LOL Robin! I just love that saying! :lol:


For me "perfection" is not obtainable...I've accepted that. I try to do the best I can with the talents and tools I have available to me. For instance...I don't quilt on the machine...I tie all of my quilts the traditional way...so therefore they don't turn out like the next guy's quilt might...but that's okay. The last quilt I made, I strove for perfection...drove me nuts! I was sooo glad to give it away! Don't want it around me anymore! Now that's stressful and sad...I don't like those feelings.
