Texas-Houston

soooo mad!! long vent

One of the teachers that I used to work with in Houston offered in February to make table squares for us to use on the tables.  I gave her the material and the thread to sew them that same month.  She said she would have them done by the end of May when school let out.  May came and we moved from Houston to College Station with no table squares still.  She just recently sent them to us, remember I only have 5 days to the wedding.  I opened them up last night and there were only 13 when she was supposed to make 16 and they weren't even sewn!  She used hemming tape instead.  I was ok with that because I just had to make 3 more.  Well then today I started ironing them and some of them are completely different sizes!!  I told her 35" by 35" squares and they're totally wrong!  Some are 40" by 40", one is 40" by 64", and one is like 2ft by 4ft!!  I'm so pissed!!!!!!!!!!!  I just had to vent because now I have to make some new ones by Saturday and that's only if our 1 JoAnn's store has enough fabric. :-(

    Oh hun, I'm so sorry!  I wish ppl would just say they can't do it anymore if for some reason the work becomes to burdensome.I get that she offered her services free of charge, but you still had expectations based on what she offered.  She should of at least said something sooner.  Grrrrr!  Sorry you are going through all this.I don't have any suggestions for you regarding your table squares, but all I can say, is you need to relax and just work with what you do have and make the best of it.  HUGS

    Well today I'm fine, but last night I was just so upset.  I've been telling her all summer that if she didn't want to do them, just send me the material and it would be fine.  I just wish she had done that.  If it had been her daughters wedding, she would have done them right.  I just don't get it, but oh well I don't have time to worry about them.  I'm just going to use one of the smaller ones on the grooms cake table and make new ones to replace the other messed up ones.
