Dear Annesthreads,
Try to picture in your mind what the beautiful quilt will look like finished. This will help motivate you to the process of completion. This helps me a lot, especially when I get stuck on a problem or issue with the top. I stare at it, and try to imagine it's beauty once finished.
Upon some soul searching about my life, I have come to realize one of the ways I love myself, is cuddling up under one of my creations, a quilt. I truly feel the capacity of loving myself, complete through working so hard to finish. I love to lay under a quilt, a feel the abundance of self love. It really is a beautiful thing.
It's a good thing to love yourself. Sometimes it's hard to do, especially when we tend to replay old messages.
I have also come to realize when I give my quilts away, that I too, hope, they will feel my love. It's like giving love away to those I care most about.
I hope that helps. Let us know how you do. A lot of people here care about you.
Love,
mmonroe
