When are you the happiest while quilting?
#21
Oddly I seem to be happiest when I'm working on something that will take weeks or over a month to finish. I never realized it till I read this post. But when I make something small and it's done so fast, I don't enjoy it as much. I guess want a challenge, and/or deadline, and/or something that will be my project for a while.

I love the designing process, whether I start with the pattern or fabric, I never follow a pattern exactly, I have to make it different. Then the fun hunt (in my stash or LQS) for the perfect fabrics. Don't like the cutting too much. The machine piecing I enjoy as long as I am still working to see how it will look, I kind of get bored at that point. I love all the hand work, applique, quilting, binding. My favorite parts are very worth doing the less favorite parts.

I would say that I am "happiest" when I am at my friend Rajean's house quilting and having tea, visiting and playing with the grandkids (I have one son who is 29 and has not blessed me with any myself YET, but I keep hoping they'll be ready soon). On the other hand, I am most "content" sitting in the living room with my DH while he watches football on Sunday, screaming at the TV, and I am hand appliquing. It's what passes for "quality time" in our lives now.
