It's Time to Quit When...
It's been one of those days. I kept putting the pieces in the wrong direction, or so I thought. Then I ripped them out only to find I had sewn them on the correct side the first time. After 2-3 times of doing that I just said enough is enough!

That usually happens to me when I'm sewing when I'm tired and fog headed. It used to be that was late at night, so I called it the After Midnight Curse. I've done some spectacular mess ups after midnight. These days, I generally quit for the night at 9, and I still have made some frustrating mistakes.
My latest episode of twitter patedness was to copy the templates for a block from a book, only to fail to recognize I'd moved off of the 12" block pages, and on to a 9" block page... Felt fairly stupid about that. THEN I realized that not all the templates were correctly sized anyway. I'd copied them correctly, but once piece just wasn't right at ALL. I quit and went to bed. Got up the next day and got out my grids and drafted the stupid thing from scratch! It's a fairly annoying book anyway, and has NO assembly instructions for any block, so you're on your own. Which isn't always best for me!

It is time to quit binding when you have sewn the project to your shirt. It is time to stop FMQing when you realize that after 10 minutes of meandering and fighting the machine, you never dropped the feed dogs...
