Seems like the times I say it will just be for me, I then wish I'd been more careful so I could enter it somewhere but really I do sew just for me even if I enter it later. <br /><br />Glad you commented!<br />LeeAnnaLA Paylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553491768819243802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-35965908642146752392013-07-11T17:45:31.551-07:002013-07-11T17:45:31.551-07:00Love that attitude Marie.

Good to get away from that insane impulse to make seams and points and joints perfect and just enjoy the play of riotous colors! I just finished a quilt like this--and think I'll do another.<br />Martha GinnMartha Ginnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609132014556238098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-20313832126026893862013-07-11T13:04:32.123-07:002013-07-11T13:04:32.123-07:00I come to your blog from the QA list.
You are not...I come to your blog from the QA list. <br />You are not alone! I cannot be show or contest driven. I need time to let my mind wander, and I have other things that I enjoy doing - sometimes for days or weeks. <br />I refuse to allow guilt or pressure to influence my quilting time. If something that I make works for a posted theme for a show that's wonderful, but if not I don't worry.<br />Relax and enjoy whatever you do, even if it's just walkthepoodle!mzjohansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099656264060749484noreply@blogger.com
