Trade Winds for Bali Pops. First time I used jelly rolls and of course I failed to pick a contrasty enough fabric for the
triangle.
YOU KNOW, SINCE I HAVE MS AND BECOME DISABLED, I was forced to give up needlepoint and embroidery because I could not hold a needle. I was lost without a creative outlet. Then, I took up quilting. My work is far from perfect but I do it FOR ME. Yes, seems may not always be straight. Lines don't always match. But I do it and thanks to this board I feel like a part of something. Because I am not able to do somethings does not mean I cannot appreciate certain techniques. I do more and unique things than most able bodied people. I am proud of myself. For my determination, persistence and ability to adapt. I think you should be as proud as a peacock and thankful that you are able to do most things. I only have use of 1 arm/hand am in a wheelchair and I still post my most recent works on this board.
Stop giving yourself mile markers.
