We are our strictest critic. When I go to "professional" quilt shows, I am in awe of being in the same room with such fantastic quilters. But I also know there may be something that I do that they may not do as well as I do. As long as we work at our passion with the idea that we can always do better, but not to stress if it is not on the project we are currently working on. I have learned so much from everyone here. Sometimes I may not execute it correctly, but I try. I do not believe in "heirloom" quilts. If a quilt is in a closet, who knows about it. My quilts are used, have memories, and are enjoyed. That, to me, makes it an heirloom. We have so much to learn, and to share.
