1) ENJOY YOURSELF!!!! When first started quilting everything was in a hurry (make make make) overloaded had to do everything. Now I've slowed down and enjoy. So it takes me a little longer - big deal.
2) Its OK to use fabric that you've had for 20yrs. Maybe its just the perfect one for what you need.
3) Keep learning - Will learn something new everyday with the individuals here on the board. Little tips and techniques. What fun!!!
4) Do what I like. Everyone doesn't have the same taste, so don't take it personally. I'm more old-fashioned and that's OK.
5) UFO's are my friends wanting to be reconnected with after awhile.
I'm going to add a 6th here sorry! :oops:
6) Its OK NOT to have all the up-to-date tools, maybe you can be creative and figure out how to do it with something else. Frugal is a good thing, leaves more money for fabric!!! :-D
