Too tired to quilt?

But did you have any thread in your bobbin??? ;-) (I just couldn't resist ....)

Sorry things went south for you. Making a quilt for such a worthy cause de serves everything to go smoothly for you. Or one could hope....

t step was piecing a backing for a Wounded Warrior quilt. I carefully measu red the top and cut the first piece of backing generously. Then, I needed t o divide the rest of the backing into two pieces and seam them to the backi ng to make a bigger rectangle. I divided them carefully, changed thread to match, put in a few pins to keep things going smoothly and perfectly stitch ed them together. Right where I'd cut them apart. When you imagine you're t oo tired to sew, maybe you are. It's okay. At least I realized my blunder b efore I blasted the stitching with steam and firmly pressed it. Polly

lol is such a wimpy response. WAAAHAha covers it better. Yes. My dear friend. I did have thread in the bobbin. In the bobbin was 'aubergine'... something apparently nobody else buys so I got a great price on this aurifil color. It's close enough to black/purple/blue that it blends in well and for less than half price. AND . . . much better than no thread at all. I am uninspired so I am finishing up things begun. Butterflys: done. Cherry top: done. Learning triangles other than HST: doing. Thank you, Leslie, for a real belly laugh. Polly

Is there anyone who has not done that?

I've also done the plan a quilt and put an extra round on it for no reason other than a single neuron burping, and then have to piece onto my wide backing.

BTDT! and just yesterday! except, I did it first thing in the morning, before coffee.....I should have read your post first...and had coffee. but, it got fixed and sandwiched. I'm finishing up a small lap quilt, then can start this one. Will there ever be enough time to do all the projects we want? Retirement is looking better and better as I get closer to it!

I love that line from an old movie, "How's this supposed to work if you don't do what I say?" Yes, Amy, get your coffee and read here before you stitch. Not that it will help. I knew better too. Polly
