Quilting!! Finally
Please send me good thoughts and lots of energy. I am finally quilting
my "Remember Me" Challenge wallhanging. Nobody who sees it will ever know by looking how much work and time went into this simple, not very good wallhanging. But I know. I put on designn pieces and then took them off. I changed the background. I cut it in half and changed the entire idea. And now I'm quilting it. I don't think I can do the freehand stuff tonight. Just the "straight lines" stuff. So think of me tomorrow. I will post photos as soon as I can. The fun part is that I am going to attach most of the "interesting parts" of the scene after the qulting is finished. Lots of motion and loose edges. It won't be good enough for the guild quilt show. But next year........ I will be there. Sunny |

Quilting!! Finally
Good thoughts are with you! But please stop apologizing. Doesn't matter if
it's not Great Art of the Ages! It's part of your experience, you will learn something from it, so it's worthwhile. Therefore no apologies necessary! As the wise person once said, those who don't make mistakes don't make anything. So just enjoy the process and the experience as it happens, and learn whatever you need to learn. (And I'm betting it's a pretty fine piece, based on what I've seen of your work!) Roberta in D "Sunny" schrieb im Newsbeitrag oups.com... Please send me good thoughts and lots of energy.

Sunny, Did you have fun doing it? To me that's the most important part. If you did, then you succeeded... I struggle with many of my "projects' but I have so much fun doing it, so it doesn't matter. Your quilt sounds great to me. I'm always trying something new. hey, it makes life and quilting fun. Quilty Hugs, Deanna |

Sunny I think everything that I have done, quilting and otherwise has "problems" if you stare at them long enough. Problems are the tools that we learn by. I also don't think that there is really anything such as perfection: Just degrees of perfecection. I try to enjoy what I make and hope that each time I do something, it reflects progress toward the goal of perfection, even though I know I will never reach it. I hope you end up liking your piece and bet it will be just fine. It is just different that what you had invisioned when you started it. John |

Quilting!! Finally
Sunny: As others have said so well ... not to worry!
Right now my project is a very special one. I am making this quilt to extend comfort, sympathy, and kindness to a specific family that lost a son at Virginia Tech, April 16,2007. I want this quilt to be VERY VERY well done. As I was quilting I discovered there is a place where I 'lost' two points. ARG! Also, while outlining the star blocks, my FMQ is not a straight as I wish. It is a wavy outline! Double ARG. Even so, I know I am doing my very best, even though I am not a champion quilter. I am pretty sure the family will 'feel the good vibes' I am sewing into the quilt and not judge the stitching wobbles too harshly. I guess what I am trying to say is that the quilt is evidence that I did not just throw stuff together helter skelter, that I TRIED to achieve neat and fine craftsmanship. Good wishes always shows through. (I HOPE!) Hugs, PAT in Virginia Sunny wrote: Please send me good thoughts and lots of energy. I am finally quilting my "Remember Me" Challenge wallhanging.
