Hi Btiny. Sorry to hear of your aggravation..... if anyone has been quilting very long and is honest... we all have our moments of utter frustration!
I totally agree with the advice from charity-crafter. When I first began quilting, I could very easily jump into a project that was wayyyyyy over my head. At that time, I did not know anyone who lived close to me that quilted.... so I was on my own and on a one way path to major frustration.
Also, after reading your recent posts regarding the lady who is your inspiration...... perhaps you are being way too hard on yourself by setting your expectations to be equal to her level?? Just a thought.
Take some time off and step away for a few days and give yourself some time to just relax. If you love it, you will be drawn back to it with a renewed passion.
Best wishes!!!
