I think this perdicament could be added to the list of things that trigger peri-menopause hot flashes.
I could have written this ! I'm new to quilting and absolutely love the planning, buying, acquiring and reading about quilting ! HOWEVER, I have great anxiety about getting started ! I think what causes the anxiety is that I'm so afraid of messing up another top and wasting all that fabric. Too, I feel so overwhelmed at the projects i've acquired I get where I can't make a decision, other than to get on QB and see what others are doing !
Can't say hot flashes are the cause since I'm done with all that......my excuse this week is that I just moved last week and still don't have things sorted.....so why am I not sorting things now ?
Getting ready to head out to several yard sales; I did see one that advertised a treadle machine...that is where I'll head first, wish me luck !
