I heard that the Amish do that too. I don't have to worry about putting deliberate mistakes in my quilts, there is always something I feel I could have done better! All part of quilting, I guess.

Welcome from Pine Grove, California---those little mistakes we make just give the finished product "character"---don't worry about them!

You're going to like it here. Prepare to be inspired, learn a lot, get help when you need it and best of all laugh!

Welcome to the quilting forum. I am from TN, but my daughter lives in Bowling Green. At least when I go see the grandbaby I can go to fabric stores, since we do not have any in rural Macon County. Again welcome.

Hi from PA. Yes TIppy and ANgie the Amish still do put a deliberate mistake into their quilts. I have two. Most of the time you would never see it. I know where they are in my quilts and still have to look hard. They beleive that only God is perfect so their quilts cannot be.

And Hillbilly I too took solice in quilting. My mom had just had her lung removed from cancer and I took with me a Giant Dahlia quilt top to hand peice while I was taking care of her. My mom is gone now but the beautiful quilt will always remind me of the time I spent with her. Currently a UFO.

She has been a trooper and loves the things I have quilted for her. Since I started quilting a little over a year ago it has helped me get through some rough times as well as giving joy and comfort to those you love!

Sorry, sometimes I just get like the Energizer Bunny........... I just get on a roll and keep going & going & going.........
