While I'm piecing a block, I lose one of the pieces I've cut out! Where could it go? I know I saw it just a second ago. I check the floor, my lap, under the cat, under my block in progress. I usually find it , but i have had a few times, the fabric just disappeared.
Guess that makes me a magician! ;0

What is it about quilting that annoys me? After thinking this over I have to say it boils down to myself. Getting caught up in limitations that are to be frank, self-imposed. For instance, fabrics that have a bad memory attached to them. If I could look at fabric as a blank slate, with no other purpose than will it work for the project at hand, things would probably move forward much faster. So why is it all so hard? I can sit all day analyzing, graphing out a pattern, planning, auditioning which fabrics to use or not and end up walking away totally exhausted having accomplished nothing.
Yikes! So scary to bare your soul to the world!

I guess being left-handed is annoying at times. It is definitely a right handed world. My mother-in-law gave me a Gingher Left-handed scissors years ago. It works so well for me, the slant of the blade works great. I could go on and on about left-handedness. The latest, doesn't involve sewing but the self check outs in stores is weird for me. Cars having the majority controls on the right, Patterns usually being for right handed, etc., etc., etc. I just had to vent.
