Thanks everyone! But Clem I definately have my moments!! One of the eyeglass tops is not the best. I have a few rules I try to follow and one of them is not to repeat a fabric and the other is to space out any particular color so I don't get 4 blues all in one place etc. But I was running out of KDs and down to ones that were too much the same color. I spaced them out the best I could.But when I piece twos together and I sew in a flag method. I usually turn them upside down while sewing. So I have to turn them right side up. Well I ended up with 5 browns all together. But by the time I saw that I was almost done so I shrugged and let it go. Which is hard for me but I didn't want to tear it all apart!

The key chain has two places where the seams don't meet. I don't like to leave it that way. It shows up in the picture more than in real life tho.

And the crowning glory is a piece I was working on for an order going to Kalona(store I sell to). I was hurrying to finish just one more checkbook cover and when I looked I had added the last section upside down and backwards!! The rows weren't right!
I tossed it aside and it is still sitting waiting for me to fix it.

You can see this one is not right. The squares are supposed to be in a line and the triangles are supposed to be going all the same way. Because I turned the twosomes around while piecing and didn't notice it this is all going every which way! It is supposed to be a pattern not a free for all!
I wasn't sure I like this anyway. It is too busy I think. But I was trying something new and don't know til I get it right whether I like it or not. But oh yeah when I screw up it is a good one!!

Don't know what to call it but it is a mess!! LOL

I HATE HATE HATE to rip!!!!!!! But I am good at it! If I do it right and get lucky some times the thread will pull out. I don't rip down the center. I use the ripper to pull out the thread where the seam is sewn and after I get 4 or5 stitches out I have a long enough thread to get ahold of it and I pull and sometimes it will pull a good length of thread out and then I go to the back and do the same thing. It beats holding the two sides open and picking each stitch out. But it doesn't always go that easy. I do love it when the whole length of thread pulls out tho!! If I get the bobbin thread it will usually pull easier and longer. But I still HATE to rip!!
