I have a confession. When I am designing projects I never plan anything out. I usually start cutting fabric and see where the project leads. Sometimes I will hit a snag, but usually things go along pretty quickly. Such was not the case with this quilt....
I started with a Brights Jelly Roll and a Say it With Words Comfort of Psalms Panel. I am not going to lie, my lack of preparation going into this quilt, really showed. I felt like I was hitting a snag every time I turned around. After fighting it all day long, I had come to the point of being able to quilt it. I was under a bit of a time crunch so I got in a hurry. The next thing I know, I am standing in front of my husband holding my hand with a shocked look on my face saying, "Honey, I just did something bad." That's right folks, I had just SEWED through my fingernail and finger...not just once, but 3 times! Let me just tell you...it hurts. Not just kind of, either...it really, really, really hurts. Especially when I type...why am I typing, oh the pain and agony.....No really, it is already healing.
With all of that being said. As much as I struggled with this beauty creating her, I have to say, she is now one of my favorites.
Ouch! Been there, done that. I was once told that the issue isn't if...it's when. You are now a blooded quilter!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great!
This is very true Cindy! And thank you!
DeleteOMG. Joyful noises I would not be making if I had just sewn thru my finger 3 different tims. Hope it's doing better now.
