My least favorite part is buying the fabric....oh wait....that's my most favorite part (tee hee). :D My least favorite part is sandwiching and then deciding how to quilt it. That's where I really get stuck. Once I get going on the quilting I'm okay, but getting started is my brick wall.

Oh how I loath loading and unloading a quilt on to rails for machine quilting!!!!!!! I hand quilt most everything bigger than a wall hanging; one day I'll actually send something out to be done.....I hear these's someone out there that doesn't mind it.

I have a special situation. This is a very OLD trailer and I must turn off the heat to stop and press anything or I will trip the circuit breaker. Sometimes I feel like Lisa Douglas on "Green Acres". It would not bother me as much, I think, if I did not have to remind myself to stop, turn off heat, turn on iron, press my pieces, turn off iron, turn heat back on. Yikes! Can't wait for spring when I will not have to have the heat on.....

I've got quite a few completed tops...but I've got quite a few tops that just need a bit more work because it just wasn't going to be as much fun to finish as it would be to start another! For me, it's about the fun...not about the finish.

I dislike the piecing the most. I have learned over the years to just go ahead and do the parts I like the least so I can get to the parts I like the best. I love picking out fabric and imagining what I am going to do with it. All the steps after that until I get to the handquilting are just like a "job". As a child my brothers and I hated to do the dishes. As an adult I have learned to "just do" mindlessly, many things so that I could get to the best parts.
