It is so refreshing to hear each of you say exactly how I am feeling. I am such a "beginner" and a perfectionist that I feel like all of my work looks awful and I will never be a good quilter. The best compliment I rec'd was from a longarmer who completely fixed a huge mistake on one side of my quilt because I didn't quite match up and she thought that for a beginner I had taken on a huge project (It was a Fons & Porter Christmas Sampler quilt) and with all the piecing detail, applique and that she couldn't believe I picked all the materials to match. I wanted to kiss her. My husband told her that no one would even see the "mistake" but that I would surely point it out to everyone because I was such a "perfectionist". Boy does he know me!! So Thank You all for showing me that we all feel alittle insecure about our work when we should be singing with joy that God gave us this talent!
