The Dark Side of Quilting...

You would never guess it...I never would have believed it myself, until it happened to me.

This picture was taken of me tonight...(he,he,he) I turned into Darth Adrienne right before my innocent daughter's eyes. Why you ask, how did it happen? Well, it all started out very innocently; a sweet little homeschool mom wanting to make a quilt. Sounds simple enough right? Ha! That's what I thought, and then I started trying to tear my fabric to get a straight edge, then came cutting it into 4 inch sqares...it was VERY scary!

I think I am alright now...tomorrow is another day. Those crazy quilts are looking better and better all of the time; no measuring, no worrying about straight lines. :-) I shall overcome my dark side; I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

Well I won't think about that today, I'll that about that tomorrow.

Love one another!~Adrienne

And so true!! Last night, right after I'd just finished sewing all of my pinwheels squares and was laying them out together I realized to my great horror that I'd accidentally pieced some in the wrong direction (like half!!), and so the pinwheels wouldn't all match up white (background) to color/white to color... ARRRRGGGHHH!!! I couldn't believe it... and I quite calmly crossed over too. (the seething was deep on the inside, and I'm certain that my eyes were glowing just like in this pic!) I had to de-thread every single one of those pinwheels, all the way down to the little squares and re-do them completely!! But... it's done now, JOY! And I'm about to go and sew my rows all together.:^) Darth Beth has receded and the flowers are in bloom again!hehehehe
