I have had a couple. I do it when I am cutting. I now know never try to cut when the grandkids are over. I have to chang the quilt I am doing because I cut it 2 ins. not 4 for the fram but will find a way to use it later. But it will look nice in a different color.

I have an embroidery machine that I was using a some blocks in a completed quilt. Something went wrong on the embroidery which wound up that I had to remove the design from the quilt (teeny tiny stitches) 2 hours later I finally had it all out. GRRR!

Are you kidding me! YES, the other day. I was trying make a quilt block called card trick. I cut all the pieces out and started sewing the smaller blocks together. I layed out the rows and found the colors did not line up the right way. I tried about twice and then just layed it down. I decided to go on line and look up a utube for making this block. I learned very quickly to lay the colored blocks out first and then pick up to stitch together.

Ugh...anyone else have days like this?
My Charm Pack nightmare was last night!! None of my seams matched up either!!! Maybe it is them, (the charm packs) and not US???
