I am sorry that happened to you but at least it can be repaired.
I am making a turkey wall hanging for our home and had it almost finished. held it up to look at.Turned it around and the batting and backing had gotten caught some how and I had to rip it all out!So I am working on it again.Geez. |
Merridancer, how on earth did you manage to leave an entire tape measure in a quilt? LOL

I think the "stupid" things we do just make us human! I know I do plenty of them.

I was so proud of all the different robots and space ships and even a big quarter moon with a cow jumping over it for added interest. (These are for 7 year olds). I downloaded lots of different ones, drew them on iron-on backing, cut them out and then decided to hand sew them on. Without remembering the small, necessary fact of removing the backing, all the while chatting with a friend and doing a lovely job on them. Then just today the cat landed on my lap and I heard paper crinkling...I could just cry I was so mad at myself. Now I'm going to have to cut out some of the applique stitches and with long tweezers pull out the paper, then I can iron them on like they should have been to start with. It will still be ready for Christmas, I know, but it's still maddening. Don't feel bad, just think, you felt good enough to share it with all of us, and that counts for making it all better, in my book at least. I'm still looking for a strip of fabric I know I cut out for a project months ago. Project got finished with a replacement strip, but for the life of me I never did find it. I don't have any pets and DH know better than to venture into the quilting room so it all falls back to me! :-P Have since given up looking. |
Oh no!!!!! Hate when I do stupid stuff!!!
Bless you for your patiences. I am sure the class will love it. |
I blame it on Attention Deficit Disorder which seems to afflict me the worst when I am doing something and talking at the same time!

Chalk it up to "lesson learned". I just got my lesson learned project in the mail. Doesn't it feel good to know that others have their lesson learned projects too? While frustrating, I'll bet you'll never make that mistake again!

I do believe we all have made that mistake or one similar. Anyone who clames not to have made a mistake or several is not telling the troth. Over the many years I have quilted I have made many mistakes and still do :lol:
|
This is not called stupid. It is called experience. Ever heard of an experienced quilter??? Well I am sure that an experienced quilter has made their share of "errors" that cause them to think a second or two before attempting another project of the same.
