Way to go! :thumbup: I also just joined a BOM at a LQS. This is the first time I have ever done one. What made me decide to do it was I flipped over the colors in it. I'm not good at picking colors so this is working perfectly. For $1 a month, you get the pattern and the precut strips. Bring it in completed the next month to get your next kit. You can also buy a finishing kit, which I did. Now to just get started! :oops:

Thank you everybody. It is good to not feel that way again. My DH brought my machine in from my van and guess what he did? He set it on my table backwards. The machine is too heavy for me to heave over let alone turn it around. He knows this. I think he was getting back at me for having dinner alone at his favorite restaurant to have cheese fondue when I was out for the Bernina class.

We don't have ANY quilt shops, never mind clubs, and the one group I found that was friendly is nearly an hour's drive from home (depending on traffic). Since I spent $84 yesterday to fill the car from 1/4 tank to full I'd rather not drive that far unless I really must.
I even have a project sitting on my sewing table, but the most I can do is one or two seams and then I lose interest and wander away to the television or computer. I don't know why I feel like a new machine would make the slightest bit of difference to that. I suppose even at one seam per day, I might finish a simple block in a week.
About matching seams? One of my blocks was slightly off and I was NOT in the mood to unstitch it again. Out came a metal ruler and a fabric marker to match the offending piece. It now looks perfect unless you get really close!!
End of venting -- anyway, you're not alone!

Maybe once my thyroid meds start kicking in that will help. But it is kind of depressing when you want to do something and just can't make yourself. I would love to take a class but right now just don't have the money. We have so many family dynamics going on in our house. I wish I could go somewhere and just sew for 3 days..LOL..Just venting. I will go back and read what the last suggestions were for getting back on track. thanks
