My first mistake is usually getting up in the morning! IfI don't make mistakes I must be sleeping.

It's called a learning tool! I do it once a day, every day, all day long. I am perfectly imperfect! If I'm really tired, I tend to multi-ply, therefore I take a very long break from whatever it is, I'm working on. Then start fresh the next day or go on to something different. And make more mistakes!

Mistake is my middle name. I'm always making mistakes even when I measure twice and cut once. Just yesterday I tried to squeeze a 19.5 quilt design into a 12.5 size space. I even stitched it out and went on to the next design. It wasn't until I went to the opposite side that I realized my mistake so yes, I stood over the frame for a couple hours frogging all the stitches out and stitching it over with the correct pattern. Sometimes having robotics is not a good thing as it will do whatever you tell it to do.........DUH!!!!! Sure glad I caught it before I put the next section on though. I think I'm the Queen of the Frogging Department.............:-(

Every time I turn around! If one of my mistakes doesn't involve a trip to the emergency room I count myself lucky.

Wow, when I got pregnant on my wedding night (yes we only got one night then he was shipped out) ON THE PILL I was not allowed to call her a mistake. Now I still don't call them mistakes but I do have lots of surprises that Jack the Ripper and I just have to contend with LoL.

I've lost count of my many mistakes, and quilts that aren't quite how I envisioned them. Sometimes you just need to step back, take another look at it, or jut put it away for a while.
