Sometimes it's hard to admit who you are - am I nuts?

I know what you mean about your little world. The big world is so overwhelming and to angry, desirous of perfection, non-tolerant. Your world is happy, full of wonder and safe. I like your world, mine is very similar also so I would be happy to share worlds with you. I think that is what the quilting board is all about. Our safe happy sharing and caring world of quilting that likes to make people smile and feel good.

explain: one of those things that life throws on a family - younger brother died (changed our lives), father worked long hours construction in Boston, and I had to help my mother with 3 younger sisters and present myself accordingly. Funny how you look back at things at 30 then at 50 you're whole perspective changes. No animosity there; life is quite the lesson, isn't it?

Congratulations to you for doing your own thing! If you love what you're doing and it makes you happy then full speed ahead. Master quilter? I'll never be one and I don't care one bit. I do the very best job I can and my friends and family, who are the recipients of my projects, are happy with their quilts. That makes my heart sing and I don't want anything more.

Glad to meet you Nancy, I feel the same way about my quilting and embroidery, if it makes me happy or to whom I give it,then that is what counts. Not quilt shows for me I usually won't even post a picture. So keep enjoying your projects, I plan to. just received back one of my first quilts 15 years ago,that I tied and all the ties have broken. Now to repair and put on the Longarm for quilting ,should last at least another 15 years. Happy day

In this world it is important to please yourself first. Whatever makes you happy is all that matters. Not everyone in the world is perfect nor did God intend them to be. It is all about having fun and doing what pleases self. Who are any of us to judge others. You keep on quilting and doing your dolls. You Rock...
