I have to say, so far I do not feel disapointment is my mistakes. I've only been quilting about a year and find so much joy and happiness just in being able to quilt. To actually take a lump of material and turn it into beauty. No, mine does not look like many, mine are not fancy, but to me they are beauties and for sure make me happy. I know that I know I've done the best job I could do at that moment and that is what is important. :)I am in no competition with any one but self. :) I love learning new ideas from many who post and the tutorials you leave, as well as surfing the web to keep learning. ahhh happiness is quilting. :)
