Aww. I get that way, too, sometimes. I'm trying to force myself to balance a demand for perfection on certain projects with a release of obsessiveness on others. I'm *almost* comfortable with that new approach. . .
That's the story of my life when I sew for others. Sigh....it takes so much longer when I do that. Well, I'm off today so I'm back to the sewing machine after I hand-wash a load of dishes. You have to take the bitter with the sweet in life, even in sewing, I guess!
So amusing with that pun...you make us laugh...really do hope we do meet you someday Barb.... This blogger thing being down means am reposting this as all posts we did during the blog maintenance time disappeared...lost...hopefully they may find them somewhere in the ether and restore them...pity ...as we are having a big giveaway on our blog at moment and will have lost a lot of entrants...
How old is Nathan? ...happy birthday Nathan! It's our middle daughter Shann s 35th birthday so it's party time here this weekend... Hope you have a wonderful weekend too...
Rip IT....RIP IT....but I can guarantee that there was not a smile on my face when I was ripping out for the 2nd time......

For me 'frogging' is part of making a quilt. Painful, but you do what you have to do. What are you doing with those beautiful pinks?
I hate ripping! I have to admit there are some things that I have ripped more than twice.
Aww man! I hope there is a smile today. :)

Poor Barb. I would not have been smiling either. Hope you are finished with the reverse stitch for a bit.
Perfection? Why? Just enjoy the process. Your frog is really cute by the way.
I've taken Perfect off my list of things to do, lol.
Hope you smooth it out today.
Oh dear!!!! I've certainly been there!
Oh Barb, My seam ripper and I are very good friends!
Know the feeling well. But I bet that jumble of fabric is going to be gorgeous when you are done with it.

I love this quote. To me it says should I reach perfection my life was be a bore! I need those imperfections to keep me growing.
oh, it happens. but usually it is well worth the reworking.
I've been hearing that same sound a lot lately
I know the feeling. I ripped out the same seam three times this morning. Just had to have it right!
Oh, I am a pro at it! LOL!!
Oh no! Bummer!!!
the frog looks very happy
Bummer :(
I laughed when I read your post! How true, how true. Sew so ye may rip!
Yea, well that is the only way to do it! I hate it too!
Oh, I'm sorry! But it happens even to the best of us (meaning YOU!).
you are always working on the cutest things.
Don't know what you're working on, but I love the fabrics....I can see why you're going for perfection.
Well, I like to call those moments learning experiences....not that it makes me any happier LOL.

Oh Barb, I too know that feeling well, did it today in fact, twice!!! Arrghh! xo

I know exactly how you feel it is quite frustrating to say the least !
Oh that pun did make us laugh...always enjoy stopping by your place...do hope we meet one day...

Perfection is so overrated, don't you think? Personally, I wouldn't know anything about it. :-)
What a cute little frog! Sorry about all the frog-stitching, though.
