My New Years Resolution
 

It has taken me several days to think of something that I would enjoy doing differently and could stick to and besides portion control, I am going to take the time to comment on all of your beautiful quilts you post. I always enjoy looking at them but rarely post so fellow quilters, my New Years resolution is to take the time to acknowledge all your hard work. I admire your willingness to share with everyone. I make many quilts but they aren't "perfect" so I feel intimidated to show them. Maybe next years resolution!

our members have all levels of quilting. yes, many of the gorgeous/show quality quilts are posted and draw the most attention. but, personally, i love looking at the simpler/beginner quilts just as much. i can 'feel' the effort that went into them. i hope that you start posting yours, as well. please don't be shy... we were all beginners at one time.

I've been posting since i started quilting. I am still a rank beginner, but the encouragement I get from everyone here makes it easier for me to continue learning to quilt. So, post your pics, we would love to see them.

Everything she said. She is exactly right!

I agree with QuiltnNan, that the higher level quilts are beautiful and enjoyed like a piece of art. But I also like to see the other quilts that encourage and inspire me to try new patterns and techniques. I hope all of you will continue to share your quilts and discuss the pros and cons of your experiences. Thanks to all of you.

Sometimes I am intimidated by the quality and workmanship that goes into many of the higher level quilts, but then I am inspired to try harder to do better at my work.

If it were not for all the encouragement I get here, I would still be making only nine patch quilts with the first pattern I bought. (I made 9 of them.) Now, I am designing, planning and making my own quilts. All of you should take a bow for keeping this the most positive group I have ever had the pleasure of being involved with. Thank you all so much.
