You must be doing something right if you went so far as to get yourself a longarm. =) Sometimes just slowing down and not trying to get things done at break neck speed and learning to enjoy the process makes everything better. Honestly..I was the same way a few years ago ~ minus the longarm ~ I just couldn't seem to do anything "right" I stopped and took stock of why I love this Quilting thing. I came to the conclusion that its my right to choose what the rules are. Not everything I do is show quality but I sure do love the process. And anything that makes me this happy ~ is something I'm gonna keep on doing. I hope you find your happy place. =) And create something beautiful!
