if it takes 10,000 hours to become a "master" at anything, then i am old enough to be a master at life, marriage, raising children, being a grandma, being a nurse, being an anesthetist, writing poetry, cooking, baking, and even quilting--just by seniority. oh--i forgot to add master at eating chocolate, reading on the sly, folding laundry, playing the accordion/piano/guitar/harmonica, and hoarding fabric.
hey! i'm getting good at this! and to the quilters who have achieved a "masterpiece quilt"--i salute you. i will probably never reach that level of excellence. and i'm too busy living life to ever even consider taking the time to dedicate to that "one" project. you have my undying respect and admiration.
