Love to stitch

Pictures definately. I am a visual learner in just about everything I do.

I actually can figure out a pattern just from the picture in most cases - so I'm like you, need that picture!

Hi Barbara, until recently I would have said - yes I am a visual person, no picture and I can't see the end result so I would pass it by.
However yesterday I decided to experiment and made 2 table mats to put in a hamper for Christmas presents. As the two mats were sitting there partially completed while I decided what to use/do next I suddenly thought "this is making a nice pattern, if I leave this centre here square it will make a great looking quilt block" .
So I promptly phoned my LQS (an hour away) and asked her to save me what was left on the rolls of sale fabric that I had bought the day before so I could buy it next week when I go down there.
Now I am hoping I haven't bitten off more than I can chew! :roll:

IMHO we are all very visual as we are artistic people. If some are blessed to also be literal learners, how lucky. I can struggle and follow written only directions, but I really need photos to make it easier for me.

My thought: " A picture is worth a thousand words." I think this is the reason I have a very hard time of visually seeing a project. Looking at material....I see material. I have friends that say can't you see the sky, flowers, etc in that material???? My learning desire is to make art quilts, but without a picture to go by. No way.

funny that you should bring this up..
We just got back from dinner at a Chinese restrurant and this was my fortune----

I like the pictures, it really helps to see where I am going.

Yea I prefer pictures as an aid. I also need to see a picture of a recipe in order for me to be interested in trying it.

Granny 59 love your quilt! Part of the fun is looking at the quilt and deciding how it went together, then reading the instructions to see if I was right. The process is relaxing!

I teach high school students. I try to have projects at various stages for them, but sometimes even that doesn't help. sigh.
