When I'm dealing with customers who are overly stressed about working on a project or a new quilter worrying about making mistakes, I always refer to this 'old-ism', (for lack of a better word). It's amazing how the stress immediatley disappears from both their bodies and faces. As they leave, I tell them to have fun, and usually get a releaved smile.

I would question if they make mistakes. I have seen a lot of their work and it is pretty darn near perfect...

I have read that exact thing, Jan. It said, more or less, that they would never intentionally have an error in a quilt because that would indicate that they thought they were so perfect they just HAD to make an error on purpose since only God is perfect. I believe this is fact.

Isn't it an oxymoron if one is humble deliberately on purpose? Like, because if you didn't deliberately make a mistake (because you're really too good to make one by mistake, you see) then people would think you're really trying to be like God. :rolleyes:

I am not trying to be humble....I just make mistakes. I have joked about leaving them on purpose because nobody is perfect.

Why is it perceived that the Amish are perfect (by some)? Of course they do beautiful work, they are human. Just sayin'... 😊
