Love Buzzard's Crafts & Life

When I finally got in bed this morning I looked at the clock and it was fifteen minutes before five.  I did not go to sleep before the alarm went off at seven.   I get up at seven to fix a lunch for Brian since Christy is not here to do it.  As soon as the lunch is packed, I go back to bed.  When I went back to bed this morning I set the alarm for one in the afternoon for I only had an hour or so of work left to do on the quilt.  It was a little after two when I finally stitched the front and back together, turned the quilt, and did the decorative stitching.  I was finished in about an hour and a half.  I probably would have been finished sooner but I forgot that I wanted to put in a new bobbin before I started the decorative stitching and of course about three-fourths of the way around the quilt the bobbin ran out.  Had to fill a bobbin, rethread the machine, and then try to start the stitching in the exact spot that I stopped.  I made it with only one stitch out of place.  I doubt that anyone will ever see the extra stitch.  I think I have finally gotten over my tendency to be a perfectionist for I have realized that it is a waste of time and energy and the cause of a great deal of frustration.
