A newbie observation
#43
I think the reason is that we feel there are very experienced quilters in the forum... and some times self criticism is a way of anticipating other's criticism, so we think: "before others say this is faulty, I do say so myself".
My two cents.

That is me in a nutshell! However, I have come to realize these last couple of weeks,that what you buy at the store is far from perfect at times. Made me feel instantly much better and not as critical of my work now!

David, you are so right! I know for a fact that we see mistakes non-quilters never even notice! I have to keep reminding myself that.
I expect my work to be perfect. Huh?????? Don't know why I'm like that! I will try harder in 2011 to stop being so ridiculous in my expectations of my work !!!!!!!!!!
Happy Holidays, everyone!

Have you ever known an artist who didn't? Tschaikovsky hated the Nutcracker; Beethoven struggled with many of his compositions; Charles Dickens did, too - he was appalled by his own "darkness"; Picasso tore up a number of what might have been priceless works in fits of fury, because he couldn't work out some little detail or other - something only he saw. Comes with the territory. <G>
Merry Christmas, anyway! May you be blessed with peace and harmony and lots and lots of fabric!
