avoiding the frog

[asta]

I must be avoiding my un-sewing, strips and charms all cut and bagged for the black/white swap. Now I have no more excuses so a-frogging I will go!

I have spent more time today frogging, than sewing...
It's just that kind of day.

Frogging just plain stinks! I am excited about the swaps though.

Okay.....I am totally "bum fuzzled".....being a new quilter I see new terms/expressions here all of the time. I have seen this term "frog" or "frogging" many times, what in the world is it?? Please enlighten me. Thanks!

A frog speaks: Ripit ripit AKA ripping out wrong stitches!

Thanks Annika for enlightning me, I also had no idea what it was. I've beens sewing for years and never heard that expression before coming on this board. I learn something new every day!

I learned a new word! I had no idea what it meant either. Well, I guess I went frogging yest. I had a section ~4"x 8" of my baby quilt where the FMQ caused some serious puckers. Fortunately, it was on the border, but still it took a long time to remove the stitches, 1 stitch at a time. I finally got them all removed, pressed that area, & re-did the FMQ. It looks much better now. I finished the binding today, washed it, & it's spread on the floor drying on plastic & beach towels. The baby quilt is headed to S. Mexico for my great nephew's baby boy.

I was removing some FMQ also, making a full size bed quilt for my sister and I was planning on doing a meander throughout but after getting about 1/3 of it finished I decided it was too much and the quilt was getting stiff, took it out and did a cross hatch and now am much happier with it.

Well gee whiz.....learned something new and that I do it all of the time!! I spend lots of "quality" time with my seam ripper on some days.

Hey, I only learned the term 'frogging' a couple of months back too!
I saw a couple a couple of posts, as some of you did, and was totally perplexed, as well. But it's something we all do, for sure!
May your days be FREE of the FROG!
