It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

"What a FABULOUS idea," I thought.

I was in a local quilting shop looking for quilt tools and, well, it really DID seem like a great idea. A small roll of masking tape cut to 1/4 inch - you could lay this on your quilt and use it as a stitching guide.

Yeah. Brilliant. Have I used it yet? Well, no. Why not? Well... mostly just because I don't really care all that much if my stitches wander just a bit. I like my "rough hewn" style.

 So this lovely roll of tape sits in my tool box and may never be used.
