I have learned that I can make any quilt a bom if I want to. I just mentally break it up into months and do that part. It gives me freedom to work on more than one thing at a time and not feel guilty about it.

I've learned that:

A good pair of scissors is ESSENTIAL, worth the big buck$ they cost.

I've learned not to be so critical of myself.
And the ol saying "begin the rest easy" when I get in a sewing
slump.
Use starch
Read the whole pattern before beginning cutting.
Press don't iron. I still catch myself ironing. Its a hard habit to break.

I've learned to be organized in my sewing room. I've become obsessive/compulsive about it! I love having my sewing room, my fabrics, notions and projects organized. It makes sewing so much more enjoyable when I don't have to dig or hunt for something I need. And having all my projects organized in clear plastic storage bins makes it a lot easier to work on my UFOs. And I've learned that I love being retired and being able to sew whenever I want. And I LOVE sewing with friends. I may not get as much accomplished, but I love being able to talk and laugh with someone while I work, see what they are working on, and show what I'm doing. And I love "ta-das" (what you do when you finish a quilt.... show it and say TA-DA!!!)

Thanks for the post. I too need to slow down and not work with a deadline. Enjoy the journey of each project. Thanks for all the reminders.

I have learned that we all come up with are own methods and some how it all works. But ironing is my #1 thing that I think is important.

I have learned that procrastination doesn't work unless you want to spend a lot of time ripping out. If I am making too many mistakes just walk away. Also to write down the supply list before heading to the fabric store if buying for a particular quilt.

I learned that when I'm at my wits end with DH, I need to sew more... it lowers my blood pressure. and I'm learning to enjoy the process, not just the end results.
