Hugggggs and 3 cheers for so many of us who are deciding to be easier on ourselves.
Labfairy, I don't think that means not trying to improve, it just means not being so hard on ourselves when we are not perfect. As long as we keep trying to do our best, we are bound to improve and not stay at the status quo.
quilterguy, I agree, I know I am proud of the things I have made so far. They are not perfect but they are mine and I love them. I'm sure they will get better as I gain experience, and I will love those too.
But most important of all, I love planning, cutting, piecing and all the rest of the process. It gives me pleasure and therapy and joy. And best of all, it gave me this board and all you wonderful folks!!!
