Well said.

Beautifully said........and you are absolutely correct!

A 'well done - beautiful' means more on this board than someone else gushing because you all truly know what it takes to create it. You are appreciating everything about the quilt. Non-quilters are just telling you they like the colors.

If I only knew how to copy this so I could use it instead of the fluff I usually say. It is so meaningful. :thumbup:

When I look at your quit, I see the hours of work combining just the right fabric and patterns together to create in your mind a pleasing quilt (because that that stage we don't see the tangible output). I think of the hours of cutting, and sewing. The frustration when seams have to be ripped, and re-sewn. Then finally the flimsy. I understand the thoughts that you have to weigh up about borders - to border or not - if so what colors??? Then there's the quilting - what will enhance the pattern - bring to life or diminish certain areas - and the hours of work involved in the quilting. Finally the binding - another choice which needs careful thought and consideration. And at the end of your hard labor all is say is "what a beautiful quilt - love it!". What I really mean is all of the above. It never ceases to amaze me what someone can conceive in their mind and create with their hands. Well done to you all :) |
You've expressed exactly how I feel too. The talent on this board is amazing and really inspirational. I am in awe of the many quilters here that make so many quilts, each one prettier than the last. I am so thankful to have found this board, and the generosity of the members to share their knowledge and talent with those of us that aspire to create beautiful quilts. :)

Too true...and nicely put. Even though we sometimes only use a word or two, we all know what a quest it can be. I too am thankful for being able to be part of this community...the knowledge base and generosity of the members is phenomenal.
