Don't you hate it when you labor over something, rip out endless seams to get it just right, only to show it to your non-quilting friends and have them say "Oh, that's nice."
Nice? NICE? Do you have ANY IDEA how long it took me to make this? You try working your fingers to the bone till all hours of the night, with the dog yapping to be let outside, only to be answered time and time again "just one more part, I promise". Stick your fingertips with pins and needles (and I'm not even a diabetic) repeatedly...I could go on and on.....
NICE? These people need some lessons in admiration and adulation! At least I know the recipient of the quilt this will go into will very much appreciate it - it's for my MOM, my biggest sewing fan!
