I was ripping out a Fisherman's Knit sweater while on vacation when a Mennonite lady asked to look at it. She said if the mistake was obvious at a quick glance to rip it out, but if others had to search to find it leave it in honor of the perfect one. I've tried to have that philosophy when I quilt as I am my own worst critic. It's hard not to point out my mistakes when others look at my quilting, but I keep practicing to keep my mouth shut and enjoy the joy and excitement of those receiving my finished work, imperfect as it might be to me.
