Ye gads, I must be making rags compared to those fab quilts. Any way, I did spend some money on some cute fabrics pieces and some tools and stuff. I took the coast highway home to contemplate the day and decided I would not aspire to be a quilt artist, but will enjoy the time I get to put together some beautiful fabrics. long sigh. :)
You need to remember that your quilts ARE your art. I have seen amazing quilts too, but I know they are not for me to copy, just for my pleasure. That is why I go to shows. (I have 'borrowed' color ideas or uses though) :-D Make sure to look at the quilts here to, we are all differently-abled, and that is OK.
