What I am good at-
 

I decided that it is
okay to acknowledge - to myself, anyway - what I am fairly proficient at.

There is always "room for improvement" - but I am quite happy with how much some of my skills have improved over the years.

Why not give ourselves some pats on the back now and then?

You should get a big pat on the back for your posts! They always make me think just a little bit as I contemplate my response. For today, I will raise my hands clapping to celebrate happiness with myself!...and you!

...plus all the other fabulous members!

Should we continue in that vein here? Would you mind, Bearisgray?

So what are you all good at?

My blocks usually end up to be the size I intend them to be. ( plus or minus 1/ 8 8nch)

I can frequently figure out how to replicate a geometric block.

The backs of my blocks are usually neat.

I am good at basic math.

I know how to change the size of a block..

I have learned to be more adventurous with my color choices. Thank you, Jinny Beyer.

I have gotten better at figuring out why something did not turn out "right". Sometimes it was the pattrrn or instructions that had the error.

Your turns - - -

I am pretty close to finally accepting and live with it, but I don't get near as stressed out with some minor error in my quilt. In other words, I don't feel that I have to point it out. And for me that's good.

I am good at thinking I can make every quilt pattern I see. Really I agree with sandy l. I have learned to relax and stop stressing about a little off.

I'm finally getting the hang of FMQ and I realize that little mistakes that I thought would show really don't once it's all quilted.
Also- nobody in my family quilts so they think what I make them is perfect. I won't tell them different :)

I am good at keep my sewing and quilting items and fabric neat for the small place I have. I have to do this to know I can find things. I also think I am getting better of stitching in the ditch. Maybe we will all almost be perfect before we are too old!!!

I am really good at keeping my studio clean, and at how well I keep organized when piecing blocks and tops.

For my art quilts, I am good at having an idea but waiting until the whole thing: design, colour, fabrics, technique, finish, come together before I begin it.
And, I am good at recognizing when my idea is not going to work out the way I wanted and letting it go so I don't get stressed out about it.

I'm pretty good at sewing curved seams...and appliques...definitely not mitered corners, but keep trying.

HHmmpphhh.... I'm not good at much! But I do enjoy trying. I guess I'm good at trying to ask the right question and pay attention and listen. I know a lot of things, but do not consider myself as good at any of them. Modesty? Perhaps. But a realization there are those of you out there who know far more than me. And that is what keeps me coming back into this forum and reading on a semi-regular basis. I'll be best at thanking all of your for your patience and knowledge!!!

I’ve gotten to pretty good at choosing fabrics. At first, it gave me high anxiety to select the fabrics for a new quilt. If the owner of my favorite LQS wasn’t in when I went there to shop, I just turned around a walked out. I didn’t trust me or anyone else to select what I needed. Now, I walk in with confidence and walk out with fabric. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to a quilt shop since this pandemic started. I’ve been using up my stash. But, I received my first vaccination last week and so in about 6 weeks I’ll run on down to a quilt shop. I just wish my favorite LQS hadn’t closed down a couple of years ago.

Well I am good at quilting and sewing, decorative painting and I love to cook. I also was a darn good nurse.

I am good at amassing beautiful fabrics and, on occasion, making lovely quilts from them. When I'm not quilting, I'm good at writing for publication and meeting my deadlines.

I am confident about my designs, color/pattern choices and visual ideas. I am good at finding the right fabrics in thrift stores. And I'm not afraid to lurk into the belly of my machine with a screwdriver in hand.

I am a jack of all trades and a master of none. I try to do the best I can but I will never be perfect.
