"Finished is better than Perfect"


This is a philosophy I can embrace.

Is there any other quilting forum on the web? :roll: :lol:

When I "surf" it's always here first and then on to a couple of political sites I enjoy. (I do have priorities!)

My friends and family always chuckle when I tell them "that" joke came from the Quilting Board.

Agreement with the sentiments and kudos to everyone for their consideration, confirmation, and confidence that we're all on a journey to make our respective worlds more beautiful. Our quilts/ wallhangings / pot holders/ etc., are all testimony, stories, and talismans for those who follow us.

Isn't it great to snuggle with a scrappy quilt that great-grandma made? Her hands touched the same fabric that is wrapped around me.

Our hands are wonderful things. Put a needle and thread in them and were "Back to the Future".

You put that so well. I'm glad to be on this journey with you.

Yep, we all quilt diffretly, but in a GREAT way!

Amen to that! Very well put.

beautifully said. Inspiring, even! Any time we think of a piece of our lives as a Journey, we suddenly pay more attention. We stop just being out there, Doing. Instead, we become aware that we are on a path, moving through a garden of our own making. Thanks for the inspirational moment. :-)

I agree. It seems like I learn something new every day from the posters here.It's a very relaxing time just scrolling thru the board to see what others are doing.Doesn't matter where you're from,all quilters welcome.

I think what works for one person may not work for another. I do prewash reds, browns and some greens. When I finish a quilt I always wash it, so add a dye magnet to the washer and use synthrapol in the water. Rarely have trouble with fabrics bleeding when doing this. I really like your idea of picking the hints that fit your sewing.

Variety is the spice of life. If we all did it one way.... it would be a boring world and we wouldn't be open to trying new things. Good observance on things. Never let it be said that ,"I did it my way!!!!!!"hehehehe
