I'm working on a friends quilt and I keep saying that I wanted to be more like a professional, that I wasn't pleased with what I was doing. She kept saying that It looked great to her. So I guess I shouldn't compare myself to someone that's done it for years. When I've just been at it a year. Thank you Amy for your words of encouragement.Callistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575652671614232316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-10674563139743358792015-09-30T16:41:41.145-04:002015-09-30T16:41:41.145-04:00TY...

Along with that is an age that gives expectations of "instant" everything, sometimes with the underlying thought that no effort is needed!!!!!! The practice needed to achieve the mastery of a skill can be such a pleasurable time..........a time when we can focus, and enjoy, the process and congratulate ourselves on an outcome that, while not "perfect" is better than when we started!!!!!!!
