My sister is my quilt police. I often don't tell her what I'm doing or show her anything. She always has a "suggestion". I'm doing the Farmer's Wife Sampler with the group on this board and I finally had to show her my blocks. Even though I said "no suggestions" please, she would have had a stroke from not talking, so I let her give me the advice.
Personally, I love the creating/designing and when things work just right. But, when I'm not perfect, I remember that the day that I have nothing left to learn, God will take me home! Quilting is one of those easy places to make my "mistake a day". :D
