This Weekend

We hopped to the country this weekend, with plans to snuggle up at the country cottage, and get a lot of stitching done.  The cel reception is bad there, and we were planning a lovely weekend of no harassing texts.  Well, we packed our backing material, batting, quilts, and bags of quilts to be assembled, and everything looked to be going perfectly.  Then when we got up there, we are sure Brother is to blame is all that we can say.  As soon as we figure out how to dust backing fabric, we plan to search it for kitty paw prints.  Our backing material had been shrunk!  Shrunk too small for the quilt we planned to pop on top of it!  We had looked carefully calculated that backing long ago, and we know the only way it could be too small now is if Brother did a bit of tampering.  And then we went to finish up a few squares, so we could put them in line to be stitched into rows, only to find we were missing the floss necessary to stitch them.  We know it was in the bag with the squares, and we're sure a dusting of that bag will show paw prints!  Stolen floss!  Shrunken backing!  Brother should be ashamed!
