3. i am not wasting fabric when i throw something away. i am beautifying the landfill; returning the cotton to nature; and contributing to the future of archaeology.
4. perfection is a noble goal, but it stinks as a standard.
5. try to inspire at least one younger person to take up quilting.

Label quilts (even if you keep them) with date, name of quilt who it is for.
when visiting a quilt store buy at least a fat quarter.
Use the best fabrics you can afford
Keep quilting a hobby doing it for money takes the fun and excitement out of the project.
Tell people you give quilts to, to use them not save them, quilts are meant to be loved and used not "saved". I tell them if you wear it out I'll make you another one.
