Talk about ability to stay focused! Even if my hands didn't get too tired to keep going that long, my attention span would never hold out. LOL
He's my Hand-Quiltin'-Hero!
Obviously a transferance of the primary creative role from actual movement (quilting on the machine) to the planning state. I don't have the patience to hand quilt anything. As a robotics software engineer, I am use to instant gratfication. It works, or it doesn't. I like to see the results as I am working.
And yes, I understand everyone is different, we all get out of our efforts what we put in.
