Although I've only been quilting a short time, I've been into other crafts for years and years, especially knitting. But I'm terrible at finishing my knitting projects, and only slightly better at finishing quilts. For a long time, I struggled with an awful sense of shame about this--not because of anybody else's reaction, but due an internal criticism of myself. After all, isn't the inability to finish things you start supposed to be a bad thing? But lately, I've changed my attitude toward my hobbies: they are activities I do for MYSELF, and they serve a purpose that (to me) is greater than that of a finished homemade pot-holder or cable-knit sweater. It's really great to see so many other crafters feel the same.
