Oh yes I agree Idont know how many things you can put in bookmarks but I have proof that it is quite a lot.

Baloonatic 02-12-2011 07:17 AM

I'm like you...I'm weird toooooooo!!! (And a poet as well LOL)

Homespun 02-12-2011 07:19 AM

Me, too--to do list is really long!!!

Mickie612 02-12-2011 07:44 AM

You are not alone. But do you feel deep inside that your will not be a pretty or well done as the the ones on this board? I try but I can see all the little mistakes and feel so stupid. I do really love seeing all the things people make on here.

Macie 02-12-2011 07:52 AM

Yes indeed. I am now working on my second quilt but have about 100 patterns ready to go for the next one and the next one and the next one....

KathyKat 02-12-2011 07:57 AM

I better live a long time because I keep seeing more quilts I want to make!!

Macie 02-12-2011 07:59 AM

Ditto do not know how much more time I have left but will continue. I love the pattern of the quilt you have on your picture Can I get a copy of it?

DA Mayer 02-12-2011 08:04 AM

No, you are not weird, I to would like to make everything also, and always hoping to get the patterns, there are soooo many wonderful and talented people on this board, i learn a lot. You get so many opinions and different choices of how to do things. This is such a fabulous site, and i am so grateful i found this site with all these helpful people.
Thank You to everyone!!!

We are all too critical of ourselves. Just keep saying to ourselves "God didn't make it I did" I bet the ones we think are perfect, the person who posted the picture thinks there are all kinds of errors in theirs. LOL Unless they are made for judgeing, who cares. They are a handmade quilt or whatever and there should be at least one goof in them. We are supposed to have fun. Keep plugging away at the piles of patterns girls. At least we will never be bored. Tee HEEE!!!!

mimee4 02-12-2011 08:39 AM

Oh, yes. I want to make them all. But then I'd have to go buy more fabric - my stash just doesn't match very well.

Flapper 02-12-2011 08:49 AM

Just wondering how much can bookmarks hole????

Tweety2911 02-12-2011 09:02 AM

Yes, so many wonderful designs and the list grows each time I am on this board.

ConcreteSher 02-12-2011 09:08 AM

Sure you're weird--that's why you're here with the rest of us nuts! What other hobby involves taking something already beautiful, cutting it up into little pieces, and then putting it back together again?

It's of no use to fight the insantity, so revel in it!

SharonC 02-12-2011 09:10 AM

Guilty as charged :lol:
Whoever can look at all these beautiful quilts and resist the need (yes I said need) to made them is a lot stronger than I.

I used to feel exactly the same way after going to quilt shows, that my work would just never compare. And then one day I said to heck with it, I'm going to try one of those "hard" patterns. And you know what, none of them are that hard. Remember, all you're ever doing is sewing a 1/4" seam--it's not like we're putting in zippers or something!

Pick something you think is beyond your level and just jump in! You may make a few mistakes along the way, but that's what the seam ripper is for! I bet you'll surprise yourself.

pkary 02-12-2011 09:23 AM

Between the quilt pictures and the ones for avatars I have enough ideas for this life and my next one too!

misoop 02-12-2011 10:10 AM

Yes, my bookmarks list is getting longer and longer....never will get them all done, but I'm trying. :)

Divokittysmom 02-12-2011 10:25 AM

Gee... I thought that was a purely normal reaction!! :-D
My list is longer that even I can believe but that doesn't stop me from adding more!!

Kayaker26 02-12-2011 11:25 AM

I agree but my talent level is no where near that of the quilters who post here. I do hope someday to be able to do work that is half as nice as I have seen here! Thanks to you all for the inspiration!

Patchworkmarion 02-12-2011 04:29 PM

I'm like you.Now if I could only stay away from this darn computer I might get something done.

k9dancer 02-12-2011 04:30 PM

I have books upon books of block & quilt designs. If I made one a month, I'd never be able to make them all (gonna' do my best, though).

Alondra 02-12-2011 04:33 PM

If you're weird, then I'd have to admit I am, too. There are so many gorgeous quilts and good ideas, I can't keep up with them. What an inspiration it is, too! Thank you to all of you who post. (I don't have a digital camera yet, so can't post.)

I rarely want to replicate a quilt I see exactly, but I do get tons of inspiration and ideas! I think our creativity feeds off each other.

denilynne 02-12-2011 04:54 PM

My to do list just keeps growing and growing

Nettie Phillips 02-12-2011 05:02 PM

No, you are not by yourself. I get so excited and want to make
them all but I just can't work fast enough.

rob529 02-12-2011 05:38 PM

Well sure, but you've had a "few" other things on your mind right?

LOL Relax your in good company and we do not disclose names to outside entities (namely spouces, children or professionals)

huntannette 02-12-2011 07:55 PM

tutty 02-12-2011 08:04 PM

coldquilter 02-12-2011 08:07 PM

Well, lucky for me, I don't know how to bookmark and I might not want to learn!!! It could be a real problem.

grammysharon 02-12-2011 08:39 PM

I am with you, I hope I just live long enough to make a few of them.

Marvel 02-13-2011 09:37 AM

So many wonderful patters and ideas. At least the pictures let you view all the beautiful color choices. If we could just live untill we try them all. Lol Marvel

Lucy90 02-13-2011 11:23 AM

I'm like you and the list just gets longer and longer.

milikaa1 02-13-2011 12:12 PM

I am the same way, and I want to compliment every one on here for their beautiful quilts! Everyone I see is amazing.
