, then go back to it! I hate when someTHING like that gets to me. It does help to vent. {{{hugs}}}

I am ok now. I have taken the seams back apart and will start over here in a little bit.
I had a lady tell me recently that she was intimidated by the perfect quilts she saw on her and by my work. I was thinking if you only knew!!! So here is the proof I am not a perfect quilter!!! I have more of these moments than I care to admit!! |
Perfect or not, it will be beautiful!

Poor Rhonda, we all have good days and bad days. Have an early night and sleep on it. It will seem a whole lot better in the morning.
Ooopps, I just wrote the above because it's my bedtime, but the clock on the left is saying 13.25 - what time is it where you are? If an early night isn't appropriate, then just have a break and if all else fails, eat chocolate! |
Thanks, on behalf of us newbies who assume that experienced quilters never have any snafus. It's comforting to know that the quilting gremlins can attack any place, any time...not just at MY house. :lol: :lol:
Love the colors in the block and look forward to seeing the finished quilt in the future. |

Rhonda....get yourself a big mallet.
When the seams don't want to play nice, take the mallet out and show it to the seams. They'll play nice. If not...USE the mallet! ;) |
