That I felt the exact same way several times over the years and still great fabric continues to be loomed. And given these things I can afford to be gracious and leave some great fabric out there for others. <br /><br />After some deep breathing, deliberate cognitive restructuring, and getting as far away from that bolt of fabric as I can - I am usually at peace with myself;)<br /><br />You did the right thing! Just hold on and think about all of the wonderful border prints you already have. Can't wait to see your finished pieces.sewistafashionistahttp://sewstorebought.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-54258041058600178632010-05-28T08:48:47.801-04:002010-05-28T08:48:47.801-04:00This disease is catching.

It adds that little extra mind push to our usual sewing. Just know you don't suffer alone. Is there a 12 step group somewhere?
