What a waste!

There are no appropriate words to describe my feelings at the moment. Angry, sad or unhappy? Its not angry, perhaps sad and unhappy or a mixture of other feelings as well. I want to start working on the Tea Coaster Exchange as soon as it permits. I know I'm going to be sidetracked once my MBA classes start.

Once the organizer of the exchange announce my partner, I immediately picked a red fabric from my stash collection, cut into appropriate sizes and put aside. Well, its lucky I only did that! Last night I was informed that there is a change in the partnering as someone had been partnered with somebody before. As my new partner does not fancy RED, those pieces goes to my scrap pile. I sincerely hope I could utilised them in my "long-wanted-crazy-quilt" project. Something like these perhaps...

I know I'm out of the league, if I want to come up like the last picture. Whatever it is, as I always say, be proud of your own workmanship. There's effort, determination, sweat and blood in it. (blood for picking your own fingers)

Enjoy your craft and Happy Stitching!
