I am good at being fearless. It comes from my mother who frequently said "Eh, I've failed before and lived to tell". She tried all kinds of things (some she actually succeeded at-and I had a great childhood because of it) I decided I wanted to make a quilt and I've never taken a home ec class, never been in 4H, couldn't sew a straight line and learned to sew by reading the owners manual for my $100 Kenmore sewing machine. Six years later, things have definitely changed. I'm still diving into projects that are over my head,
I'm bad at being precise. My cutting, my piecing, my free motion quilting. my basting, my binding. All of it-bad. (heavy sigh). I can finish a quilt that is acceptable. I usually awe my recipients with such beautiful fabric that they overlook all my shortcomings. I tell people I make quilts with love, not accuracy. Love it, use it, wear it out. Maybe someday, I'll be good at this and make something i can brag about. Until then, we'll just enjoy the process!
