To the initiator of this thread: How long have you been quilting? Do you enjoy it? How long ago did you attend art school and how long ago was that?
I personally believe you are over thinking this thing that we so love to do......and what each of us is happy doing/learning...I have been doing "this" for a long time and am still learning new techniques, and yes, buying new toys along the way, and enjoying the advancement in the world of quilting........Now I am going to go to my sewing cave and stop doing this theory stuff...........want to use my hands and create........I don't want to analize(sp) why I am doing it, I just want to enjoy the doing.
