Has a quilt ever made you cry? Were you crying with frustration, joy, relief, sorrow.... whatever? Tell us about it!
Polly and Pat on her hill still tease me- many years later- about the log cabin blocks that brought me to a weeping hissy fit. I'm sewing log cabin blocks right now and that's what brought up the memory... and this question asking for *your* story.
Long, long ago, I was sewing 120 log cabin blocks for a HUGE king sized quilt. I had started the cutting and sewing early in the morning and by 4 a.m. the following morning I was sewing the final log on all 120 blocks. I was sooooo determined I would not go to bed until all the blocks were done. I finished sewing that last log on all 120 blocks- FINALLY!- reached behind the sewing machine to retrieve the long chain of blocks--- and discovered that I'd run out of bobbin thread on the second block. I had 118 blocks that were 'sewn' with no bobbin thread! I sat my behind right down on the floor and cried my little heart out. Then I went to bed.
There are my two very precious and very beautiful hug quilts- I have had several good cries over each of them and I still get misty when I look at them or tell people about those gorgeous hugs or even think about them. Thank you again for those wonderful tokens of affection and support.
Got a boo-hoo quilt story?
