Bless you heart Ditter, so sorry you and The Ripper have to join hands again. Makes for a very disgusting time when you think you are about through. Thinking about you and your extra work. Gerbie

What? This doesn't match, strange I had the quilt turned to the side to make sure I was sewing them together right. I tried the other side, still no match. Then I realized I had the top edge of the quilt towards me when I started matching up the squares!!!!AAARRRRRGGGGG Time to take a break before I put Jack the ripper to work.I have to take out every seam and start over. You can be sure I will make sure I am using the right row for my guidelines this time!!! :| |
Sorry for your trouble. My seam ripper is my friend too!

Where do you get eyebrow shavers? I have never heard of them.

Oh I am so sorry. Please take a long break, and have a cup of tea to come you down before you rip all those seams out. God bless.

Grrrrrrrr. I hate it when that happens!
