Stop posting pictures of all your beautiful quilts! I look at each one and think how much I want to use the same pattern and then I get depressed because you are all so much more prolific than me.

Next thing I know, I have wasted an hour or two of valuable sewing time on my computer and then I am even more depressed.

I can't seem to discipline myself to stay away. I may never finish another thing! :|

Welcome to the club :wink: This site is very addicting and definately cuts into productive time on a machine :shock: LOL

I'm right there with you. I'm using valuable sewing time on the compueter when I have a deadlline and a quilt to finish. :) Discipline not procrastination!!

I feel your pain!

welcome to the world of quilting.

:( I know the feeling.... I'm trying to get one finished now. But the good new is that I found the inspiration here. :D

you are judging yourself aginst many many people. STOP IT. make your quilt and let us tell you how wonderful it is.

I know the feeling, I have not made one stitch today. Just keep looking at the board.

I love everyone's quilts no matter how new a quilter. This is a very talented and supportive group. We all have something to offer and share, just go for it. Don't get depressed, just start sewing. I was in a funk for a couple of months, then got a couple of things done this week end and off and running again.

I'm not judging myself at all. It was a tongue in cheek post. I love seeing all the pictures but it is seriously cutting into my sewing time. :lol:

Those gorgeous quilts are meant to make you feel energized and inspired! :D :D :D

I agree with what K says.
I feel the same way too, but have found patterns that I thought I could not do, only to find out .... it does come out as nice as the picture!
Just go for it!!

I understand what you are saying, I spend too much time here also.

But I look at the beauty of the quilts and the knowledge of the fellow board members and think, "Some day I will be able to do that!"

Happy Quilting!

I know just what you mean. I get home from work at seven PM and sit down just to take a peek and the next thing I know it's after nine. I just love coming here.

OMG do I ever know what you mean!! It is unbelievable how beautiful these quilts are! ENVY ENVY ENVY...at everyone's talents.

Counldn't have said it better myself.

Welcome to the QMB where we're all in the same boat! :shock: :mrgreen:

On the other hand, you won't find a better group to hang out with!

The first time I walked into a quilt show, I felt like a beginner. I had been quilting for 9 years at that point. I may NEVER be as good as what I have seen there AND HERE, but that does not stop me from trying.

Take a deep breath and say to yourself "I am as good as my latest stitch. To improve, I must stitch some more".

I also spend too much time here and not enough time quilting. I can't thank the quilters enough on this site for all the info and inspiration you have given me. Now, back to reading the posts. LOL
