I know what you mean. I think part of the reason it can be so hard for me to listen to is that I have been looking for an artistic outlet for a long long time. I can't draw or paint, I'm not a particularly snazzy dresser. But I love color, and I was thrilled to find quilting because I feel like its useful, creative and its part of my heritage.
Well, wether it is stubborn or whatever... it gives us a healthy artistic, creative outlet... it also helps my confidence to make something aesthetically pleasing... and that is good enough to continue any venture... so hold your head high (I will too) and keep on quilting... you are a quilter!
