Quilting is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the trip!
Starch builds up, clean your iron regularly.
Spray 'Sizing' makes piecing easier.
Know when to stop taking requests and 'do it for you'.
And... When you really mess up, and I do, a bit of chocolate, and reading a few posts here helps put life back into perspective!
