Red wine is good for such complicated relationships, although not so much for quilts. :D Brave!

Reading other comments, it looks like you had a lot of encouragement regarding the time you had to spend with your seam ripper. We’ve all been there and done that! I look forward to seeing this masterpiece completed.

It’s easier to look at it that way without a hard deadline looming. I always think things will take less time than they do even though I do mentally add time to unstitch. Once I looked at basting as a useful part of sewing (we have to unstitch that) I could slowly adjust my attitude for taking out mistakes. The thing that upsets me is ruining the fabric. There’s only so many options when that happens and sometimes there are no good options at that point. So if I take something out successfully I am grateful I could do so and move on. <br /><br />Your quilt is a masterpiece under construction. It will be so as you adjust the process going forward. This is part of the process of creating. As you get more skilled you can see the future of the project and realize by tweaking or changing direction gives the results you envision. So taking out stitches for 45 minutes isn’t a mistake it is part of the process of getting to you goal. Feel good about the decision and that you stopped at 5 minutes. Masterpieces are planned, techniques tried and evaluated and the results show it. You aren’t a sketch artist who is only going for the idea. You are the artist looking for a lasting piece.

Alas, your son must have solved all his equations without your great input. Not only does that 5 minutes of happy quilting equate to 45 minutes of un-sewing, it is also back-breaking work since you can't go sit in your easy chair to do it. It's nice that you got to chat with your sister while working on it! I also greatly enjoyed the photo from the carpet. Not that I'd ever know what that looks like because I'm never going to lay on the carpet and take a photo. HAHAHA! Thanks for linking up this week. I didn't forget about the fabric, I promise. ~smile~ RoseanneHome Sewn By Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943739387560629258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-86105853506757152492020-04-28T11:09:40.137-04:002020-04-28T11:09:40.137-04:00So quick to sew, so long to unpick.
