It's basically about slowing down and enjoying the process of sewing and quilting and not rushing to get things done just for the sake of getting things done. I have always been a slow sewer and will continue to be so. I know everyone is different and slow sewing is not for everyone. But if you find you are not enjoying quilting as much as you used to, try slowing down and be mindful and in the moment when you sew. You may find your sewing becomes alive again.
I was laughing at this. Even with using shortcuts and new things I'm still slower than molasses. I tend to overthink things. That might be due to the fact that I always tend to choose to do something I haven't a clue how to do and I can't seem to follow directions.
