Crunch Time!& Something From My Heart

 Although I have till Saturday,I don't have till Saturday if I want all the blue lines to be completely disappeared 😄 its hard to get a good picture of stitches especially with white in the background ,today Im working on stitching a Baptist fan pattern around the border edges

last week while checking the back of the quilt I noticed a fold🙆 not just a little but all the way down the 3 rows I'd just spent 2 hours on ,there was no way to fix it except......

and we know what that means! walk away! run! scream if you have to but just walk away!🤣 fixed a bite to eat & watched another episode of  Louisa May Alcott's " Little Men" then tackled the problem ,  realinning the layers & just dove into it,so far today the back is cooperating & not puckering ,I may be burning a lot of the "midnight" oil if I keep checking it every frew stitches 🤣

This quilt has certainly been giving me a run for my money ,if I truly didn't enjoy what I do itd make it go crazy & day forget it ,but isn't that what challenges are all about?    madness? in a good way!🤣

 But then.....another challenge,this one a challenge of the heart ,one that called to walk away again,not because I messed up,not because I gave up but because of words from my dearest friend cut like knife to my very soul  ,as the ph rang Im in the middle of all this redo, she ask what I'm doing ,I should had just said working on my quilt ,after a few choice words from her of why am I even doing this ,Im laughing as I tell her the devils just up in my business but Im gonna press on , she didn't find that funny & basically called me stupid for trying to enter a judged show ,well I could be here all day relaying that conversation but it bout broke me ,I spent the entire day sitting on the lani crying ,I thought about David in the bible when he cried out to God asking why'd his friends hurt him for no reason 

Psalm 55:12-14

King James Version

• "For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him". 
• "But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance". 
• "Which did take sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company". 

In my quiet time I ask would it be so very wrong to just not answer the phone till it's finished?  

I don't claim to be a professional by no means,but I luv what I do along with all the good the bad & the ugly 

For now the back is cooperating & laying flat & that's good enough for me
