Your bobbin thread runs out four inches from when you will be finished sewing with that color. Happens way too often.

You have 4 rippers, 6 thread snips and goodness knows how many rulers, but none are at hand when you need them. (Or where you thought you last used them)

If I take time off of work specifically to work on quilting projects, it's a guarantee that I will get sick. And when I get sick and try to sew anyway, there's another guarantee - I will cut every piece of fabric too short, and I will sew everything backwards!! I've ruined probably $200 worth of fabric learning that I just can't sew when I'm sick.

I LOVE all of the above. Every single one is absolutely true.

All of my rulers are on one hook. The one I need is never in front.
The minute I sit down, one of the cats wants to go out.
The minute I sit back down after that, I find that I have to go to the bathroom. (or my glasses are in another room)

When you finally find time to work on that quilt your doing ditch work on, every cat in the house finds that quilt irresistible, and no matter how many times you move them, they come back. Until you finally just take machine, quilt and all into another room. One with a door! Lol. I love my kitties, but I hate fighting with them over a quilt.

When you finally find that perfect pattern for that fabric that is too beautiful to cut.... the pattern needs more than you have been saving.... and there is no hope of getting more.

Just when you finish a quilt and you are ready to start that quilt that is entirely of fabrics you have in your stash.... another pattern you just HAVE to make NOW appears ... uses none of the fabrics you were going to be so proud to finally use.

didn't cut fabric for binding and now nothing works...have to go hunting with fabric in my purse.

New blade in the rotary cutter always finds a finger to nick.

LOL! Last week I spent hours looking for one of my patterns...searching high and low and through my piles....then I looked in my pattern drawer for the 2nd time and there it was! Darn poltergiest!

As soon as you sit down to sew the doorbell rings...or the dog needs out...or the phone rings. I need to learn to sew standing up!
