I'm with you on the puckers, I can overlook everything except the puckers.

ONE of my biggest flaws, getting up in the morning and making plans to get so much accomplished when I get home from work - then being so tired when I do get home, I get very little done. Just not enough days in the weekend!

I have a vision and I'm going to stick with it and people are going to think it looks freaking fantastic when its finished".

Amen to that!

My biggest flaw is hand applique. I've tried all of the different methods and nothing ever looked decent. The shapes did not look like they were supposed to, they were not sewn on the block where they were supposed to be and/or the stitching didn't look good. I'm still trying though. I'm determined to accomplish the dreaded "A" word.

My road to hell is paved with good intentions. In the end, all my plans to FINISH something get lost in all the distractions. So Not Finishing is my biggest flaw. (But if you heard my tall tales, I sure am busy quilting up a storm.)

I'm an impatient perfectionist and I can't sew straight! :?
