I am so stupid!

Last year I drew my sister in law for our Christmas drawing decided to make her a quilt since there was not much time I worked on it every free minute. When I came to the last row I went to put it on and found it too short got so mad at myself and had to buy a present for her. I am in the process of converting our computer room into my craft room I pulled out a storage tub with the quilt in it thinking I now have time to try and fix it what did I find? Last year I was trying to put the last row on the side of the quilt!! Maybe I can use it this year !

Sorry, but that's funny! Oh, what a mistake! But now you'll have a lovely quilt to finish. Show us when the top is done! I'd love to see it!

We can make those kinds of mistakes when we're under pressure. Consider it a lesson learned and finish the quilt and give it as a gift this year! That turns a minus into a plus!!

Just think. Christmas shopping started...result . :icon_woohoo:

Love this! So much like something I would have done. And you are definitely NOT stupid, Louise; maybe a tad distracted... :D
Hope you enjoy fixing the quilt, and I'm sure your SIL will love it!

Too funny! Sounds just like something I might do when under pressure and dog tired! :D

But on the bright side, you now will have a finished quilt in no time!! :D

How funny. Did you have a few choice words when you discovered that? lol I have some ufo's in strips folded away, so this is a good warning actually :)

Haste makes waste as they say. But, this serves as a reminder that we are now in August and it is time to for me to get busy on the four or five projects I didn't get finished last year and get them finished up for this year.

Cute story - and I can totally see myself doing something like that.

Oh my dear, I can so relate to that! You know when your are at that point, where you aren't sure if you should laugh or cry. . . yea, YOU know, [me too!]

That is funny but not to you I am sure. But now you can finish it in time for Christmas.

Oh boy - I chuckled out loud on that one! On the bright side - it won't take you long to 'fix' it now!

Sounds like something I would do! You are just ahead of the game for this year. :)

Sounds like something I would do too!

1-maybe she just wasn't meant to have it last Christmas.
2-I most certainly have done this type of thing. More times than I care to count.
3-now you are ahead of the game if this can be a Christmas present this year.
4- how cool, one row to attach and a quilt top is done. Easy peasy!

You are among like souls from all of the others here who admit to doing things like that.

We all have those "duh" moments! On of mine was when I was working on my mom's wall hanging. I was ironing trans-web onto the back of my applique pieces.......a few at a time and then ironing them in place. I picked up one piece and kept trying and trying to get the paper backing to peel off......and I kept trying........getting frustrated because no matter what I did I couldn't get the paper to peel away! After I was completely aggravated I had my "duh" moment......I had not ironed the trans-web to the back of that piece yet!!!! Well Duuhhhh........no wonder the paper would not peel off!!

It happens to all of us sooner or later! :D

Sorry, but it made me giggle....because it sounds exactly like something I would do. I have major perfectionistic tendencies, a bit OCD and get distracted VERY easily! Not a good combination. So glad you didn't toss it and your SIL will have a beautiful quilt. One gift down.... ??? to go.... :)
