First confession...The room I intend to be my sewing room is horribly messy. I consider it still in the construction phase.
Second confession...I am horrible about finishing projects.
So I ordered a Grace Z44 handquilting fram back in August. I tried to save money by ordering it without a finish. I thought it would not be any big deal to just spray a finish on it and put it together. WRONG! First of all, I didn't sray a finish on it. I decided to get creative and stain it blue. That was a disaster. I couldn't get the stain to go on even. I had drips all over. With two kids, I just didn't have much time to spend on it so I would grab five minutes to sand it, then a couple of days later I would come back for ten minutes to stain. Then I had to do the same to stain the backsides. Anyway, what a mess.
So I finaly get it home to put it together only to find out that since I ordered casters to go on the bottom, I had to replace two of the stained peices with new unfinished peices. At this point I so did not care that they will not match the rest of the frame. It has been over a month and I still do not have this thing together. The instructions are fine, I just have no time to go to the basement to finish putting it together.
Eventually I will get it together and I will make beautiful quilts on my ugly frame! :-)
