But I digress. We were supposed to go to a late lunch between 3 and 4, and I waited until 10 am to start this piece. It was going to be a quiltlet, but turned into a real disaster.

It was a good thing I had already gotten him a gift, or the day would have been ruined, at least on my part. Tomorrow I will make another one and learn from my mistakes. I will NOT try to rush it as I did today. In fact, I could write volumes about what I did wrong today, including getting the candles too skinny. I could also write volumes about what I learned, including the fact that the lovely fabric in the background does not tear crosswise (only lengthwise), unlike muslin, which tears in both directions.
Again I digress!! The really sad thing is, we ended up not going to dinner until around 7, so I would have had plenty of time to make another one, had I stayed home. One nice thing is, I can consider this one a practice piece and truly learn from my mistakes. Hopefully, the next one will look better because I won't have started it three hours before I needed it finished :>)
