SIGH....I get so frustrated because I love sewing and quilting so much and cannot seem to make much progress no matter how hard I try. I look at the quilts/project on here and think...now why cant I make something that nice!

I get it when I look at award winning quilts and just can't imagine doing something like that! OMG... I can only imagine how hard that was to do and HOW did they do so much work!!

I love looking at the quilts here, even though I know I will never make one "good enough". But when I see my 20 year old son, or 27 year old daughter take their quilts somewhere for comfort; I know that in their eyes I am a perfect quilter!
Snugglin in love is what it is all about...not how good it is!

I admire all the quilts I see and I know none of mine will ever be show quality. I just love cutting up fabric and sewing it back together to see how it turns out.

Lol....Remember you have to crawl before you can walk. I can remember a time when I too was impatient but with each project, I learned something new. I read all the books and read all the tips...especially Judy Martin...she is a wonderful teacher. One couldn't ask for a better teacher to teach one quilting.

After I learned all the in's and out's and still learning, I was ready to do whatever. I don't care how much time it takes me to make a quilt because in the end, I will conquer it.

Have courage and continue on your journey, after all, it is a pleasant journey and you will arrive one day to your expectation....
