What I'm good at / what I'm bad at
 
Quilting edition. I am constantly amazed that I can still thread #10 beweens hand quilting needles. At the age of 67 I would have thought those days were over. On the other hand, I have been using a sewing machine for well over 50 years, and I still do not always remember to start sewing while the needle is in the up position, so when I start, the thread comes out of the needle. And then I go "Duh!"

Your turn!

I am relatively good at figuring out geometric designs/ patterns.

Applique designs - definitely need a pattern for those.

I am really good at discovering new ideas.

I'm really bad at remembering those new ideas.

I’m good at dreaming & planning my next quilt

I’m bad at giving my sewing room a thorough cleaning.

I'm an imprecise quilter. I don't like to follow a pattern - I'd rather swerve off the page now and then. I have to remind myself that accuracy is often important, but I do give myself license to make improvisational things sometimes. And I, too, think about my next project while trying to finish a UFO.

I'm good at buying fabric, just because I like it with no project in mind.
I'm bad at planning a project with the new fabric. I do find enjoyment out of dreaming about using all this "had to have" fabric.:)

I'm with Peckish and copycat on this one!

I'm good at making blocks, especially if they are from a sampler type quilt (not applique, not my thing, but like Barn Star Sampler or Moda Blockheads).

I'm bad about putting those blocks together into a top!

I'm good at: fabric selection for my quilts.
I'm bad at: tidying up before starting next project.

I am good at machine quilting. What I'm bad at is being organized when I sew. I have stuff scattered everywhere for one project.
