Hi.....I'm new here although I've been lurking for the last few months. This seems like a great board to make new friends and have some fun with quilting. I've sewn/quilted a little bit in the past but would like to get more involved. Of course I've started a respectable stash but now I should start some of those big projects I daydream about. I'm sure I'll get good advice and motivation here. Just need to buy one of those galloping horses for when I critique my own work.

Will add more soon.

The best way to critique your own work is to not do it. And have a non sewing, non quilter go over it.. they wont see those little things that you think stand out like a sore thumb. We know which corner is offset slightly or which point is gone but everyone else sees "WOW".. great for the ego, try it!!! Welcome and I hope we get to see some of your goodies too. I am waiting for friday.. payday to buy batteries for the old camera to show all my new projects. Made six table toppers in the last few days. Hope to make another six before I go to the dreaded UFO quilt top that is a quilt for Christmas. Probably should do that first.. but the ideas here.. keep me distracted. Blame it on the board. It is contagious and there is no cure.
