My bobbin thread is not always the same color as the top thread.
I incorrectly mix my fabrics in the same quilt. ( Joanns, WalMart and LQS) Oh! The horror!!
I sometimes use a sheet for backing.
I sometimes use dishes, lids or whatever instead of proper templates.
I don't really NEED all the rulers I have.
I don't always follow the pattern.
Bless her well meaning heart, I love her dearly but if she says just ONE MORE thing about my methods or lack thereof, I will beat her to death with my stash.
I sent her the link to this board, she will learn much more here from all of you talented folks.
Just think - - - after you've killed her, you can bury her in a quilt you made using all of the 'wrong' techniques (-;
I'm sure she means well, and will soon learn from you that there is more than one way to do something - be patient (and keep that quilt handy in case your patience really does run out).
