My dumb moments was machine quilting in cream on a quilt spent all afternoon doing a wonderful job.
When I took it out and looked at the back and had still got a dark green in the bobbin. Forgot to check
The colour in bobbin.

Years ago in my garment sewing days, I sewed the right sleeve in the left arm hole and the left sleeve in the right armhole. After trying it on I realized my mistake, took it all out and turned around and did the same thing again!
Can you believe the third time I started to do it again, but caught myself after a few inches of sewing. Unbelievable!

I made a Freedom Quilt a few years back. It's a wonky Log Cabin, with the squares tilted one way and then the other. It had been to two quilt shows, and I had it on my bed for several years before I noticed that one of the squares is not tilted according to the pattern of "tilts". Now we'll see how I can keep my mouth shut and not tell anyone else.

LOL! Loved these! I have a good one. Newly married and still in school (aka broke), my husband was working for a furniture company. He would bring left over chintz/cotton fabric home that was appropriate for me to make dresses, etc. (I was student teaching, and needed to look professional on a dime.) Low and behold, we go to a house design open house, (a rather dressy affair), and I am standing there, matching the sofa. I stayed in the kitchen. LOL
so funny

A few years ago I was in a round robbin where we exchanged a piece of focal fabric to be used to make a row, we kept the row we made for our selves. When all rows were completed we got together to exchange rows and asemble our quilts. I was the only one out of the 12 to use my own focal fabric wrong side up! LOL The girles still put notes on fabric for me-THIS SIDE UP-
