YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FABRIC TO FINISH!!!!!
My goal today was to finish this king size quilt I am working on...
.I made such headway but....well...
you all know,
when I went to talley up the fabric for the remaining border....................
NOT ENOUGH
Lucky for the family I was in an easy mood today ....
no stomping my feet,
no back going out from throwing a fit....
Yes, I handled it well. I wore my big girls panties today!!
My son and I went around and hunted down the fabric, only took two stores...
so all is not lost...sheweeeeee
So...while I waited (for the rush hour to be over)
I finished this!!
I received this in the mail from Rhonda from Ravelly....thanks sooooo much, I love love love it!!!
glad it did not take long to find your fabric...your quilt is just adorable! I am so loving the little elf...
ReplyDeleteLove your positivity when faced with your crisis...giggle...and how wonderful that you were able to find the fabric. Your projects are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am! Been there but with not as good an outcome!! Cute lil quilt and towel!
ReplyDeleteAh the joy of doing scrappy quilts....you never "run out" LOL. Yes I have run out, but then I usually change the design.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely turned your down time into productive time. I love your projects.
ReplyDeleteYep! Running out of a certain fabric has happened to me several times. Once, I was unable to find a particular fabric. I'm glad you handled yourself....
ReplyDeleteI see fishy has made his migratory swim you way....Great!!
Take care!
As I read this, I just knew you were going to say the machine was coming unthreaded and jamming--that's what happened to me all day yesterday. But alas, you had another little issue - LOL! Not sure whether I was as "mature" as you about the thread.
ReplyDeleteThat towel is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found the fabric, Barb. That is such a sweet design!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky you found more of the fabric .
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you are well and busy. I seem to have missed you online the last few nights. I have that be attitudes quilt done. I will hopefully get the binding on tonight and send it her way.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, been there and done that! LOL Love how you incorporated some of the Happy Town scraps into the towel! Cute!
ReplyDeleteoh yikes, go to plan B then!? I had it happen to my pineapple quilt I just finished but I had more of another fabric from the quilt so no biggie
ReplyDeleteOne of my biggest fears, which I think contributes to keeping more fabric in one's stash. Glad you had your big girl panties on and didn't get upset and super happy you could find more fabric. Looks like you were still very productive creating beauty. Great job!
