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.

I feel for you, Sunny, but think of it this way - you made it YOURS!

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!)

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

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.

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!)
