Then I remember that I should enjoy the journey rather than getting things crossed off my list - mostly when I begin feeling fatigue doing supposedly what I love to do - quilt and sew. I think Sarah Craig gave the best idea to take a fresh look at something the next day or two when feeling frustrated. It's amazing hoe the mind is more creative when rested and relaxed.

Some bloggers reply to every post, that is pointless to me if it is a brief 'token' reply, you are a true blogging friends who makes a real link to fellow bloggers!

I enjoyed reading your post. I think it's good to reflect on what we are doing, and why, sometimes.

I've learned that if quilting is frustrating, or if I'm making a lot of mistakes, I need to step away - either from that project, or from crafting that day altogether. Sometimes just setting that particular project aside for a while can solve the problem - when you come back fresh, it's easier. Your little top is too cute - why don't you square it off and put some border on it to bring it up to a usable size? I've seen table runners done that way and they are very cute. It seems a shame to give it away....Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.com
