I hate the statement “Quilt As Desired”!

I hate the statement “Quilt As Desired”!

If you’re like me, you shudder when you hear the words, “Quilt as desired” in the pattern instructions. This is so not helpful for someone who has never quilted a quilt before. How could you be expected to know what you should quilt on your first project? You would think that the pattern design would have some idea about what would look good on their design. So not fair!

Invest In Your Quilting

Invest In Your Quilting

Stop thinking about your quilting in terms of how much money you spend on quilting – a cost - but rather how happy it makes you – an investment in your well-being. This means being cost effective but not stingy. Invest rather than spend and be frugal rather than a penny pincher. Invest your time, your money, and yourself wisely: assess your investments by their value rather than solely by their cost/price.

Lack of Time is Just an Excuse!

Lack of Time is Just an Excuse!

“There is never enough time!” is a common refrain that I hear from most quilters. While it would be fun to quilt 24/7, the sad reality is that we all have other demands on our time. That leaves us with two choices: carve out more time to quilt or make better use of the quilting time that we have. There are only 24 hours in a day and you have many demands on your time so the hard-to-accept truth is that something has to give. If you are serious about making more time to quilt, you are going to have to make some changes in the way you approach your life.
