I agree with Nancy--next time check out a Penny's sale catalog! However, also knowing you--you will be determined to prove that these window treatments will not beat you!!!Linda Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250098093891396814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-61246983934909420982010-02-22T04:19:09.551-06:002010-02-22T04:19:09.551-06:00I remember throwing pie crust at the wall in the e...I remember throwing pie crust at the wall in the early years of my marriage, I think it felt kind of good. Sorry you had a bad day, but it did make a good story, lol. I didn't sew at all yesterday, because I have about 100 inches (literally) of Carolina Christmas to rip out, as I sewed the top to the bottom instead of the bottom to the top (or something like that). Marriage is a learning process for husbands too, they just have to know when not to speak. At one point DH learned his lesson, he used to say, "I'm not trying to rush you, and it's no hurry, but have you given any thought about what we're having for supper?", it worked a lot better for him than "What's for supper?". He knew to use the right tone of voice, too.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282145706665260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-11175066172999900112010-02-22T01:26:05.856-06:002010-02-22T01:26:05.856-06:00Lots of wry smiles here in the UK.

I know my limitations, and those of my machine and my sewing space and my iron, and my temper etcetera etcetera. AND I simply can't understand why sewing machine manufacturers haven't understood the frustrations of an empty bobbin; surely it can't be that difficult to fit a buzzer or something to let you know? Best of luck with finishing the curtains today - I bet they don't lay on the floor too long, just think of all that ironing they'll need.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-59596361750612304852010-02-21T23:49:02.239-06:002010-02-21T23:49:02.239-06:00OH, I was empathizing with you big time when I got...OH, I was empathizing with you big time when I got to the part about the bobbin.... happily sewing along and then I finally realize that the bobbin ran out ages ago!!<br />I hate that!

I am sure they will be great when you cut them in half!<br /><br />SheilaCSheilaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524906178087552513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-86308580692397195112010-02-21T23:45:52.092-06:002010-02-21T23:45:52.092-06:00Amy, you are too funny.

Ok, pick it up and finish, you'll feel better and your blood pressure will come back to normal. Then, next time, call Penney's like Nancy suggested! hugs, LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858230629342252482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-53113955410429713242010-02-21T23:08:59.713-06:002010-02-21T23:08:59.713-06:00Amy, I too am laughing,with you, as I can picture ...Amy, I too am laughing,with you, as I can picture the whole scene.

I made 19 foot tall curtains when we moved into our new house, so I completely understand where you are coming from. I wanted the curtains though, and mindset is critical. Who new that quilts were easier than drapes? Really not funny at all, except that we've all been there and done that.scraphappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472985095648633397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-47610963195709627492010-02-21T20:13:45.515-06:002010-02-21T20:13:45.515-06:00I am so sorry........ but i'm sitting here lau...I am so sorry........ but i'm sitting here laughing cause I know this would have been me!!!!<br /><br />Thus the reason I go to the Penney's catalog and dial the 1-800 number.<br /><br />Bless you hon!!
