Sometimes even the designer of a quilt goofs up!
by Joanne Hillestad on 03/04/14This post is to inspire all of my quilting friends...
I was excited to show off my new quilt Chopped!. After I posted it to facebook I looked at it closely and realized I PUT THE WHOLE TOP TOGETHER WRONG!!!
Isn't that hilarious? Yes, for you all... not so much for me. I have been ripping it apart and putting it back together all afternoon. It will be my original vision when I am done. I long ago gave up my hatred for that little tool we all dread using... but know it is going to happen... the stitch ripper! Now I just accept it and know that I will be sooooo much happier in the end.
Moral of this story:
Ever great quilter has at least 3 stitch rippers within 10 feet of them at all times.
I'm almost positive this is true! I would be surprised if there isn't one in my nightstand drawer! Maybe your quilting greatness is measured in stitch rippers? Intriguing thought isn't it??
So, Lex is going to suffer a round of accidental pokes from my stitch ripper this time. Who needs Superman with you have quilting notions at the ready???
Happy quilting!
Jo
