    Default How *could* I ?!?

    Friends, I have really blown it.

    I joined an embroidery Block of the Month class. Oh, I thought I was SEW clever. I went to the orientation, I heard that the quilt in question would have an average of SIXTEEN blocks per month. I said, "There's no way I have the bandwidth for 16 embroidery blocks per month." You'd be so proud of me--I said that, out loud, TO the teacher.

    But by then they'd downloaded the introductory files onto a flash drive and written my name on it IN INK. And they showed me the "sampler" quilt that only needed four blocks per month. "Four blocks?" I thought, "I can do four blocks. And, besides, they wrote my name on that flash drive IN INK."

    Foolish, foolish me. Do you know how long a single HoopSisters block takes to embroider? Like FOUR HOURS when you count all the trimming and fussing and folding, etc. etc. etc. Well, now you know--but I didn't.

    And so I am now committed to this massive embroidery project. Granted, the blocks are beautiful. But what am I going to tell all the 2015 Finishing Club members when I can't get anything on my list done because of this BOM club?
