1,392
On the left shoulder, the little devil was saying, “Just leave this on the quilt. It doesn’t really matter.” On my right shoulder was the little angel named Kevin. “You are going to take the stitches out . . . aren’t you mother?” 1,392 stitches were picked out and 1,392 stitches have been put back in, in the correct spot. I do feel better. I do feel satisfied knowing that it was the best that needed to be done. When I am applying an embroidery motif, my sewing machine allows me to know how many stitches are within the pattern. Picking them out, it sure felt like more.
