I love the diversity of this quilting board. It is interesting to see the different interests and backgrounds but yet share a love of quilting. I especially enjoy seeing all the sewing spaces!! Some are absolutely breathtaking and resemble more of a studio with state of the art equipment, laptops, long arms, sergers, beautiful cabinets ect. And then we have the more humble homey spaces ( like mine lol) that have a low key sewing machine may or may not have a lot of bells and whistles and not tons of room yet beautiful things are created. I think how neat it is that despite if an individual has 25,000 in a sewing room/equipment or 2,500 or even 250 or (gasp) less … beautiful quilts and projects are still being created. Some of the most amazing quilts that have ever been made Dear Jane for an example—the woman didn’t even have a rotary cutter people! Yet a masterpiece was made because of the drive and passion she possessed. So it is encouraging to me that anything is possible and if we are blessed enough to have all the extras that is wonderful but don’t down yourself if you do not have the latest either. Because in the end it is all about the Love of quilting!

Well said (typed). I'm on the humble side of space and stash, however I love quilting and this board:)

Amen to that.

Amen! :-D

Very well said.

Well said! :D

Toooooo true!!!!

Well said.

Yes. I agree.

Very nice thought for the day.

Sew true,sew true

It's your innate creativity and ability to see opportunities rather than obstacles. Who cares if it isn't blue ribbon quality as long as you did your best and like the way it turned out.

ditto :) :-) :D
dar

I'm still jealous ;-)

Lol

Very well said. :thumbup:

Thankyou for my very first giggle for the day....I surely needed it.....XXOO

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Yes! :thumbup:

You just made me feel like a queen in my humble abode :-D :-D

You are very special to even have these thoughts, and even more special to share them. I think this is the most peaceful place on earth.

Amen!

You said it all! :thumbup:

Quilting is an expression of a creative mind and it dosn't take lots of equipment to create a beautiful quilt!

You are very kind!

And u should!

I always love your thoughts...because I think the same things! Quilting is more than a hobby for me...in the superficial sense I think people think it is my living (now) and because I have quite a bit of money invested myself ...but in all reality....I don't think of quilting as just any hobby or a way to waste my time....It isn't really a passion either..it is more like a part of me..I can't imagine my life without quilting..it offers so much to me...It has brought me closer to God...Brought special people into my life and it has afforded me many things I could never possess any other way..I know who is in control of that! Above all I know that there was one plan for me...and it included quilting.....I am blessed.

You are so right.

what you said is sew true. i have always felt fortunate to have my own space to sew and quilt, 2 nice machines and a small stash to create from. thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Ditto

You have a creative way of expressing your love of quilting. Although I have a long arm and two sewing rooms devoted to sewing I started out sewing at the kitchen table so I can certainly relate to your way of thinking.

Well said :thumbup:
