A ‘Good’ Quilter Knows…

…when to hold them…and when to fold them…and this was definitely the TIME to fold it up and put it away!!

UGH!!  What was I THINKING?? These arthritic fingers and wee pieces did not mix well…

YESTERDAY…I had great plans to make THIS…springgardenmain (1)-001

TODAY…reality set in…the sweet little bunny mat became a not so sweet MUG RUG!!P1250935

Some days are sweeter than others…!!  Yesterday was not such a day…:}}  BUT it was still fun in the Clubhouse…if you censored  the cussing coming from the back of the room!

Have a terrific Tuesday and here’s to happier stitching!~P

PS…ONLY TWO more sleeps until ROAD to California!!! (insert Happy Dance…ohhhh the back.. the back..ohh the back!!)

    Some blue words at the back of the Clubhouse.....were those from you Paulette? Not you! Have fun at Road to California. Shopping therapy will work wonders on your hands and back.

    You were doing a nice job on the piece, but I understand frustration, sometimes it is not worth it.

    Sorry you had a flare up that kept you from doing what you wanted to do. Who is the designer on the bunny and carrot pattern? Cute!

    I tried the binding method you posted a link to earlier this year. Worked like a charm!!! I always struggled with lining up the end pieces. Thank you!!!

    It's hard to tell, how big is the runner and now mug rug? Throw in a ruler with one of the pictures so we can tell.

    Looks cute either way. Hope your back is improving.

    Such a sweet mug rug- love those little bunnies! We do seem to have those days. I just had one myself- making a quilt and it's like I'm sooooo over this (after unpicking spots for the 3rd time!) heehee! Wishing you a better day today!:)

    That is such a cute pattern. What is the name of it? I don't have many Easter projects. Would love to make this one.
